Amsoil makes different types of oil. I'm a dealer and have been one since 1989. I am a dealer so I can get dealer prices on what I, my family and some friends use.I don't make profit off sales. For cars and trucks that are gas engines we all use AMSOIL Signature Series 100% Synthetic Motor Oil. This oil is designed for long drains. Up to 25,000 miles per year on an oil change. This includes oil filter change at 6 months or 12,500 miles, which ever comes first and top off to full. If you don't drive 13,000 miles per year then there's little savings in this oil. Most folks are afraid to run long drain periods. I was too until I had samples analyzed to prove the oil was still good.
I got a nissan frontier with 201,300+ miles on it since 2001. That's no big deal for miles. But I put those miles on with 13 oil changes. Truck runs great and expect many more miles out of it. So if you're not afraid to do extended drains it can save money over the 3,000 mile oil change that has been burned in to everyones head. And I'm not knocking that 3000 mile oil change. Use what ever you want. That's what I do. I did the math and test.
I used Amsoil diesel marine oil in the diesel engines. In the middle of oil samples on this unit right now. Last sample was at 300 hours. Came back great. TBN was still 8.5. Report said go another 100 hours. I fully expect to get 500 hours on this oil change. I did change the filter at 250. I have all the figures from the samples that I can post but only will if questioned. Don't want to bore anyone with numbers.
All oils are better today that even 15 years ago. I just try to cut down on cost, usage and be safe about it. And cut back on the money I give to arabs for oil. It's worked great so far.
Everything we do today is a sience. If you don't study what you do then you leave a lot of information out there untouched. Some can save money, time and piece of mind.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
