Amsoil

[ZR-1 Franz]

What about Amsoil synthetic oil (10W-30) for the ZR-1?
Any experiences?
Thank you for your answers.

I use their marine grade racing oil in my boat SC big block chev boat motor and it is great for that application with fast recovery of PSI on the gauge after a hard run (five min @ FT)

In my ZR-1 I have Mobile 1 but I think next change will be to Amsoil AMO 10W-40

In addition to pictures I added to Hammer's original data above (all fluids are synthetic), I shall add coolant and oil filter information here.

RADIATOR COOLANT
Once and for all...For Zerex the first gallon is called Regular Green Coolant (GM 1825M), the second gallon is called Original Formula (GM 1825M) and (now shown) G-05 Formula (GM 1825M). Zerex ZXRU1 is 50-50 and Zerex ZX001 is undiluted. The third gallon is NAPA (GM 1825M) coolant.

OIL FILTER
I concur with Hammer on all fluids cited above except I am using the Mobile 1 M1-207 oil filter

BRAKE FLUID
For brake fluid I am using Dot 4.

And...I am going to install this oil drain plug in my differential.
