hey guys, just wondering if anyone is interested in joining the amsoil group buy? alternatively is there an amsoil distributor in WA we could set the same thing up for?
Yes there is a distributor in WA (use search function )
I bought 0W30 last time and I'll never buy it again... Never had such a bad lifter noise! Went with Motul 300V chrono 10W40 this time, quite expensive but runs smoothly!
Ralliart & Mitsubishi recommends for their V6 engines only full synthetic 10W40!
The reason i have offered to host the group buy from here is that i believe, including freight, all members "should" be able to buy it cheaper from QLD then their respective home states. There is a distributor in WA see here
I would suggest giving them a call and asking for a price on your individual needs, then comparing that to what i have obtained through our QLD supplier. You will have to add freight but i have included a postage calc on the GB thread. You may also have to pay freught locally, i am not sure how close you live to them etc.
Tom, how much did you pay for your 0W-30 ?
And as for the recommended weight for OUR engines, Mitsi state 0 or 5W-30 in the manual.
10w-30 is only available in a gallon which is 3.785 litres $66.00 each
0w-30 is available in gallon and quarts (.946 litres) $75.00 for gallons and $20 for quarts
If this is the first time using AMSOIL we recommend using the engine flush which is $11 each.

I would guess not to many people would be as interested in the filter as you say, a Z142A will work at over half the price.
I have used the Amsoil filter before and have also heard a lot of people say "they do a job the cheaper ones do but better"
I think you can buy magnetic oil filters through Autobarn, i think they are called "drift" or some brand like that. They are still around the 20 bucks or so.
