Here's a testimonial for ya <SPAN class=bold>Truckxpressions.</SPAN></P>


<SPAN class=bold></SPAN></P>


I use Amsoil in both of my trucks andI live in Mojave Desert of California where the summer temps average 103 to 110 degrees. Both trucks consistently run cooler and their mileage has improved anywhere from 1 to 2 mpg.I also have over 30 customers who use Amsoil oil and all rave about how well their vehicles run.I have yet to read or hear anything negative about how someones vehicles run after making the switch.</P>


Amsoil is a class IV synthetic meaning it is non petroleum based whereas Mobil 1 is a group III synthetic which means it is petroleum based. Amsoil is a genuine PAO synthetic.</P>


If i appear biased towards Amsoil, it is becauseI am. I use it and I sell it and Amsoil stands by their products. I am constantly amazed that my Dakota has almost 11,000 miles on it's oil and it still runs ,quiet, cooler and smoother than it did with Castrol GTX. It cost me roughly 70 dollars for enough oil and filters to last me 1 year or 25,000 miles.</P>


</P>


Try Amsoil once and you will be just as impressed as I am. Kale is a good guy and the oil he sells is first rate.</P>

Bill,</P>

thanks for the testimony. how does it look if you check it after say 5000 miles? from what it sounds like it would look the same, maybe a little dirty, but i am just curious

 

My oil is darkened but it is not jet black. ican still see the dipstick metal through the oil.</P>

Here is some info regarding oil color.</P>
<P align=left><FONT size=5>Oil Color, Lubrication Ability and Contamination Level</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants are designed and engineered for extended drain interval service. The color the AMSOIL on your dipstick (or ANY oil for that matter) has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the oil is suitable for continued use or if it should be drained and replaced. Use the recommended change intervals for both the oil and engine oil filters as specified by AMSOIL.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>It is a common misconception that an oil's color is an indication of how dirty it is. This is absolutely NOT TRUE. The color of an oil does not have any bearing on its lubrication ability. Most oil and especially diesel engine oil will turn black in the first few hours of operation due to contaminates generated by the combustion process and soot particles. The ONLY way to accurately determine an oil's lubricating value or contamination level is through (spectrographic) oil analysis. Oil analysis is common practice used regularly in commercial, industrial and fleet operations and can also be used for passenger cars, light trucks or any other application. In addition oil analysis will also determine the exact pars per million (ppm) of wear metals in your oil which provides an indication of any abnormal wear or specific components that need mechanical inspection in addition to checking for any fuel, water or glycol contamination. *At the end of this section you will find a listing of what oil analysis testing checks for.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>The useful life of an engine oil is dependent on several factors such as the quality of the oil, type of fuel, equipment condition, type and operating environment of the equipment and, most important, the type of filtration used. The filtration system and the oil are vital tools for preserving engine life. A highly efficient filter is essential to protect an engine by removing both liquid and abrasive contaminants held in suspension by a high quality premium oil such as AMSOIL. When using AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants for extended drain intervals the AMSOIL Super Duty Filter must be changed at 12,500 miles or 6 months for gas engines and 10,000 miles or 6 months for diesel engines, such as the Ford Powerstroke or Dodge Cummins.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>If the AMSOIL Dual-Gard or Dual-Remote By-Pass Filtration Systems are used then the AMSOIL Super Duty full flow engine oil filter must be changed at the same intervals as specified above and the by-pass filter(s) changed as indicated by oil analysis results. The oil does not need to be changed when using by-pass filtration unless oil analysis testing indicates it is necessary.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT size=3>It is not uncommon to get several hundred thousand or more miles on the AMSOIL when using by-pass filtration. A Mack Dealership recently performed a teardown inspection on a 1990 Mack E7-400 diesel engine with 630,000 miles total and 409,000 miles without an oil change and its parts were examined by an engine rater from a major oil additive raw materials manufacturer and supplier. The engine showed light to moderate wear throughout, just as an engine in similar service and lubricated with conventional oil changed at 15,000-20,000- mile intervals (as is common with over-the-road semi-trucks) would show. In fact, according to the engine rater the parts examined- cylinder liners, pistons, rings, bearings, valve train components- could have been put right back in the engine and would have continued to provide the good, dependable service they had provided all along- after 409,000 miles without an oil change!

i was trained by old school mechanics and if the oil was black then it was time for an oil change. now i have seen oil that has been in a car for a while that was thinner than new oil. dont know what to make of it but ive seen it. Ive been thinking of switching to synthetic for a while now but i just need to decide what kind. from what ive seen and read so far i am leaning towards amsoil

Bill is a big help, he is very informed when it comes to AMSOIL, He is the reason I became a dealer, you will not find a better product or a better network of support.

Thanks Bill

I understand completely. I was an "oil change every 3000 mile" guy for years. The first time I read about Amsoil and their extended oil change intervals, I thougt they were crazy. I read posts about Amsoil for 3 months before I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. I just wished I would have used it sooner.</P>


Four of my six dealers started out as preferred customers under me. They liked the oil so much that they decided to become dealers themselves and make some money in the process.</P>


Trust me, Amsoil really makes a difference.</P>

How much the the Dual Remote Bypass through Amsoil for my Truck?

~Amanda</P>

 

as soon as i get some money i can throw at it i will probably end up buying some.

 

Amanda I'll PM you the costs for the whole package.

I have a few questions and a comment.
First off any oil being pushed through multiple filters will last a whole lot longer. Please do not lead people to believe that they can go 25,000+ miles between oil changes, I did notice later in the postings that you mentioned that it was because of the multiple filters. Breakdown is a non-issue with synthetic oil no matter the brand. The damage comes from oil contaminates(metal particles, carbon, soot, etc.). As contaminates build up in the oil, reguardless of how many filters and how often they are changed, it has to be changed more frequently than that. Just because the particles may be a certain size(micron) or smaller, they are still there doing damage. Oil does not need to be changed every 3,000 miles, but it should not be put off for 25,000+ ever. My R/T had Amsoil in it when I bought it. I drove it for a while(2-3 months) then switch to Mobil 1, the same oil I use in my Shelby Z. When I switched it I noticed 0 drop in fuel mileage, 0 drop in power and 0 increase in operating temperature. A friend of mine has an '89 Mustang GT 5.0L with 350,000+ miles on the bolt-on modified, otherwise untouched and never opened up, original 5.0L 302 and swears by Mobil 1 synthetic because of it(he bought the car new and has only used Mobil 1). Any synthetic will yield these gains. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Amsoil is bad or not to buy it, I just don't like it when it is being raved like the second coming of Christ when it is no better, or not much better, than any other synthetic.

Questions:
If the Amsoil is ten fold better than everything out there, why isn't it in the stores(Autozone, Advanced, Meijers, etc.)?
Why doesn't NASA use it?
Why doesn't NASCAR use it?
How much does it cost?

I have nothing against Amsoil and have never had a problem with it, I just didn't find it to be any better than the Mobil 1 that I currently use.<edited><editID>71ROADRUNNER</editID><editDate>37960.0433449074</editDate></edited>
