can Amsoil ASL 5w30 really stand 25000 miles?

[SamMan23]

I've also considered the possibility that the engine that the oil is run in could also affect it's OCI.
I was wondering whether tooslick, pablo and msparks would recommend a extended drain for the years of toyota sludge machines?

I have stated publicly that any known sludgers really should not go much beyond 10K on any synthetic oil.

Nope , not in all engines made today and varying conditions they are driven in . Some of these are 3 quart motors and can kill an oil pretty good through summer months with an automatic and A/C on . Some motors will trash an oil from FI cold start injector and winter warm up .The variables are many .

I've lost track , where does 3MP's LS1 test stand in terms of time on the Amsoil ... 6 months ?

the 3MP's Amsoil test now has 7000 miles on it in 141days, just short of 5 months.

I'm an Amsoil dealer and I hardly know squat about oil or OA. I got in to get good oil at a lower price and don't even bother to try to sell it.

As far as running 25K miles without changing the oil: On my '98 Dodge Ram, at 3k miles, I installed a dual remote oil filtering system with SDF-15 Amsoil filters plus the Amsoil bypass filtering system with the BE-90 filter and switched to Amsoil 0-30 Series 2000 oil. I change out the filters and the oil once per year, which equates to about 17k miles +/- per year. It now has 101K miles and still running strong.

Ditto what Motorbike said. There are way too many variables to make such a blanket statement for every conceivable situation and circumstance. I believe even the knowledgable Amsoil sponsors, dealers, preferred customers and regular users on this board should agree with this. If they don't, somebody here will rake 'em over the coals real bad.
