Oil Questions
Has anyone ever used Amsoil in their Vette? How does it perform compared to
Mobile One? Does it last as long between changes or longer like their rep says? Rob 78 & 96 Coupes |

I seem to recall both negative and positive comments here in this newsgroup about Amsoil, try Google to read some history |

Any brand/type of oil you use will become contaminated in the same amount of time. The only way to remove the contaminates is to change the oil. 3. Change your oil, the more often, the better. Nothing replaces good maintenance. Period. 4. Your engine will run better and MUCH longer using the cheapest oil rated for your vehicle with regular changes than it will using ANY expensive oil and trying to leave it in there for extended periods. The whole point to an oil change is keeping the contaminants OUT. They cause wear. |

I used to be a Amsoil Distributor. After getting a Bilstien Engine Flush
at Pep Boys and seeing how dirty the engine was after religiously changing Amsoil oil every 3k. miles with Amsoil filter... i lost confidence in the product. And, i dont trust the charts either with the 4 ball wear test.. Ive switched to Mobil 1 10w30 which is readily available and much cheaper at places like Sams Club. I do think that Amsoil has a wonderful marketing strategy however. Dave |

I prefer Mobil-1 have been using it for many years in my cars, trucks and Harley with no oil related problems. my2¢ -- "Key" |
