Hi John
I fully understand what you are saying, all you want to do is look after
your truck!
So, if you stop using Amsoil, where will you go from there. As my engine is
different to yours, should I be looking at different criteria?

Hey Brian
I concider myself to be one of those poor very unlucky b------s who wants
to do his best with his cruiser. But at every turn I am hampered by a lot
of misinformation, coincidental mishaps that just happen just after someone
has worked on the cruiser. But still I try to get there, where that is I
dont know its like the old story of two steps forward and one back.
I do think however if there is a better thing or object that makes our lives
or the lives of our cruisers better why not try it after you have been
convinced by hard facts.
I say that because I tried all the usual channels of what I THOUGHT would
be pure honest true information , the Toyota guys, the local machanics, the
local motor factors, and other people.
What I found was people with vested interests in their own products, lack of
knowledge, or the worst was people who actually thought what whey were
telling me was true.
Things just did not add up, some saying , Dino is best for that old cruiser,
Synth will blow it up, stop it from working, Synth is only for new cars,
this brand oil is best cause I sell it, Semi synth is best of both worlds,
synth will rot all your seals etc etc etc.
So I had to find out what OIL actually was and what it does and go from
there. I did with the help of what I concider some very honest, reliable,
factual, people whom I now concider to be indispensiable to me and my
appitite for knowledge about my cruiser. I also checked what I could on the
net.
It all boils down to what you believe or want to believe with all the
information you have collected and what you are willing to pay.
I have been running Amsoil for a while now and the only thing is as I have
said ( it likes drinking it).
I think this could be due to poor information about running it in after the
rebuild concidering just after the years warrenty was up the new head
gasket blew.
But I would love to keep it going on Amsoil if I could get it cheaper but
dont know if that will be possible if it continues to have this drinking
problem.
