I'll describe the process I went through, I am sure Rich can add more info

Start here:
http://motorcitysynthetics.myamsoil.com/

Click on SHOP ONLINE.  That takes you to the AMSOIL site, with MotorCity's referral code in the URL.

If you want discounted pricing, buy the 6 month or 1 year membership (that's the only thing you buy the first time).  You will set up your account (ID/Password) during this process.

Wait a few days to get the membership packet in the mail (< 1 week usually).  Once the membership is active, your discount should show automatically when you log in and place items in the cart.  I would check daily to see if this active, in advance of receiving the paper materials.

Check to see if you are near a distribution center if you want to save on shipping costs.  I am a bit far from the 2 centers closest to me, and am better off having the items shipped to my home directly.

Select the items you wish to buy and add to cart.

Place your order.

Shodded was spot on in his directions, thx Manu.

Here is a direct link to the preferred customer sign up.

I highly recommend this, as it will save you around  $4/quart.

Once you've received your account # and member packet in the mail you'll be able to order via the Amsoil page or
http://motorcitysynthetics.myamsoil.com/

To make sure you are getting the right product...

1...click on shop online/shop by product

2...product guides

3...choose vehicle type

4...add specifics of vehicle

If you have any further questions or would like me to do the researching of products requested, feel free to send me a message.

Thx

If I could ask a favor. 

I'm about to go through this process in the next few weeks and overtime I goto Amsoil's webpage and start looking at what they recommend for a 2014 SHO I get bogged down in research.  I tend to always want the best but when it comes to some of the options going nuts doesn't give me any benefit.

Can somebody post exactly which product they would recommend for a DD SHO that gets high mileage (about 5k/month.)  Quantities is easy making up my mind not so much.

Thanks for the help,
Francisco

Signature synthetic is my choice.

[SHOnUup]

Signature Series 5w/30 would be your best bet.

Hi Rich,

I always used 0-30 signature....

0-30 is going to flow faster at startup I'm wondering why you suggested the 5 over the zero?

I have always wondered if the 0 was too thin to do any good even though it flows faster, especially since Ford changed the warmed up viscosity from 20 to 30.

As I remember, the manual on my '13 SHO says 5w30... Nut in a harse winter area there might be other recs to get better cold oil flow.

Which is the reason I used the 0-30, our winters can get very cold.

Regardless of climate 0 will always flow faster than 5 and we all know when the majority of wear happens so if it doesn't hurt anything I feel the 0 will always be better, at least in that regard.

That being said, especially considering oil dilution issues di engines can have I'm wondering if there may be a trade off.

Disclosure-My current oil is 7.5-35

Thanks everyone! Got signed up as the preferred customer, now the waiting game!

Like I said, check your account online everyday to see when they have issued your membership number, simply by logging in and adding a product to cart.  The price should auto reflect your membership.

Never hurts to have a headstart

FoMoCoSHO,

Seems like I remember something regarding the larger the difference between the two ratings, the more breakdown or less effective either viscosity is over time, or something like that (have to dig up my old motorcycle research stuff).

So, a straight 30w oil would act as a 30w longer than a 5-30w would, and the 5-30w would hold the properties of the 5w and 30w (each) longer than a 0-30w, or something like that.  0-40w would be a little worse yet.  I think it was something like the larger the gap, the more modifiers are needed to have the cake and eat it too for each side of the range.  When the modifiers break down, so does the performance.  Biggest problem with the bikes was the motor oil bath transmissions shearing the molecules, modifiers and oil.

Again, I could be totally recalling this all wrong!!

If you plan on doing real long intervals...15k+ I'd say use the 0w/30, or in the dead of winter with consistent negative temps. Amsoil flows so well already at the 5w/30 level so it's not needed I think.
