I am in no way an Amsoil dealer or rep but would suggest looking at their website and compare to anyother oil. As far as I know Amsoil is the only oil that warranties extended drain intervals of 15k for severe useage and 25k for normal driving and while the vehicle is under warranty or not. Mobil 1 suggests you follow the OEM's intervals while the vehicle is under warranty. This is from their site. For vehicles covered by a warranty, follow the vehicle's oil life sensor or the oil change interval recommended in your owner's manual. Follow your owner's manual if the vehicle is operated in any of the following severe services: racing or commercial applications including taxis, limousines, etc.; frequent towing or hauling; extremely dusty or dirty conditions; or under excessive idling conditions. If your vehicle has exceeded the duration of the manufacturer’s warranty, ExxonMobil warrants that the Mobil 1 Extended Performance lubricant you purchased will protect your vehicle’s critical engine parts from oil related failure for 15,000 miles or 1 year, which ever comes first. If not, provided the engine was serviceable at the time the oil was installed, Exxon Mobil will have your vehicle repaired and replace the oil at no cost to you. Amsoil will warranty and repair your engine IF the oil was at fault, even with the extended drain intervals. You can purchase Donaldson filters that are also warrantied for the 15k and 25k intervals. Valvoline doesn't recommend extended intervals either. So if you only change your oil every 15k as opposed to 3-5k then you will most likely see a savings. Oh, and with the warrantied engines you would have to wait until about 100k miles before extending you intervals if you run anything but Amsoil.

Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
