Amsoil xl 10w-30 or just regular amsoil? read this!



Now Amsoil advertises that their oil is the 'extended drain interval' oil. They do this by pumping up the additive package. They can have as much as 3 times as many additives as Mobil 1, so in theory it can take more 'shearing', lasting longer. More additives means less actual oil in the mix, resulting in less lubrication, less cooling, more wear and tear...you know the rest. The oil may last longer, but at what price? Your engine?



Which one has less additives? Meaning better lubrication? Ill change it every 3k miles, i dont believe in that 15k mile drain bull crap , lol. THANKS!

Bobby, You are not gonna' give up on this, are you. (I do however understand your vigor in this matter).

What you wrote above almost sounds verbatim like what the guy wrote in that article you linked to before. That was one guy's opinion and thoughts.

Like everyone has told you, you are not going to go wrong with any of the oils. With as much as you worry, you really should do a UOA to help put your mind at ease. You should also look at UOA and VOA numbers/analyses. Hard numbers tell much more than theory and opinions IMHO.

You realize that an free-flowing air filter element can actually change your UOA results? You fret over the make-up of oil, but there are other factors out there which affect the motor and what is in the oil (that was one tiny example). how about a bypass oil filtering system?

Just a little bit of perspective.
Good luck with your decisions bud.
