Default anyone use AMSOIL?

i was talkin to a very knowledgeable car guy i know & he swears by the stuff

& i think i'm gonna use Amsoil 20-50 for the engine, & eventually get the amsoil aftermarket oil filtration system

then use the amsoil tranny fluid.

has anyone used it, or have any comments? supposedly you can drive for 25,000 miles w/o an oil change if you have an amsoil filter (not that i would) but its supposed to work that well

it's very good oil. i dont think i belive the whole 25k miles oil change intervals though.....

alot of engine builders like that oil and i know a few guys who race car/bikes/snowmobiles etc who run amsoil and they all swear by it.

why would you run 20w50 though......kinda thick............10w30 or 10w40 would be fine.......

I used this stuff in my 93 RX7 as premix. It is great stuff and burns ashless....not that it pertains to 4 stoke engines. But I would swear by their products.

its a great overall value, as far as drain intervals go, I may do it less
based on the color of the oil... if it stays clear... keep running it.
It stays clear on a heathy motor for a long time!!

The 20-50 has extra additives. Does the regular 12-30 and 5-30 have Moly in it?
