Years ago when I first started useing AMSOIL , one of the first advantages you would notice when using gear lube was on a cold morning you would notice the shifter moving like a hot knife through butter. Why not give synthetic a chance before putting a lot of money into your power train. Just my $.02 worth.

:shock: :P :twisted: :-)r :-)r

you see..i would use amosil except they dont sell it here locally and i get a 60% discount at lordco autoparts because i work there. So i will use synthetic oils but not amsoil. I will once i start workin at C.P rail and make more money because then i wont have that discount because i wont be working for lordco anymore.

What are some good synthetic oils for the gears? Im going mobil 1 for the engine.

What about the tranny flush and axle fluid? I think the trasnfer case wont need one since i barely have used it lol.

Consider this a lot of L.O.S.T. members are AMSOIL dealer and will sell you at our cost. Just go to this site:

http://www.amsoil.com/IndexArray.aspx

Then go through all the recommendations and we will take your shopping list an PM it back to you. I'm not bad mouthing the other brands of synthetics. But Amsoil pioneered the industry and as you look you will see Air filters better then K&N , synthetic ATF-4, many different flavor of gear lubes, in fact when I got my 02 Sport last year it called for a different Gear lube for the front and the back. most often it ships UPS. Check it out get a quote from any of us before you have a chance to buy the best. And now back to your schedualed program alreaedy in progress :!: :!: :!:
:shock: :P 8) :twisted: :roll: :-)r :-)r

ok. If i can get this stuff at dealers cost, im going to assume its cheaper to buy amosil. And since everyone here that has used it LOVES IT. I am thinkin im going to give this stuff a try.

There are a few places locally here about 45 min away that sell it. But wouldnt it be cheaper to get it through one of the dealers on here?

Remember i live in Canada. Also where do i go to find out what oils i need for my KJ? this be the first time ever ordering something online for my vehicle.

I have never done this out side of the states, but go through your shopping list and PM me and I'll get you the pricing also check with JJsKJ he may have done this already. To be honest the only reason I became an Amsoil dealer was so I and my freinds could get Synthetic at a good price. So if you order from me it might take an extra few hours during the working hours and get you your quote. But thats why we're on this forum everybody tries to help everbody else, better then some disfunctional familys :D :D :-)r :-)r 8)

It turns out there are 2 Distribution centers . 1 in Edmoton and 2 in Toronto so UPS may be even better then I first thought Just PM your shopping list or double check with JJsKJ . But it looks even more promising now then when I first addressed your question.

I fully change the engine oil once a year and just replace the oil filter and add a quart every 6 months or 12,500 for filter or 25,000 for full change if you really want to go the whole 9 yards look at the Amsoil by pass oil system.
:http://www.amsoil.com/StoreFront/bf.aspx
with this set up you can go even longer between oil changes. With the price makes it even sweeter. Once again don't take my word for it double check with JJsKJ. As I said I'm not in this for the money I'm out to help out buddies and myself. :wink: :D 8)

lol, looks like a neat little system there but i am already in debt as it is. Maybe when i have some more income i will look into that, for now i am just looking for some quality oils without breaking the bank.

Not trying to milk your wallet it's just so many options available. Like every thing it only takes money but thats the great thing about this forum. Everybody wants to make their Jeep dependable and the most fun you can have and still have your clothes on.

:shock: :oops: :D :twisted: :roll: :wink: :-)r :-)r

Canadian Tire sells some Amsoil products now, that's where I get my engine oil. As far as ATF or diff lube they may be able to get it too, IDK. I get my Amsoil diff lube at the local propane dealer. I haven't swapped to Amsoil ATF yet, but that's coming next change. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

apparently JJsKJ has had some past issues on shipping to Canada, hes not sure the best method or how to get a shipping quote to Canada for the amsoil....Hmmm this maybe difficult, i may have to look into it at local shops but im sure its going to be too expensive for me.

Contact JJsKJ or myself when we put in our dealer number we can retrieve the dealer cost and then you will see your discounted price. Anybody can go on line with Amsoil but you will get retail pricing. But your freindly neighbor hood L.O.S.T. Amsoil dealer will get you your discounted price. It's set up this way to keep the dealer network because you have to sign up and pay to be a dealer.
