Default AMSOIL IS AWESOME

I'VE BEEN TRYING DIFFERENT OIL IN MY RIDE RECENTLY TRYIN TO FIND ONE THAT PLEASED IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND AMSOIL. I BOUGHT IT AT MURRAYS. I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE ONLY OIL THAT I HAVE NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE AND IT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERY ONE TRY IT OUT. CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE WWW.AMSOIL.COM IT HAS COMPARISON TESTS TO OTHER TOP OILS AND THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. IT LASTS SO LONG TOO, IF YOU USE THEIR OIL AND OIL FILTER TOGETHER YOU ONLY HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR OIL A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR.

but seriously though the stuff totally rejuvinated my car. it runs way better and the compression is higher and its really crazy i never thought that you could really feel a difference from oil i was just gonna settle for royal purple or mobile 1 or something but this stuff is waaay better

wow oil that raise compression..what a miricle*L*...to be straight here and not bust your bubble....the oil will give you about 1-2% more hp's..I use the stuff for about 15 years now....the filters are one of the best..you can save yourself a buck or 2 and buy a hastings filter they make'em for amsoil.....what ever you do I would still change my oil ever 5k or so not 25k like they say....coarse if you change the filter (every5k)you would save some $$$ but the next guy who buys your car might not be so happy

Default RE: AMSOIL IS AWESOME

it doesnt seem like it gave me a whole bunch horspower or anything but it runs much more smoothly espescially when i downshift and my oil pressure has steadied quite a bit from where it was before. over all i'm more than pleased with the oil and i have been changing my oil every couple thousand miles lately because when i check it it is really dark and the car wasnt running all to great. i've tried many oils including royal purple, mobile one red line, all synthetic but havent gotten the results i wanted from a "6 dollar a quart oil", this time i had to use a k&n performance oil filter because i have to order the amsoil one but when i go to chng it again i'm going to order one for sure. i really wouldnt trust the oil for 25,000 miles but thats what they claim on the bottle

no..k/n is a real good filter and with the nut at the end make changing the filter a snap..

88...you want your oil to get dirty....when you drive for a 1000 miles and it's still clean I would worry because the oil is supoose to clean as it protects....just don't buy a cheap oil filter or the $$$ you used on the oil will be for nothing

I agree with vfast about the dirty oil, it's supposed to be that way! the detergents in the oil are designed to keep contaminants in suspension so that they can be removed by the filter if possible, so don't change the oil just because it has some dark color to it. my racing friend has used Amsoil for years now and he changes it every 10,000 mile but he does change the filter only at 5,000 miles. you have to remember that a plugged up filter doesn't filter the oil at all, it just bypasses it and you don't have a clue as to when this is happening either. the filter is also bypassed when the oil is super cold and real thick too, so don't go driving off right after you start the car in real cold weather either. let the oil warm up some so it gets filtered.
