Amsoil or HPL?

[Kylerh2048]

I bought a 2022 wrx (2.4 boxer direct injection) recently and I'm looking to doing my own oil change and I'm torn between using amsoil or high performance lubricants oil. They both seem to be great. Amsoil just seems to have more history and pedigree but HPL oil I haven't seen not one bad comment. Any thoughts?

 

[Revving2Redline]

See what kinda money both cost. Are you going to be racing? I like both but have used the EC30 from HPL. Talk at @Pablo for Amsoil or @High Performance Lubricants.

 

[Kylerh2048]

Just my daily but I get on it alot. And from what I've read. Amsoil protects you're engine really well.

What ever oil syn type oil Walmart has on the shelves. The oil is not what will make you sell the Subaru.

That's a Great Question
How about try them both
Start with 1 and run them to 10-25k oci, then try the other 1
I look fwd to your results

Both will probably serve you well. If I had the money, I would try both.

I have used Amsoil before but I have not used HPL. Though, in the future at some point I would like to run HPL once through all 4 cars to clean up anything that may be left over from previous oils though I'm pretty meticulous and change oil frequently except in my Audi. The same oil has been in there for I don't know maybe 3 - 4 years now with maybe 1k miles; probably less. Can't drive the car at the moment until I register it and when I do, I still have boxes of M1 to get through. Car has Amsoil AFL in there now.

I'd give HPL a run - I am running their oil in my Sportwagen that gets the crap beat of it reguarly...I think these guys are the way to go.

 

[Ignatius]

HPL no doubt. I have seen lab tests of both and Amsoil is not bad but not impressive for the price. HPL is unequivocally the most impressive motor oil I've ever seen.

 

[High Performance Lubricants]

I think it’s fair to say both companies focus on making premium lubricants and it’s doubtful that you would go wrong with either.

That's probably one of the most diplomatic responses I have ever heard from a competitor! Others wouldn't be so gracious and generous! Bravo!

Having seen HPL's facility, when i use up my oil on hand, I'm going all HPL.

 

[JimNastic316]

I used to use Amsoil, and I liked it. But the cost has creeper up way to high for me, even with the discount. I just got 5 quarts of Mobil 1 from Walmart for 26 bucks, and there is a 10 rebate. Getting delivered to my house for free.

I run HPL in my wife's 2022 Jeep GC WK2 (check it out: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...ted-ups-just-dropped-off-the-packages.355350/).

I run Red Line in my 2022 Dodge Durango GT Plus AWD and our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe SE.

We also have a RAM 1500 (my dad's) running entirely on AMSOIL. The engine is running SS 5W-30.

My brother's 2020 Sonata will be converted to HPL as well. Oh, my mom runs Red Line in her 2017 Santa Fe SE.

All of these companies make outstanding products. If I found HPL earlier, I would most likely run HPL in all of our vehicles. On the flip side, trying out various brands is also fun.

If I was running a race team and needed lubricants tailored to my needs, HPL, hands down!

For your Subaru WRX I recommend you go with HPL because they offer the widest selection of formulations, and sometimes, they even make a custom blend for you, like this one here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/full-saps-a3-b4-a40-style-euro-lube-with-a-twist.356693

If you like to push your Subaru but are concerned about LSPI, then HPL offers their Premium Plus PCMO with HTHS above 3.5, which is something you won't find from any other manufacturer. If you want a more robust anti-wear package FULL-SAPS style, look no further than their Supercar line. They also offer HDMO and low-mid SAPS Euro oils in their Euro lineup. You have plenty of very good options with @High Performance Lubricants - just ask them for a recommendation that fits your application and driving style.

Agreed Kylerh, I like the Amsoil.

Amsoil's facilities are just as top notch except on a bigger scale.

Not knocking them at all, I still have some amsoil AME on the shelf.

Yes.

I’ve used Amsoil quite a bit. After seeing data & oil samples from HPL, along with super-quick responses to inquiries by David @ HPL, they’ve certainly earned my interest. I’m ordering their V-Twin oil change kit that will do two OCIs (20k miles) on my Harley. I’ll have back-to-back tests and will gladly share the UOAs and subjective results from both manufacturers.

Amsoil uses one oil for engine, trans, and primary. HPL has 3 separate oils which may provide better subjective results due to the differences in application. I’m intrigued.

Is this the new “thin vs thick” debate?

Would you be kind enough to provide a link or a copy of these tests? Thank you.
