Well....how many miles will my engine last, period, using Amsoil? I'm happy if you can get within a range of +/- 10000 miles for Amsoil. Ah heck, please tell us all how long our engines will last with each type of oil in your analysis of comparison testing please. Thanks!!!
I read about a van going 930,000 miles on the same engine and tranny doing the 25,000 mile oil change thing. They tore down the engine and inspected it. It only had less than 1% wear from the factory specs in all that time. Not to forget, he had a ton of idle time during that whole time. If an oil is THAT GOOD to keep some delivery van going that long, I don't think I'd want to use anything else.

Not everybody beats on their cars. Most of my friends drive normal. I still hit 6,000+ RPM's on a regular basis and have no problems and no oil consumption and I'm saving money (which you all seem to complain about.)

I have just talked to too many people who have switched from all of the oils mentioned here to Amsoil and all of them never switched back.

The only people I see here complaining about Amsoil are the same people who have never even used it at all or for any length of time.

This oil saved me an engine rebuild in one of my previous cars, so I have to talk about it. If you don't want to use it, then don't. You're simply throwing away money on anything else. It's your money. Waste it how you want. My money comes hard, so I have to look for anything that will save me money. If my engine or tranny were to take a dump now, I'd be walkin'.
