I have a quick question for you guys that only run amsoil. I see that amsoil reccomends that you flush your motor with their cleaner before you run their oil. Do you guys do this before switching to the amsoil brand? I have been running syn3 on my 08 SG since new. So would I need to do this process or would it be ok for me to switch to amsoil without it.
Thanks,
Jason

 

after a couple of oil changes the crappy syn3 will purge from the system

i did not flush mine been using amsoil for about 2 yeras now a great product

ride safe

 

I've never done it. I run Amsoil in the crank and Redline in the other two holes. It won't cause a problem to just switch

 

you will be fine by just changing oil, but you should do it the way that will make you happy.
been using amsoil for 5 years now in all my rides

 

No flush here, runs fine.

 

The folks at AMSOIL realize that there is always a little oil remaining in the engine even after a drain and they must figure that their additive package won't be friends with whatever the other oil is. I think it's a nice thing to do if you have the time and money for the flush, but I don't think it's necessary. I run AMSOIL in my truck, car, Harley, snowblower and mower and I switched without flushing any of them. No problems at all.

 

Dawg,why not Redline in all three? just a preference?

 

@1000, Harley Synth, @ 5000 Amsoil, no flush.

 

When I switched from regular HD oil, trans, and primary, I just drained them like a normal oil change, but put amsoil in all three holes instead of the normal stuff. I did it at 5,000 miles, and I have about 22,000 miles now, and no problems at all. Makes it easier too just buying stuff by the gallon and not three seperate items.

 

I never flushed mine. Put Amsoil in crankcase 20-50, 75-90 in the transmission, and 20-50 in the primary at the 10k service
