Amsoil
My truck is due for an oil change and I'm thinking about switching to amsoil. Just looking for any advice or suggestions. How often would you recommend between changes? My truck has 111500 miles. Mostly just a daily driver.
Thank you.
Thank you.

i consider it a waste of money.
i am currently on a 7500 mile oil change interval, and considering going to a 10,000 mile interval.
the oil analysis for the 75000 is good, so i am going to see what it says at 10 k.
i use regular old valvoline all fleet 15-40

I use the 9000 and have had great oil analysis out to 7500... i dont haul all the time. I didnt go any further after 7500 since i think that is long enough.
I know some people who use synthetic and bypass setup have had good analysis as far out as 12k

I have an uncle that runs the 7.3's he has to 10k, with just 15w40 delo oil. He's never had a problem, never done an oil analysis either. I run rotella 15w40 and change every 3k. I work mine pretty hard, and I don't have the money he has either to replace/repair something if needed. Fresh oil is always better for the motor.
My opinion is screw the analysis unless there is a problem it may help diagnose. Run 15w40 up to no more than 5k, and synthetic up to 7500. Like I said, just my opinion of course.
