Amsoil OE

[Gene K]

But not everything, runs the same in every vehicle. Obviously I'm looking for a synthetic that's quiet running, a good quality synthetic.

I've found that usually oils with a heavier basestock seem quieter. It also seems to me that hydrocracked petroleum base is quieter than a PAO base. Might just be in my head.

This is it, right here. If you're not taking advantage of the long drain capabilities of Amsoil then there is no reason to use it. The OP's OCI is ridiculously short, he should use the lowest cost oil at Walmart as was discussed yesterday. How many threads and posts are we going to have on this?

That is because I only drive 3,000 mi a year..

2022 or 5 year average ?

Okay and? You’re still not going to get a benefit.

its your $$$$. Amsoils top oils are prolly better as are other boutique oils, BUT most are served well by CHEEPER of the shelf or Walmart.com oils. my daily truck gets QS ultimate durability 10-30 yearly as i drive little + do a weekly hot run of 40 miles. my toy a 300 hp 2001 audi TT driven in the summer only these days with a 4.25 qt sump gets Redlines real synthetic mostly 15-50. Amsoil is just another oil blender buying the ingredients elsewhere + i used it years ago BUT when they quit touting PAO + likely only used as much as need to meet a spec + blended in fake synthetic group III oils like everyone else. i still believe their oils are prolly better but NOT at the cost for a delivered product, in extreme use costlier oils serve a purpose BUT most are just throwing $$$ away IMO!! with better filtering or more filter changes oils can be run longer UNLESS you short trip TOO much

QuakerFake is a good motor oil for the price - 10W30 is not using much VM either …

If your out of warranty, nothing wrong with a quality synthetic every 24 months.

We have had analysis like the 4+ year, 13,000 mi (?) Mobil 1 factory fill from the Porsche that prove if doesn't turn into a pumpkin after 12 months. Maybe someone can provide a link?

I've been doing a little research I was looking into that triax synergy oil, and I've been hearing on here that it doesn't have that API donut on it. And you really don't hear much about it, except on Amazon, and in forums. So I was wondering about the Amsoil OE 5W20 is it worth the extra money? Over the other synthetics? I know the main thing is routine maintenance.. I change my oil every 6 months to 8 months I drive tops 4000 miles a year.
Thank you

Yes. Critic was sorta right, but others will say the same, OE is slightly more, true, but it is a good/great oil.

Use Amsoil OE or XL and go your year easy.

Where are you getting your Amsoil?

I can't get by the ridiculous Flashpoint on Havoine LL 10W30... 500F, really? Is that a typo?

Open cup? Closed cup? How do you know it’s ridiculous?

It meant compared to the other mainstream products published flashpoints. Especially for an oil thats a little over $3 a quart. On the product information sheet it doesn't list method.

I think I can buy at my local Napa.. I wouldn't bother paying shipping that's ridiculous..

I’ve never paid shipping from Amsoil. I order everything I need at the beginning of the year. I receive it in 2 days. Free shipping over $100.

I use SS and change every 5k or 6 months with OEM filters. When I used OE I changed at 3K/6 months. Never have to
do an analysis. But most of my cars do 5-10 mile trips. If I drove 30 miles one way I would change every year but still at
5K.

The short trips lead me to change twice a year. Not the miles.

I have a local dealer that gives me excellent pricing and a big warehouse. If not, I would use Pablo.

As far as what is best, I would say Amsoil is as good as it gets. I am not a dealer. I have left Amsoil 3 times in 35 years but
I have always come back.
