I get it at cost. I am going to run the OCI out to 7500. It is still under warranty
I agree. It seems to have cleaned it out fairly well last time. I was told that the wear metals would be higher on the first OCI with Signature Series and would drop on the fallow up. It seems they were right.
It doesn’t have anything to do with the oil but everything to do with the engine.
Sure it does.....put City Star in the engine and the results would be very very different.
Looks great!
Just about any other oil would have given very similar results. Don't need Amsoil SS for those intervals. I know, you get it at cost.
Captain, thanks for the Post.
Not in this case since Amsoil is not City Star. The “wear metals” he posted about and attributed to the oil are about the engine.
Lol, and by the way, do what you want and spend what you want. Your Jeep, your money, your fun. Minimalists don't understand maximists.
I am no oil expert, just a guy who takes interest in my vehicle maintenance and has a fascination with engine oil. I thought engine oil and the properties of engine oil were directly related to engine wear (or lack of). I was told by another forum member and someone outside the forum the information I shared about the oil change wear. I am paraphrasing of course. I was told that my wear numbers would go up during my first oil change with Amsoil Signature Series and go down on the second oil change interval. I was advised that this was due to the excellent cleaning properties of Amsoil and the higher content of POA. Like I said, I am no expert but what they said appears to be true. The wear numbers did trend up and then went back down substantially. Of course, 20k seems to be a magic number for wear trends to flattening out. Could be a little of both on how my oil analysis turned out. Either way Amsoil seems to be treating my engine well. Especially, since the Jeep is no longer my daily driver and sits for days at times.
Exactly, we all piss away money on less important stuff. I get it at cost and it is a great oil. Overkill, at 5k OCI, most definitely but what the hell?!?
Yep years ago I went to a auto parts store and a gentleman pulled in with a new Chrysler really nice car, he told the counter person he wanted the basic unbranded motor oil and oil filter for his first oil change and that they couldn't fool him into buying name brand products because their was no difference, there was a party store next door and I went to get a soda that same gentleman walked in behind me throwing a six pack of premium beer on the counter and asked the clerk for the finest cigar they sold! Crazy I tell you!
