Thumbs up AMSOIL Experience

I've been running my 5.0 for 13 years now on either Castrol Syntec or Mobil 1 synthetics. Here in Canada these cost about 9-10 dollars per quart.

Yesterday I decided to try AMSOIL for 14 dollars per quart. I had no expectations and thought it was probably more of a gimmick than anything else.

However, I must honestly say that I noticed a marked and genuine power increase at all operating ranges. It feels like someone lightened my car. I know how this vehicle normally runs, but a little throttle goes a longer way with this new oil.

I'm impressed and it was worth the money to me. I was already running some pretty high end oils and would never have believed what a difference using this product could make.

No I'm not some jackass who spent too much for oil and is now trying to justify it by falsely convincing myself and others that the car has more power...

And, no, I'm not a paid stooge for AMSOIL...

Does anyone out there have AMSOIL experiences they can share, good or bad?

I used to use it when my granpa was alive he worked for them so I would get it for free. Now I use Mobil 1 or Royal Purple.
