Gear grease and differential covers etc ??

Yes starting in 2019 the DRW moved to the 12" and gets 75w140.

 

[bcbender]

yeah, but I have the 12" in the SRW model, hence the confusion, but back then I think John said the 75W90 was fine as is was only needed for the heavy towing that is expected given the ratings on the DRW?

 

[lpennock]

Correct. SRW is 75W85 while dual is 75W140. I agree with John on 75W90 being fine.

AMZ/OIL website does list 75-85 but shows 75-90 SevereGear.

On another note the AMZ/OIL EAO80 oil filter appears to be available to order, $16.60 Dealer Cost.

I googled AMZ/OIL and the only thing it would pull up is AMSOIL.

Maybe you'll have better luck than I do. It shows in stock but when I go to checkout it strips it from the cart stating its not available to ship to my address, or any address I try.

I did add to cart but did not proceed to pay.

There's no slash, merely a color change in the background. You've had it wrong all these years.

Just completed an order for 4 EAO80 filters sent to SoCal.

Current design, notice how the "S" looks like a "Z"

If I remember the story correctly, Amzoil was being sued by Pennzoil, because of the similarity of the name. The late Al Amatuzio Sr. just flipped the "Z" around and "Amzoil" became "Amsoil". That seemed to satisfy the judge, although Pennzoil was not amused.

Perhaps, John Holmes (very knowledgeable about Amsoil and other topics) can verify for accuracy.

This is a factual story. My Dad was the first AMZ/OIL Dealer in WA.

And the “OIL” could also be visualized as “710”......when upside down.

Just checked my order for 4 EAO80 oil filters and they are shipped. Will be interesting to see if they look the same and are still Made in USA.

Picked up a load of Amsoil stuff yesterday. Got my dealers last stock on EaO15’s and EaO42’s. He doesn’t have any EaO80’s and has no clue when he’ll get filters again.

 

[Cummins12V98]

OK here is proof they do exist but I am sad to say the once proudly Made in USA EAO80 is now just another South of the border product!!! LOOKS exactly like the one I removed from my 01 Sport last Summer.
