Amsoil is great. I bought a ton of it back in the day for all my cars. I hate the fact, that I have to do that. I can't just buy what I need, when I need it.

We should see if anyone is already a dealer here. Otherwise it would suck. The year membership cost I forget how much, then the oil. Then you would have to ship it to everyone, it would suck.

I just typed my zip into the dealer locator: Dealer Locator
Looks like plenty of places that sell it near me anyways?

Look at the other thread. I won't let it anywhere near an engine I care about.

I have been using Amsoil for over 20 years and now use it in our X5 and a V8 4Runner. I use the engine oil, diff oil and the transmission fluids. From what I can find out Toyota use Amsoil for their "new" low drag transmission fluids.
I'll never use castrol after they once scammed me!

Castrol, Mobil 1, et al, are all quality synthetic oils. Your 2002 will not care/know the difference, imo. GL, mD
