| How many here have learn the benefits of synthetic oil and are using
| it? Synthetic trans fluid? Synthetic rear end fluid?

|
| DIESEL AND MARINE
| MOTOR OIL
| SAE 15W-40
| Custom-Blended For Outstanding
| Performance In Today's Engines
| PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil combines the superior lubricity and performance capa-bilities
| of a premium synthetic lubricant with special rust
| and corrosion inhibitors. AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty
| Diesel and Marine Motor Oil is recommended for engines
| used in marine applications, as well as diesel engines
| used in trucks, fleets, mining, earth moving, construction
| and farm equipment. Other applications include taxi and
| local delivery fleets with gasoline or diesel engines. With its
| extended drain intervals, AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty
| Diesel and Marine Motor Oil reduces maintenance
| costs, downtime and the cost of waste oil disposal.
| Provides High Shear Stability
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil surpasses the European ACEA and North American
| SAE oil specifications for high temperature/high shear
| (HTHS) viscosity. It is significantly more shear stable than
| conventional motor oils, retaining its viscosity at tempera-tures
| and loads that break down conventional oils. AMSOIL
| Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil maintains
| an extremely protective viscosity of greater than 3.7 cP at
| 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D-4683 High Temperature/High
| Shear Test, exceeding the test limits.
| Prevents Rust and Corrosion
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil contains special rust and corrosion-inhibiting additives
| to prevent the rusting or corrosion of iron, copper, lead and
| aluminum materials.
| Improves Fuel Economy
| The premium quality synthetic base stocks in AMSOIL
| Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil
| provide a tough lubricating film on all engine parts,
| reducing friction and fuel consumption. Reduced fuel con-sumption
| reduces exhaust emissions of carbon dioxide,
| water and particulates.
| Resists Oxidation - Reduces Engine Wear
| Conventional oils oxidize at high temperatures, causing
| sludge and deposit build-up that decrease fuel efficiency
| and contribute to corrosion and increased engine wear.
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil, with a flash point of 442°F (228°C), resists oxidation
| and thermal breakdown far better than conventional oils.
| It continues to provide maximum protection at tempera-tures
| that oxidize conventional oils. Also, the advanced
| heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL
| Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil helps
| engines run cooler and reduces wear.
| Extended Drain Intervals
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil is formulated for extended drain intervals. Its unique syn-thetic
| formulation, improved detergent/dispersant capabilities,
| and long drain additive package ensure maximum engine
| protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain
| periods. Its advanced 12 TBN formulation keeps engines in
| superb condition even when the oil is used for extended
| drain intervals.
| Provides Low Temperature Protection
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low as -47°F (-44°C).
| It circulates rapidly to provide vital lubrication and prevent
| engine wear caused by lack of oil flow. AMSOIL Synthetic
| Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil allows quicker,
| easier cold temperature starting with less engine wear.
| Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
| AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor
| Oil far exceeds the NOACK Volatility Test. Many conventional
| lubricants cannot pass this requirement. Low volatility means
| less oil vapor passing into the combustion chamber. A reduc-tion
| of oil vapor means lower oil consumption and lower
| exhaust emissions. The high detergent alkalinity of AMSOIL
| Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil also
| helps reduce oil consumption.

Looks like spam but I use synthetic motor oil in the winter time but use
regular havoline 3 during the above-freezing months. With synthetic I
change oil every 2800-3300 miles and in the summer it's 2200-2600 miles.

In the rear end I use golden spectro (I'm a dirtbike/atv enthusiast) and I
use havoline atf in my manual transmission. I also use slipkote in the
motor once a year and put half a bottle in my mantrans when it gets changed.
The slipkote usually gets put in the mantrans when it needs a fill as well.

I've used Torco syn. oil in the engine, diffs.,transfer case, manual
trans. from the beginning and do a flush once in awhile on all.

mobil1 15w50 in the 6.5TD, mobil1 atf in tranny/t-case, castrol syntec in
the front & rear diffs. i'd use mobil1 in the diffs, but their gear oil is
hard to get in canada [i have never seen it at a parts store yet, and mobil
online won't ship to canada yet...]

i hear they have some real good oil, but i've had only good experiences with mobil1 and it is available from walmart and crappy tire and such... i'll stick with them. they haven't let me down yet, and hopefully never will..

Any suggestions on grades in summer and winter for Ohio 5.3L, silverado.
Also grade of syn. oil for transfer case?
