Default anybody ever heard of Amsoil......

its a brand of motor oil that my co-worker helps distribute. he swears by this ----. he says its just like any major full synthetic but u only have to change it every 25000 miles. normally i would throw the bs flag but i saw the bottle and hes been using it on his KBed expedition for a few years and thats something that needs good oil.

heard of it, but don't use it. even if it were to be "okay" for 25k miles, I wouldn't let it run that long. I have a hard time letting my car run 5k miles without an oil change using synthetic and being recommended to change the oil every 5-7.5k miles. I'm used to changing it every 3k.

amsoil came out when i was a kid, my moms used to sell it. should only be used in NEW cars. But it is best used in heavy equipment

Why would they use synthetic in new cars? I thought that would not break them in properly ?

amsoil is the best oil bottom line. amsoil made all of the synthetics for polaris/victory. they invented synthetic oil. its expensive though.
