  I am an Amsoil lover but what people don’t understand is the importance of not following mfgr suggested intervals. No matter what oil you choose they are all cheaper than repairs

  Ok, so here&apos;s my take on this debate. I had a 04 Ford F150 with the 5.4 V8, it had a noisy valve train from day one. I was using Mobil1 and changed to Amsoil just see if there was a difference and there was, no more noise, just the clicking of the injectors and nothing else after about a month of driving. I also have a &apos;12 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 Hemi that is notorious for the &quot;Hemi tick&quot; problem, at 120k miles on Amsoil, mine is as quiet as a church mouse. Finally I have a &apos;01 Toyota Camry V6 that I inherited from my Dad when he passed in &apos;13. He always had it serviced at Toyota using Toyota brand oil. When I first got the car the valve covers were leaking so I did the gaskets and the top of the heads and valve covers were caramel colored with a small amount of sludge in the corners by the oil return passages. I switched it to Amsoil at that time and after about a year and a half (3 oil changes later) I got to do the job again due to crappy aftermarket gaskets. When I took the valve covers off again the engine was spotless with no varnish at all.<br> I believe in Amsoil&apos;s claims, no doubt whatsoever. I change my oil at 6k miles or 6 months whichever comes first, I know that this is overkill to a lot of people but I keep my cars (except the Ford) for at least 10 years and believe in using high quality oil and filters to keep them running for the long haul.

  Looking at the test results, the Amsoil had a TBN of 4.9 and the Mobil 1 had a TBN of 3.7. That is an indication of the quality and quantity of the additive package used in each oil. When I look at the test results of the oil I used after 5K, 7.5K and 10K changes, I&apos;ve always found the Amsoil numbers were still good enough to continue using the oil even longer. That also being stated by the testing lab. &nbsp;Good video. Thanks.

  I retired from ExxonMobil after 35 years working at one of the refineries. I’ve used Mobil 1 since the mid 80’s in all my vehicles. Never had an oil related issue with any. It’s proven well for me. Average driving towing boats and lowboy trailers sometimes. My two cents! &nbsp;Good Video. Thanks for sharing

  I did this exact same test in my 2021 Tundra a couple of years ago but went to 10,000 miles. The Amsoil Signature Series OW-20 was still in fantastic shape, and Blackstone was saying I could actually go 13,000-14,000 on my next oil change. Concerning the Mobil 1 OW-20 at 10,000 miles, Blackstone told me to pull it back and change it at 7,000-8,000 miles since the weight had changed, it had gotten thicker, and the additives were gone by 10,000 miles.<br><br>Since then I have ran Amsoil in my entire family fleet, and even use it in all my lawn equipment, my ATV&apos;s and tell everybody they should do the same. Amsoil is absolutely what they claim it to be. Also, if you sign up for a membership and at the amount of products I buy it is practically the same cost as buying Mobil 1 at Wal-mart.

  Here is how I see it. Do you want the best of the best for your engine? Just buy Amsoil. However, if you are regularly replacing your oil (say every 5,000 miles) you are fine using Mobile1.

  350,000 miles on my 02 Saab. Original turbo. Oil changed every 5000. <br>Mobil 1 FS High mileage. Barely an oil<br>Leak. No engine issues. <br>22 years of service before I traded it. Miss that car.

  I think you made a great video. It’s worth noting that you can work with a dealer to get set up with a preferred customer account to pay a fair bit less for the AMSOIL to begin with. The second thing worth noting is the money savings you would experience by extending your intervals with theAMSOIL. The AMSOIL Signature Series is good for 25,000 miles or even in severe duty situations, 15,000 miles. That is where the real value comes in. There are also benefits to running the AMSOIL filter which filters down to 20 µm at 99% efficiency. I appreciate the consistent oil sampling you have performed along the way. I do like a real world test.

  My 07 Honda pilot is currently at 160k + miles, runs smooth. I use Amsoil signature series &amp; High mileage every 8000 miles. Also using Amsoil signature for the transmission and transfer case. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DNCH_4PUGI&amp;t=527">8:47</a> <br><br>Years ago I stopped using Mobile 1 because my Honda pilot was burning about 1 quart of oil every 4000 miles. &nbsp;No more oil burning issues with amsoil every 8000 miles. <br><br>I also had good experience with Castrol edge and Pennzoil ultra platinum. But in my case Amsoil has been the best for my 2007 3.5 V6 Honda pilot.

  Good morning whatyaknowjoe67. Good video ! I have been using Mobil 1 in my GM 5.7 liter. No issues. I change my oil regularly. This past oil change I changed it at a little over 4,000 miles. Using 5W-30 Dexos cert. I haven&apos;t had any issues. Thanks for doing these videos and keep them coming. Take care and be well my friend. 😎☕☕
