Well, I have been a AMSOIL dealer since 1972 so used to use it a lot.

Now I prefer using Rotella 15-40 in the diesels, and Castrol Syntec in the cars. Oil isn't all you need, a good filter is a must.

I won't tell you what to avoid, but instead will list my preferred filters.

Hastings is my favorite, especially the dual flow filter. Perfect combo to go well over 15K miles between changes on a car that gets driven a lot, like my mail route car.

Wix is more readily available, and less money. I trust them to at least 10K miles.

Fram, Bosch, and all the rest are still good filters that will work just fine with a 3K oil and filter change.

I use OEM filters on my IH1066, meaning Case-IH or at least Fleetguard. No aftermarket filters on it. DOUG
