Hello to group,just wanted to let ya'll know about this and this experience with Amsoil.I was running Amsoil 15-40 diesel oil in our 2003 W-900 Kenworth.While driving down the hwy the oil pump shaft broke,looked like it was cut with a surgical saw.Anyway the driver drove the truck about three miles before he noticed 0 oil pressure,oil alert didn't go off: fuse was blown,when he noticed he pulled off,and we got it back to our shop.When we pulled the pan we expected the worst,but all we had to do was replace the shaft.The main's,and rod bearings were fine,we pulled one rod bearing cap to inspect,and it didn't even look like it got hot.So what you hear about Amsoil is no BS,I use it in everything that I own.

Thanks for all the info again and just an update. Played it safe like I said and went with Bel-Ray Big Twin in the gear-box and their Primary fluid as well. Draining the primary, which had dealer installed syn3, came out like dirty water and lots of crap on the drain plug magnet. Both the fluids are red and of a heavier weight than syn3. Took bike for a test ride and day-and-night difference. Shifts way smoother and quieter. I know there are a ton of oil threads, and dont want to start another, just thought I would give my input on a good product. Ride Safe!
