do ou take used oil smaples? it may help extend your filter swaps and having to add so much oil. I use bypass filters and the seem to last about 40/50,000 miles. I get my moneys worth fosure

Originally Posted By: KDS Thanks guys. It sounds like I should really be running something thinner. Does Motorcraft make a full synthetic? Who else makes true synth's? I haven't found AMS oil anywhere around my place yet. Also is it safe to mix oils? I have 1/2qt of RP and 1/2 of GC. is it...

I purchased over 60 gallons of Amsoil ATF in the past 4 years and the fluid performance surpasses any mineal based fluid I have ever used. I am glad that Amsoil makes this fluid or I would be changing Atf every 30,000 miles like I used to do from 1992/1999.

what car are you thinking of using this in? you confused me with the comment that the Amsoil synthetic base seems thicker than the petrolium based competitors.

reading your post reminds me of the time with my exgf when she would buy clothes and decide to return them. the reasoning is familiar but in a different context.

I have an older 7.3 turbo diesel that I used the HDD 5w30 Amsoil for 5 years and 40,000 miles with bypass system before I took my first UOA, I was so nervous waiting for the results, My first UOA ever, I just needed to relax. http://www.voogru.com/images/oil2.jpg

what are the closed and open pressure for this solid lifter cam? if you have tight clearence rod and mains you should use a standard volume pump and 20 weight racing oil would be worth trying.

I wish I had some performance data on the XL7500 Amsoil. I will purchase some next order and will use it until the UOA says to change it. I am willing to bet it will last longer than 20,000 miles in my Taurus SHO, I have 27,000 miles/3 years on the ASL5w30 now and will be posting up a UOA soon...
