After being a life time Mobil 1 user I am switching my wifes truck over to Amsoil SSO and EAO filter. 500 more miles she will have 12,500 miles on Mobil 1 EP 5w30 and filter, I am going to get a UOA done and see how well that held up compared to the 10k run I did on regular Mobil 1...I will do a UOA after 15k on the Amsoil and see how much longer it will last and go from there.
A different flavor!

You should really do at least two OC's with an oil brand before doing a UOA. If you ran the Amsoil, then changed your oil and ran the same Amsoil oil again and then did your UOA, you would get a better picture of how your engine likes it. FWIW

I think there are definitely some cases where this is true, especially if there is even the possibility that you're lugging around a fair amount of sludge or grime from your prior OCI's.
Good point!
