Message:
I have 03 4x4 and 20,000 miles ago I had the front and rear diffential fluid replaced with Amsoil gear lube. Yesterday I took my truck in for an oil change and they said both my front and rear diff. fluid needed to be changed because it was discolored meaning its dirty. Does amsoil gear lube usually go bad after only 20,000 miles?

i think there just trying to get money out of you. gear oil will change color but that doesn't make it bad.
the gear oil in my truck had 151000m on it before its first change. i wouldn't worry unless its low.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, especially when they told me that the front left axle seal was leaking and needed to be replaced, yet the level of the fluid was normal. Thanks for the advice.

Idakota,
You are kidding me ... right?
They just wanted to get their hands into your wallet.
The color of the fluid should be AMBER ... and AMSOIL recommends that it should be changed (for cars, SUV's, light & medium duty trucks) at 100k miles under normal driving conditions and 50k miles under severe driving conditions.

FYI - Gear Lube Information:
High quality gear oils must lubricate, cool and protect geared systems. They must also carry damaging wear debris away from contact zones and muffle the sound of gear operation. Commonly used in differential gears and standard transmission applications in commercial and passenger vehicles, as well as a variety of industrial machinery, gear oils must offer extreme temperature and pressure protection in order to prevent wear, pitting, spalling, scoring, scuffing and other types of damage that result in equipment failure and downtime. Protection against oxidation, thermal degradation, rust, copper corrosion and foaming is also important.

Tineka, In response to your question:
"Why doesnt major parts supply sell it (Amsoil)?
WELL ..... DODGE DEALERSHIPS NOW CARRY AMSOIL !!!
This was posted by Sephiroth 3/20/2004
V8 Forum --- Subject: New Chrysler Product?!
Message posted by Sephiroth:
"I went in to have my brakes checked today, and when I walked into the garage the first thing I saw made my jaw hit the floor. My local dealership now uses and sells AMSOIL products!! They've got it posted on a big banner over the service-desks. GM may not have been able to get it for their 'vettes, but obviously Dodge was able to, or they found out how awesome it is and started buying at regular price! When I go in for a tranny-filter, fluid, and gasket change next week, it's getting filled with AMSOIL."
Sephiroth went on to state:
"This is at the Raleigh, NC dealership, Al Smith Buick, Dodge, Mazda. I told the guy at the desk I was astounded to see them using AMS and that I had been using it for a while now. After he rode in the truck he said he'd be switching next oil-change in his Ram.
As for me, I've got it in the engine, and I'll have it in the tranny soon! Next up are the differentials. After that I need to get a dyno just for curiosity's sake. IF I get 3-5hp form the differential, and God knows how much from the engine and tranny, that'll be enough without any heavy mods. Well, for all I do anyway. If it is a significant gain, I'll post the results."

... and as part of the same thread jeremiah2360 stated:
"Norwood (MA) Dodge sells Amsoil too."
__________________________________________________
Dodge Dealerships are beginning to realize that Amsoil offers a FULL LINE of Premium Synthetic Lubricants and Dodge Dealerships are beginning to offer Amsoil.
Why ...
1) Dodge knows Amsoil meets AND exceeds Dodge's requirements.
2) Because their customers are asking for Amsoil.
3) Amsoil = 30 Year History of Research and Development
4) Amsoil offers the best Synthetic Lubricants
__________________________________________________
Anyone know of any other Dodge Dealerships offering Amsoil?
It is still less costly to DIY !!!
Especially as an Amsoil Preferred Customer!
