instead of reading their fluff find out the specs
amsoil 75-90 severe gear, rated up to 100,000 miles

btw mob1 flash point is 175 C vs 220 C quite a big diff for your diff.

Hey RamitOne, i'll be honest with you i saw the same chart on Mobil 1's website, and didn't post it, because to be honest with you again, i don't know what none of that $!%T stands for........I just know i like Mobil 1's synthetic oil...

be carefull what filter you use, a lot of filters are still designed for low mileage intervals. I use amsoil 25k mile oil and replace every 7500.

The oil isn't the issue, it's the filter. I have just tried Royal Purple in the Jeep and with a good filter (I only use Mobil 1 or a Wix - but have read good things about the K&N, and I like the nut on the top, so I may try one next) and I'll extend my normal 3k change to 6k, which is the longest I'll trust ANY oil filter for...
