Try doing a search on Amsoil in this forum. Then sit back for many hours of entertaining reading. Also look for a poster called FLASH. He has some interesting analysis on oils including Amsoil. Save your money.

Some have a fear of anything that came from the original pyramid company - Amway 
others use it and like it....
Ford has not voided warranty because of it... but I am shy of it because of the few numbers using it...
too many other good oils out there for our beast....

Has anybody actually had a bad experience or poor performance from the current diesel 15/40 Amsoil? Just curious because I have been running Amsoil in my motorcycles for years with excellent performance so far.

Gees Tim...no political stuff...no oil war resurection? 
No wonder the PSD 6.0 vs V-10 thread has lasted so long.
And no wonder kids run the streets these days...with no place to go.

I have used Amsoil in the tranny and the engine of my last two 7.3's and now I have a new 6.0 (1500 miles) and am not sure what to use. I have no affiliation what so ever with Amsoil. I was extremely pleased particularly with the very cold winters and how it related to starting and drivability. I do not know how ever how it affected the mechanics of the tranny and engine. Neither were ever serviced up to 100,000 when I got rid of them. The only reason I am considering using something else is cause of what I have read on this sight and how it relates to the 6.0.
For what its worth I love this site. I find my self reading it daily... I generally don't have much to contribute though.

Tim,
I have no connection with Amosoil products. I was at the western washington state fair last weekend and they had a booth set up. Another fellow army maintenance warrant officer was with me and interested in using it in his wife's chevy so I inquired about it's use in the 6.0 PSD.. I thought I would ask around and see if people are using it and with what kind of luck to see if it's worth the money. I will be joining my buddies in the middle east and need the truck squared away for my wife to drive and maintain while I spend my year in the sand box.

i currently have amsoil 5w30 in my 550. it works well so far and it has 11,000mi on it. 1 filter change.
i am going to try the delvac 1 in a few thousand miles, because the tbn has dropped faster than i would like to see in a synthetic. other than that it is great and i have gotten almost 2 mpg better since switching from rotella 15w40.(probably because its about the thickness of a cup of cofee )
the atf will have to be mercon SP. u have no other choice.
the amsoil is a good oil, regardles of the tactics of the sellers....... but it is not api certified, so u make the call
