Thats all I use (Amsoil). It is WAY expensive, but like anything else, you get what you pay for. And yes, in all the independent studies I have seen Amsoil puts pretty much every other synthetic to shame.XXBULLETSXX said:Where do you buy your amsoil? and isn't that stuff really expensive, like it puts Mobil One to shame sort of thing? But I have heard there is nothing on the market that is better!

I use Amsoil 5w-30 High performance motor oil with their SDF-11 oil filter. I am a preffered customer, so I get a bit of a discount on their products. I first put Amsoil in my car in July of 2004. I just changed it for the first time a couple weeks ago. When I drained it, it came out almost new. I put around 8,000 miles or so on my car in that period of time with no problems. Amsoil full synthetic motor oils are the only ones I know that offer a 25,000 mile/ 1year drain interval guarantee. The oil filters are good for around 10,000-12,000 miles, and it is recommended that you change them every 6 months, but only change your oil in total every 25,000 miles or 1 year, which ever comes first.XXBULLETSXX said:So what weight are you using in your 4.6 and how many miles do you get out of Amsoil? I've heard some people get ridiculous mileage between oil changes when they use Amsoil. Is that true, and how far do you go between oil changes?
Isn't Mobile 1 supposed to get something like 5-7k miles between oil changes? In my friends new vette, his owners manual says to only use Mobile 1 and change the oil every 7-8k miles. That's too cool, cuse I always forget to change my oil on time! :damnit:
I've seen a document of an oil analysis test that was performed on Amsoil motor oil after 500,000 miles of usage. All that was done is regular oil filter changes every 10,000 miles w/ the new added oil to make up for what was lost during the fitler change. The Oil analysis read that the oil wasn't even at half life in terms of acidic build up. Any type of dirty that is greater than the filtration micron should become trapped by the oil filter. Amsoil is not just a synthetic motor oil, but a motor oil with a synthetic additive package that helps reduce the build up of acids and things of the such in the motor oil. You must also remember that before installing Amsoil motor oil into any vehicle, you are advised to run an Amsoil engine flush through the motor which helps break down the previous motor oil and breaks loose old sludge and varnish that might have accumulated in the motor over time. This helps in allowing Amsoil to do its job.Kilgore Trout said:Even if the oil does not break down as quickly it still accumulates dirt, acids, and volatile compounds just as fast. Some of these things are not removed by a filter such as acids. I think it is best to use reasonably priced oil and change it every 3000 miles.
