synthetic all the way until I can't afford it!!!
Durango
How long have you been doing 1 year OCI's? How many miles on the cars? Just curious because I plan on doing either 6 mos or 1 year, depending on the mileage
Screw this, I am migrating on my next OCI to full synthetic at probably around 27k+. 27k is more then enough time to wait to put full-synthetic. Although I don't agree with those that say you can switch to full synthetic from day 1, I feel 3 OCIs of Mobil and 1 of MC is enough growing time for dino and dino blends, I am going full syn with PP next OCI!! Wow, now I gotta figure out the filter. Anyone for a group buy on Amsoil EAO filters?!?!? The promise of more gas mileage is too great!

Petro oil .With the miles I put on my vehicles I can't justify syn oils .I have never noticed any noticeable mpg improvements with syn oils and I run Redline ,Amsoil,and Mobil 1 in the engine , power steering ,differentials and transmission and transfer cases .I like Redline differential lubes and use them if a syn is required by the manufacture( my wifes F250 Ford ) Delo Esi gear lube is probably just as good as any of the synthetics so that is what I run in every thing else .I may run it "ESI" in my wifes Ford next oil change though.
Are you saying you dump your used oil and filters on the ground? I recycle my oil and filters.
Buster, Amsoil is the best oil in the world and is warranted.Quote:
Tim, so none of Amsoil's oils are off spec.? Everything runs better since I got rid of the dino?
Tim, when is the last time you have heard of an engine failure due to oil? Only time I hear of it is from the 20+ engine failures per year due to Amsoil as stated by Big Al himself.

I run nothing but synth in my Z. Mobil 1 15W50 w/Mobil 1 or OEM filter for the engine and Redline MT-90 for the manual transmission.
-drools- that 300zx of yours is my dream car
Is yours one of the last 300 made, with the window badges, etc.?
I saw that Pepboys has Valvoline for $1/quart....

Hey ThirdeYe. Yep,mine has the plaque on the dash that says "1970-1996 Nissan Commemorates The Z Car. Number 175 of 300."
It also has the 1970-1996 Z stickers on the side/rear windows. I bought her with 30k miles. She now only has 57k pampered and babied miles. Arctic Pearl White,black leather seats,T-Tops,and in showroom mint condition! Completely bone stock,too.

aquariuscsm: We need a picture of that beauty in the photo section.
I recycle fluids and filters....
My Dad had run 27,000 miles on Amsoil the last time I was up there.
If I had not come up and changed it he would still be driving on that oci. With his type of driving he should hve changed it at about 15000 miles.

Using MC dino blend since 21,534 miles and I am just over 26k now so thats like 4500 miles and the oil is still hanging in there. Gotta give this goo its just due and give it a round two.
Just started using the MLM darling of the oil world, Amsoil 0W20 (ASM). I have noticed a marked difference in cold engine operation with this VS my previous 5W20s and MPG has jumped up by .5.
No, I'm using Pennzoil conventional (Yellow bottle) in both of our cars.
