Switched to Amsoil in 1989 never to return to regular oil. Use it in everything. In road vehicles I change once every 12 months and one filter change at six months and top off after the filter change. Have driven this year a 90 Dodge Caravan 18,200 miles on this oil change. This van has 213,000 miles on it now. It's had one oil change per year since 1992 and had 56,000 on it when I bought it used. 2610 Long tractor and the new Farmtrac 80 I use 15w-40 Heavy duty marine syn oil in both. Change oil in those once every 12 months. I ran the Farmtrac 50 hours on what came in it and switched over at 50 hours. I use the Amsoil grease, gear oils and auto tranny fluids too. Also have switched both tractors over to the syn. Hy-trans. It saves me money and has cured some problems. I've had nothing but success with it. I became a dealer so I could order my own when I need it. I've never sold retail. Just for my own use.
