Opie Oils are pleased to announce that we are now stocking a considerable range of Amsoil Synthetic Oil products. Whether you're looking to service your daily driver with a top quality lubricant, or taking your modified vehicle on track, and need something to offer extremely high levels of protection, then there is an Amsoil product for you!



For those of you that are new to Amsoil products, they are a brand with a rich history in motorsports, and a huge name over in the States. Sponsoring massive American events such as the Grand National Cross Country, the official oil in the AMA Supercross Championship and sponsor for the International Hot Rod Association, you can see why they're trusted time and time again by motoring enthusiasts accross the world.
Amsoil was founded by Albert J. Amatuzio, a former jet fighter pilot who had conducted research on synthetic engine oils in the early 1960s. After several years of in depth study, Amsoil then formulated synthetic oils for other applications, including specialised vehicles and severe operating conditions. The breakthrough came in 1972, when they developed the worlds first fully synthetic motor oil to meet API service requirements - you can now see why they are so popular in the world of race, rally and track driving, as they were designed from the ground up to offer outstanding levels of protection, even under the harshest conditions.

Hi Ron.  I don't know a lot about the ACE but it has a hydraulic system to interact with the anti roll (sway) bars in addition to the rear air suspension.

You'll probably need a code reader to interrogate the ECU and find out what the problem is.


There may be a dedicated plug in reader available like the ones offered for my RRC, I think they were refered to as a "kicker" because they were used to reset the ECU fault codes but not reprogram them.

I do remember that on the Disco2 active suspension you can't program the rear height either, you have to set the current height as the default.  One possibility is that the ECU can't get the rear end back to the correct or default height, possibly because you have loaded the rear end?

Have the load height sensors been removed?
