Q: tony kimmell wrote theres no doubt in my mind that amsoil is some good stuff. i know people who use it and have had good results with their oil analysis. i use mobil-1 for the simple fact that i can go down to the local parts store and buy it off the shelf. its also the only true pao-base synthetic oil that can be bought retail. castrol syntec penzoil synthetic and all the other retail brands are not true synthetics. i also wont use any products made by those companies simply because of their knowingly-misleading use of the term synthetic. i run mobil-1 with ac-delco or wix filters on a 6000 mile change interval. i could run it up to 10000 miles or more but this way i change the oil and rotate the tires at the same time. if amsoil would sell their products over the counter then i might be inclined to try them but im not going to go out of my way to find a dealer just to change my oil. i dont really believe that amsoil offers anything that mobil-1 doesnt. ive seen oil analysis on both brands and theres not enough difference to justify paying the higher amsoil price. ive run mobil-1 to 15000 miles in a vehicle before and an oil analysis showed that it was still perfectly capable of staying in my crankcase but for the $25.00 cost of an oil change i decided against it. like i said before amsoil is a good product... but its not so much better than mobil-1 that im going to switch. yeah what he said... .
