    In 2002, I purchased a GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 liter 2 wheel drive extended cab.I change the engine oil, rear differential oil at 500 miles. I had the trans drained and the coolant replaced at 42,000. All replaced with Amsoil products. I still have that vehicle. It currently has 234,846 miles on it. At 100,000 miles, I had a tech perform a compression test, he stated that all eight cylinders had "like new" compression. . Last year, I had that same test performed. The tech stated that all eight cylinders had very good compression readings. I've had several people take a test drive with me, allowing them to drive the truck. All are always amazed at to how well the truck runs and performs. I change the oil & (Ea) filter once per year. I have never seen anytime where the oil level required me to add any oil between changes. I still have the original window sticker in my file cabinet. To this very day, I continue to experience fuel economy numbers or 22.5 miles p/gal highway and around 16 city. Before I had that truck I had a 1994 GMC with the 4.3 V6. My wife and I put 267,000 plus miles on that thing and the only major fix was a trans converter and a few suspension parts. I use Amsoil in EVERYTHING! Lawn mowers, tillers, generators, garden tractors, chain saws, line trimmers. The list goes on and on. All you can say what you want about Amsoil. It has protected all my equipment for many many years. I am staying with what has proven to be the right shit to use.

    I drive a 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 I have used Mobil 1 0W-40 per manufacturer recommendation. I switched to Amsoil 0-40 signature for the last 2 oil changes, last 6500 miles. The Viper V10 does not allow for extended service intervals. My average oil temp has dropped 10-15 degrees F and my coolant temp is down 10 degrees. Oil still looked nice when I changed it as well. Performance is the goal of my entire vehicle and Amsoil is delivering. I am a happy customer, just figured I would share.

      I had similar results after my friend recommended to put Amsoil 10W-40 Motorcycle oil in my 2006 Vulcan Nomad, V-Twin 1600 motorcycle. I could not believe the difference Amsoil made. The engine ran noticeably cooler and MUCH quieter. Gears shifted better and the wet clutch felt great. I would have never believed that a simple oil change could make such a difference. Currently I use Amsoil products in all of my vehicles, motorcycles and even in my lawnmower and my Honda generator.
      Amsoil gear oil seems to perform better as well. I have always noticed some wear particles on the drain plug magnet in my truck's rear differential. After switching to Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90, there were very few wear particles on the magnet, definitely less than with Mobil1 gear oil.
      As mentioned above, I have put Amsoil Small Engine 10W-30 oil in my Honda EU2000i generator. The generator runs noticeably smoother and quieter.
      Amsoil filters are definitely build to high quality standards. My new 4Runner requires a cartridge type oil filter. Unlike filters made by the major competitors, Amsoil filters are built on a metal frame with quality o-ring seals on each end. It does not take a rocket scientist to pick the Amsoil filter as a superior product.
      BTW, I'm not affiliated with Amsoil in any way. I'm just a happy customer. Phoenix Synthetic Lubricants, you are welcome to use my comments as you please or to forward my comments to Amsoil.

    This is spot on. I remember a long time ago I was working on my Datsun 280z (yeah, they were Datsun way back then) and this guy stopped by and asked me if I would like to give Amsoil a try. Sure, why not and I never looked back. He told me to give it a try and if I liked it he would sell me some. The first round was free. Amsoil is so good they let their product speak for it's self. I saw better gas mileage and the engine just felt smoother. I was seeing no measureable wear and reached 290K miles on my 280Z and I wasn't kind to it, getting that many miles on a hard run car ........
    And Amsoil is the only Synthetic that has data sheets proving it's better than other brands. No other MFG feels free to give out as much info about their product. It's very rare for anyone using Amsoil to fall back and use another brand once they try it. Their product sell's it's self You don't need tacky sales like putting this oil on the Oil filler cap ...

      In some cases yes that works. But heat plus shearing under load can vastly accelerate mineral oil breakdown. Category 4 synthetics, true 100% synthetics are largely unaffected by such heat. Today in our traffic and hotter climate plus engines designed to run hotter and burn cleaner mineral based oils and their additives break down much faster than in the 70's or early 80's. The environment they run within has changed a lot.

The guys at Blackstone told me that wear was indicative of an engine that had 5,800 miles of wear. The last time I had 23,500 miles on it and had it analyzed, again using Amsoil Signature Series Full Synthetic with similar lab results. The guys at Blackstone said to try 25,000 miles this time. I do have to change the filter at around 15,000 miles because it will only last that long, while the oil lasts 25,000 miles. GREAT STUFF!!!

    I will start by saying awesome presentation.....well organized ,well edited and absolutley on point.
    Some very important points to highlight and make are;
    * There is little money in selling Amsoil yourself, some 30 to 35% can be gained.
    * Conversely in in many cases lubrication wholesalers/retailers and quick lube shops make some 200% plus on the lubrication products sold
    * It is more expensive than most "leading brands" up front.
    * Amsoil is mainly purchased by people in the know. Selling Amsoil in many cases, requires employee education point of purchase customer educating, as well as selling techniques and processes.
    * Most the general public doesn't give 2 hoots about listening to scientific foundational information, as well as testing and resulting emperical data. So its the sellers job to help it make since and illustrate the value of running Amsoil in terms the customer can and wants to understand.
    * The only reason a shop sells Amsoil is because it is the best,and it is not cost based. Amsoil represnts the shop very well......Using and selling Amsoil illustrates the shop owners and their employees knowlege of the lubrication industry.....The shop and their employees have the inside track and are "in the know"! Obviously if the shop knows what's up with this, it must be representative of the rest of the business they do, it is good for the reputation..
    * All who value their equipment should use Amsoil! Duh!

The salesman told me to go with Motorcraft conventional definitely for the first and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do it for the 2nd oil change. This was so the rings were able to seal properly.

    The best ratio of coolant to distilled water to give you the best protection against boil over and freezing is a mixture of 60/40 % coolant to distilled water. Any higher or lower mixture rate will not protect you any better than the 60/40 ratio. Don't forget to check your radiator cap since your radiator uses a pressurized system and requires a cap providing the proper pressurization. Please remember that your radiator coolant only does part of the cooling of the engine. A good part of the engine cooling is also performed by the engine oil.

They explained that Amsoil doesn't have very good surface tension so if you knock a hole in your oil pan and all your oil drains out mobile one will buy you an extra 30 to 45 seconds of film on the inside of your engine before it seizes up.

    You know what is a excellent, reasonably priced ( occasionally on sale ) and readily available oil that well exceeds the minimum requirements. Pennzoil ultra platinum. Even looking at the same tests. It scores well on all tests. And the difference in the results between the top scores are minimal. I do not and will not extend my drain interval beyond the oem recommended change, no matter what oil or how much farther it is capable of performing. So for me, and I do believe amsoil is a great product, but factor everything in, pennzoil is probably a better choice when you consider value for dollar.

      Phoenix Synthetic Lubricants LLC First, the word is not criterium, it is criterion or the plural criteria.
      Amsoil appears to be the best oil in independent testing. But here is the problem, Amsoil is difficult to find, at least in the Northeast. I cannot find it in any local stores. Even when I search to purchase online, it is extremely hard to find. Amazon says it is out of stock. When I do find it, the price is $55 for five quarts of 0W20. In your own test results, you show that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is consistently close in individual test results compared to Amsoil. Ironically, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is difficult to find locally but it's price at Amazon is $43 per five quarts when purchased in 3 5-quart containers. I buy it for my car where my goal is to put in a top quality oil at a reasonable price.
      Recommendation:
      Stop marketing Amsoil as an elitist product and get it in local stores. Bring the price down to be more competitive. The Amsoil price is twice that of Mobil 1 Synthetic Extended Performance at the local Walmart. For the average daily driver, the Mobil 1 is a high quality oil at the manufacturer's recommended change intervals.

    Very interesting. I knew Amsoil is the best over 25 years ago. I had a 1988 Mustang LX with a 5.0L engine. One morning the oil pump seized. I ended up driving the car for 35 km ( 21.75 miles ), with no noticeable damage afterwards. Mind you I wasn't running the engine much above 2000 rpm. Is there another oil out there that you can do this with without destroying the engine?

    I have no doubt that Amsoil is a good product and testing by Project Farm confirms that is the case. However, Project Farm testing is a long way off from ILSAC testing. Mobile 1 extended life and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum both holds current American Petroleum Institute (API) and International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) GF-6A licenses. Amsoil makes the GF-5 level, but has not participated in the advanced testing for GF-6A licenses. Amsoil keeps referring to tests done a decade ago (2013) as proof of their superiority but refuse to meet new standards witch tests that are far tougher than those required to make GF -5 levels. The reality is that many oils have now surpassed Amsoil in overall performance as Mobile 1 extended life and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has proved by passing GF-6A testing. When Amsoil decides to put themselves to this test I'll take another look.

    Minute differences in the high end performance mean exactly zip. Pay half the price for another oil as long as it has the same rating and change it more often than the Amsoils of the world and you're better off all around. More frequent oil changes mean better lubrication and removal of sludge. Who wants dirty oil running in an engine for 25,000 miles just because the manufacturer says it can go 25,000 miles before it breaks down. That's just dumb.

    Awesome! I have recently started using amsoil after a long break. I have always maintained my vehicles meticulously and done the required fluid and component changes on schedule or before. I've also try to use only the highest quality oil and parts. I've always use synthetic oil and transmission fluid, but what I thought was the highest quality wasn't really. Amsoil oil is and has always been the best. They put all of their information out for everyone to see unlike other companies. As you stated, it's not really surprising why. you're testing as well as other videos on here proof what is already known. Some people get bent out of shape if you tell them something is better than what they are using. I used to use mobil one exclusively, but they are not what they used to be. I have used many different synthetic brands from auto parts store s. In most situations as long as you change your oil every three to five thousand miles it might not make a difference, at least not right away. If however, you are running under extreme conditions, have longer drain intervals and want to maximize the longevity of your vehicle, amsoil is hands-down the best product to put in there.

    I would certainly use Amsoil motor oil if it weren't so expensive. I agree, "You don't have to wonder why"... LOL
    But I will tell you why: Most consumers are budget-conscious and price is usually a major factor in the decision-making process. The cheapest Amsoil motor oil spec'd for my vehicles -- the "OE" line -- is $7.75 per quart. I can get Mobil 1 for under $3 per quart after rebate. Most recently, I purchased Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for $1.40 per quart after rebate. Yes that's right, PUP for one dollar and forty cents per quart. These Mobil and Pennzoil rebates happen several times annually. This means, so far, I can rely on this very inexpensive source of quality motor oil that meets all specifications and requirements for my vehicle. These oils may not be quite as robust as Amsoil. But I drive about 10,000 miles per year, and at a reasonable oil/filter service interval of 8.000 miles, I see no reason to use Amsoil motor oil, and absolutely not at 2.5 times (250%!!) of the price of Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platinum. No thank you.
    Amsoil, bring down your motor oil prices so we can have a relationship.

Do you really want dirty oil in your engine for 25,000 miles to save a couple of bucks? Any brand that meets the SN standards no matter what the price is fine. Pay half the price of Amsoil and change it every 7500 miles and you get better lubrication and removal of sludge.

      Add on their bypass filter system then you only change when the lab report says to.
      100,000 miles is nothing when using their system.
      Tested at 1 year or 25k mile interval is how you do it.
      My fleet accounts saw well 500,000 miles with only oil analysis and filter changes at 25k mile intervals.

      Ask yourself why, if the product is so amazing, is it not generally available at popular retailers? I do agree that the lubrication products from the major companies, like Mobil, Castrol etc, are not as good as they are claimed to be, and in many cases are much inferior to some of the smaller independants, but Amsoil is mostly marketing hype. Check out a web site called Bob Is The Oil Guy, or BITOG, for actual facts and user experience. Also check out Lubrizol, the industry reference for information. Any engine oil that can be proven to meet the prevailing API standard, currently SN, will be more than adequate for the vast majority of applications. You would be surprised to find that many highly vaunted oil brands do not meet the latest SN standard, and are still been produced to SL or even older!! Personally I use Redline, Penrite and Motul. Never had a problem with any of those in 2 and 4 wheel applications, from road to race.

    Back in the 1960’s our unit in the Army was selected as part of a test to use Amsoil Synthetec for one year and use the previous year as the base line. After one year our repairs were down, use of gasoline and diesel was less. About 6 weeks after the test ended we we instructed to use up all convention lubricants as they would be replaced with synthetics. The Army’s reason given to us was it lessens the dependence on foreign oil and longer service intervals and reliability! The cost we were told was about 10 times the cost of petroleum based lubricants. They proved it really was a fiscally sound reason to change over as the vehicles required less to maintain and the life expectancy was extended as well as readiness was increased. Yes, it was Amsoil in a different packaging! Basically Amsoil has been around for some time! It’s not a “Johnny come lately” to synthetic oils! It’s still expensive, but I may be wrong it sure works for me!

Ive changed oil numerous times and wouldn't mind testing amsoil but it is much harder to find. Not saying anything about it, but for now, I'm with mobil 1.

      Careful of that, to make Amsoil more available at stores like that, it's typically their cheap version and won't do much better than the compared oils. It's much cheaper and it is made with a cheaper base stock, which is why it's so "cheap".

    • @Marco-fi6gv
      @Marco-fi6gv 5 років тому +2

      You're not really saving money because with the amsoil you can extend the service interval. You are doing less changes so the price comes down for the Amsoil. If you become a preferred buyer on their website you can get 25% off , lowering the price even more. Pennzoil and all of those other well-known synthetics are already going to run you close to 10 bucks a quart anyway. Are you really saving money?anyway saving a negligible amount on an oil change doesn't make a difference to me, I want the best for my vehicles. I guess it's a difference in philosophy. I'm planning on keeping my vehicles and I want to maximize their longevity, so I will buy the best product available.

    Question for anyone that can answer.
    Ive been using Royal purple for awhile and its treated me well. The thing is, ive read that Amsoil is superior to RP and I'm always willing to try something better.
    The thing that concerns me is that ive noticed with RP when I go to start my vehicle in the morning, the oil gauge shoots up to operating pressure super fast which is awesome.
    Can anuone attest to Amsoil being able to do this? Ive heard cold starts are rough on engines and the RP seems to negate that significantly.

      Amsoil has a list of stocking distributors listed on its web site.
      So, if you want to drive down to a Local distributor, pick up a quart or two in person ... its not that difficult.
      Once I found a local shop (NAPA - shops sell Amsoil and most stock all levels of WIX filters too) I just call them up, see if they have the version (Signature) I want, have enough on hand -then tell them I'll do a "will call". Never have any problems. If they are out - they will usually have them in by the next day... or send me to pick them up from another near by dealer.
      I guess I could get on the distributor list myself - have a side business for my local car nut friends... except, I don't really try to talk people into using Amsoil... I figure, if they know what they want, great - but I really don't like wasting time talking round and round in circles for those who want to be convinced.
      It is what it is... It took me several years to convince myself that it was worth the price. No matter how many people told me about it, I still didn't budge - until I got a car, with an engine worth keeping...since then - I've been a believer.

      Not to take away anything from any product, (I am not an engineer) but keep in mind, there is a big difference between full synthetic and 100% synthetic oils of "any brand".
      Amsoil has an open invitation
      to any and all oil manufacturers for
      independent comparison tests.
      "NO OIL rates the highest in 100% of all tests across the board, bar none."
      However it is generally undisputed that 100% synthetics (of which there are few) consistently rate highest in most tests. Indepth independent test by different labs and testers can be found all over the internet to verify this as fact. The chemical composition of synthetics molecular makeup allows for better oiling and more concise mating of mechanical parts, therby reducing wear. Whatever the oil, whatever your choice, keep it clean!

And today, it's commonplace for diesel motors to exceed 1 million miles using conventional oils produced by Shell, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, ExxonMobil, etc.
    I've seen the top ends of several Detroit DD15 motors, ran on Delvac Super 1300 conventional oil, at 50,000 mile OCIs, all have been spotless. All of the motors I looked at had over 750,000 miles on the truck's odometers.

    The best oil is the name brand that's on sale. The rest is hype.

      Rejecting empirical science. The typical emotional statement from an uninformed cheap skate. Meaningless.

      I won't live long enough or know that my car will to use expensive oil that will last 2million miles when all I need is less than 500,000 if at that.

      Just get an oil with the same SAE rating like SN and change it every 7500 to 10,000 miles rather than 25,000 miles. It's not smart to run dirty oil in an engine for 25,000 miles. Plus, that 25,000 mile hype doesn't take into account the difference between highway miles and city miles. You can't wait 25,000 miles if you mainly drive in the city.

    Project Farm on UA-cam tested a lot of different oil brands and his conclusion was that Amsoil was the best.

      That's what got me to switch. Todd is a good dude and a straight shooter. Any time I've bought a product based on his recommendations it hasn't let me down yet. If it's PF approved, I'll buy it.

      It may - or may not - be better than, let's say Mobil 1, but 2-3 times price difference does not justify [potentially] marginal improvement. From my - VERY extensive professional as well as personal - experience, a well-made (ford, etc. do not need to worry) engine lasts virtually indefinitely even with regular (non-synthetic) oil.

    Have you made comparisons to Klotz products? Techniplate, R50 for premix & MX4 for transmissions.
