c'mon, lets grow up a bit. show me real proof that amsoil "sucks" or just drop it.
and i kinda tired of being called a brainwashed moron for my choice in oils. i feel that amsoil will provide me with a longer lasting engine, it has already proven itself in the mpg arena. i am now getting 2-3 better than w/ the 15w40 that i drained out.
this forum is for FACTS, not the opinions of a few on the satanic reminiscence of a oil producer.....

Right back at you, where did anyone say "their not certified oils so ur engine WILL blow up on contact with them"? Facts only, please.

Interestingly enough, I went back and carefully read the Owners Manual Diesel Supplement on "Engine Oil Specifications" It does not mandate that you "must" use API certified oil. It is carefully worded. There are "recommendations" and "it is recommended". Go read it slowly and carefully for yourself. Think about the meaning of each word and phrase. That is what lawyers do. I am sure this manual was carefully scrutinized by lawyers. Something to consider.

Another point, Royal Purple (who is also a sponsor of FTE),
a competitor of Scamsoil, AND NOT A MLM company, has ALL OF it's products API CERTIFIED
Check this out:

Now, compare Royal Purple's API certifications to Scamsoil's:

I am the one who originally started this thread and am now even more confused about which oil to use. How about I ask it this way so people don't get into an argument, can you guys list what you think is the best oil to use in the PSD including non synthetic. List it from best to worst according to your experience only and not a manufactures advertising.

ok, i do use "synthetic A" in my truck.
i will not ever just change the filter. i think thats pushin it. unless the new filter has an additive package in it that will add life to the oil. i have seen these, but i still wont do that.
i am pulling a sample out this very afternoon
the oil is at 4000mi, and i am very curious to see the results.( i am doubting the marketing strategy of the company will effect the results from blackstone
)this is my first run of "A" in my truck, so i have no real idea of how it'll look.
john, "A" does "meet" the API requirements. it may not have their cert but i am certain they would get itif "A" was so inclined to foot the bill....
im not tryin to stir the beans, just that i dont think a syn oil would have much trouble gettin a cert that a dino oil can pass.....and my earlier posts of "amsoil sucks" lore, were just my poor way of makin the point that the naysayers have proven nothing bad about "A" to be makin such poor judgements about it. if its the marketing that they are mad about, then why are they beating the heck out of a perfectly good jug of oil?????

what do all of u use???i use amsoil HDD 5W-30 synthetic in my 550.
3mpg increase in mileage, better throttle response, smoke at start-up eliminated, oil press is now steady after warm-up(used to drop a bit at idle), greatly lessened the rear main leak(actually it may have gotten rid of it as it doesnt hang the drip in the morn anymore)
it cost me 110 bucks including shipping to my door.

I've only used Rotella T in my diesels as I change the oil too often to make a fully syn pay off. Oh, I did use one case of Amsoil in my duramax before I found out about the non-API cert/warranty issues. I did let that go to 5000 (normal is 3000 for me) and it started to have a rough idle towards the end. It stopped as soon as I put Rotella back in. There was NO increase in mileage or performance.

I change every 5000 miles, sometimes stretch it to 6000 miles, so I use Delo 400. I have used synthetics in other vehicles and the worked great, but since I don't plan to extend the intervals on my 6.0, I can't justify the extra cost for synthetics. My truck has run on Delo for 29,000 of it's 34,000 miles and works wonderfully. I know absolutely nothing about Amsoil. The only synthetic i've used was Mobil 1 in my vette.

Unless you have installed another oil pressure sending unit / gauge, your oil pressure shouldn't change, because it is an idiot light type of gauge.....once the pressure reaches about 7PSI, the sending unit switch closes, causing the gauge to read half-scale......

You have a serious anger problem Bob. I really think you should get help before you hurt someone.

Ok, GENTLEmen.....
There should NEVER be a reason to go that far with it....
after all, it's just Oil, a personal choice just like boxers or briefs or none !!!
and the vile arguments actually turn off credibility for ALL involved....
let's tone it down.... please !?!
Or are the air filter and oil discussions going to have to go the way of religious and political and boxer or brief discussions ???
I'd hate for the few to impact the many
