amsoil
Hello, All
a couple of guys at work are talking about this Amseoil and talking how great it is. I said I never heard of it. They say it been around for years but you can't buy it stores. They said it is expensive but you have to change your oil as often. So what are your thoughts on this. Thanks Karl

Welcome to FTE. Many people have lived very happy lives and gotten very long service out of their vehicles without ever having heard of Amsoil.
I use the recommended Motorcraft oil in my Fords and it works wonderfully.

Im not "financially incentivized" to do so, but I sing its praises! I've never sold a liter of amsoil or any of its products in the 24 yrs I've been using it in a variety of vehicles I've owned having its products throughout the drive trains of most incl its oil filters. NOT ONE ISSUE OF ANY KIND! And I've never held a gun to anyone's head and forced them to use amsoil neither! Do the research and make your own conclusions. There are many oils out there that will do the job well, I chose this one. I certainly have never regretted it.

There are numerous Ford Truck owners on this forum with over a million miles on their original engines. None of them use Amsoil or hyped oil with purple food coloring in it, etc...
Modern SN rated motor oils are all very good and they work. Motorcraft syn blend oil in particular is excellent and I take my van to the dealer for my changes for my convenience so that's what I get. Use what you want.

Thx yogeorge, I hear you, I don't mind opinions, but your right, I've come across the amsoil vendors on other forums vw, gm, etc depending on vehicles I've owned, that could be very obnoxious, some are there and wait for you to come to them and won't bother you unless you needed their specific brand of products. Sorry, was not trying to start anything. Lol. I'm here to learn. ��

I think an important factor is changing the oil frequently to flush out the crud that gathers in the oil......plus oil viscosity breaks down over time.
I use Mobil 1 in my cars, trucks, boats etc.
Is Mobil 1 any better than Motorcraft or Amsoil....probably not....it is just what I use, and readily available at Walmart for a reasonable cost.
I have never had an oil related engine failure.....and I doubt that many here have had an oil related engine failure.
I change the oil when the oil life monitor says about 50% oil life left.
Very unlikelythat Amsoil is better than any regular oil that probably 99% of us use.
There is my 2 cents on the topic.

Congratulations on being one of the "very few" that I mentioned. However, the fact that you dug up this thread, which wasn't on the front page, kind of speaks to the attitudes that bother me.
I have no opinion on the quality of the Amsoil product, and I am happy you have seen no issues using it over the years. However, what I do question is the value it provides over one of the many available SAE certified products from local retailers.
