I receive one of the major trade magazines and have read that there is about a 300% turnover rate in the business. BTW I am in the same business but do consider myself different in that I go to the customer's location and I am an owner/operator. I crawl under each vehicle myself and treat it as...

From what I've seen, this depends a lot on what type of driving you do. The biggest increases seem to go along with more highway driving. I had one customer say he gained 6 mpg in a full size Chevy after I changed his engine/ATF/rear end over to a quality synthetic. Don't expect that, but 1 or...

That depends on how much extra trouble they will have to go to for you to get it. Some places have to pay a few cents per gallon to get rid of it. I personally pay $99/yr for as much as I can generate. If you make it easy for them to collect it for you, I can't believe you would have a hard time...

Its a good chance that the larger chains are getting paid for thier used oil. Your best bet would be to go to a smaller independent lube center or even a garage, depending on how much you want to pick up at once. If you look close enough, you may even find a mobile service with the tanks on a...

Thanks for everyone's comments. I didn't really expect this UOA to come back looking as good as others posted with half of the miles on the oil. I understand these wear numbers are higher than average for this board but I've got to wonder how long an engine would really last with this kind of...

I install this oil for quite a few customers so I wanted to get a UOA just to make sure I'm not steering anyone wrong with it. This car/interval seemed like a good candidate so I went with it. I also noticed someone mention a while back that they would like to see more reports on this oil so...

I'm curious as to what kind of mileage you all get with this truck. I have a customer with the chevy version, ext cab. I changed him over to Amsoil XL7500 5W-30 at 35,000 miles. He went from 19 to 22 mpg. At the next oil change I changed him over to Amsoil ATF and Gear Lube, now he gets 25 on...

OK, I got the scoop on the make up oil for this engine. It took about a Gallon every 25000 miles, including topping off from filter replacement. As for comparing to dino oil, it might would be possible. Only because there would be so much make-up to be added you would always have a good amount...

I was considering becoming an Amsoil Dealer when the guy showed me this analysis. It definetly helped me make my decision. Can you see why? I run a business doing on-site oil changes and see vehicles/oil in all kinds of conditions. After finding this board I am considering doing some samples...
