Wouldn't the dealer (if that is who is servicing your KJ) know to top off the fluid after the pad swap? Just curious |

If that was a question then yes they do they just in fact sent me a flyer on their new high Performance Brake Fluid and they went on with a discussion with Boyd Coddington along with his endorscment for Amsoil. Now I'm no longer bumper to bumper Amsoil I guess it's time to spend some more money and upgrade

Now I'm no longer bumper to bumper Amsoil I guess it's time to spend some more money and upgrade That’s exactly what I was thinking! Hey, do you have Amsoil ATF in your Power Steering? Do you have AMSOIL in your Radiator? This is a test to see how devoted you really are! Oh, I was gonna ask you, are you running 0W-30 in your KJ? |

I do have the ATF in the power steering I don't have the anti-freeze yet only because when I bought the Jeep in late July of 2006 it had a bad radiator and A/C system so it was all new upon purchase. But I just replaced the Power steering fluid and it steers real smooth now. Before I replace the anti-freeze I need to replace the drivers side rotor , front pads, install tow hooks, get sliders and armor. But being unemployed since mid August and trying to get qualified for disability benefits I have to watch all my nickles and dime. But i've been an Amsoil dealer since 1977!! so I would hazzard to say I may have some product and brand loyalty going
PS Yes I am running 0W-30 in the Jeep since purchase and in my prior ride a '95 Dodge Dakota 4x4

You beat me out in useing amsoil more then myself. But I have used it all my rides through out the years. The best acknowledgment I ever got was years ago when I bought a Toyota from my borhter-in-law who was working for the local Toyota dealership. A month after purchase I brought it back for some warranty work, (by this time I had already converted to synthetic) when i went to pick up my car the first words out of his mouth was "I'll never bad mouth you funny oil ever again!" I said thank-you but what has changed you tune?? After all you take great pleasure in giving me S#!T on a regular basis. His Reply was you car is the quitest smoothest running car on my lot the only thing I can attribute it to is you synthetic oil. |

Featured Products Page, Incl Brake Fluid FWIW, I am almost Bumper to Bumper Amsoil products in all 3 of my Jeeps (just waiting for the brake fluid to get here) and all but coolant and brake fluid in my Scion . |

I've been waiting for you to join in sorry if I baited you into this discussion. But you have a lot more Cred with the LOST family, aditionally despite my longevity with Amsoil, you have far more experience with a wrench in you hand and performing major surgery on Jeeps. |
