[censored]! They had the nerve to rip off a "normal looking white guy?" Imagine what they're doing to women and minorities!

TimVipond: Interesting. I will do additional research re Amsoil. May have to start using in my FJ Cruiser. Thanks for the info.

Are you serious? Only one oil change per year? May I ask what cars do you own with synthetic oil and one oil change per year?

I agree. Reformulation leads to improvement. Redline is simply improving its formulation based upon its research, etc.

Wow! Why don't more women change the oil in their cars when it is time to do so? I work for a government agency where they provide you with a car to perform your job. The mechanic told a story wherein a female employee received a new vehicle to use and when she was having problems with the car...

Wrong! If the manufacturer specified dino oil for your car from the factory use dino oil. Only switch to synthetic after approximately 12000 miles. This allows for the engine to properly break-in. You may be prone to oil leaks if you make the switch prematurely.

I agree. Use what the auto manufacturer recommends. The use of synthetic oil in an engine not designed for it is a waste of money. And, changing synthetic every 3000 miles is a colossal waste of money. It still amazes me the number of forum members who change their synthetic oil every 3000 miles.

I agree. What's the point of putting an additive into a good quality oil? Additives are not necessary and are a waste of money. They may also lead to sludge problems.
