Hello folks,
I was about to place an order with Amsoil for oil and filters for my truck ('98 F150 4,6, 131K) and my wife's car ('02 Focus ZX-5, 98K miles). I use XL 5-20 in my truck because I typically do short distance stop and go driving and the 6 month OCI works for this, but I use 5-20 signature for my wife's Focus, as she is driving 95% highway, averaging 20K a year. Anyway, Amsoil is out of the EAO35, and now that I think about it, they were out of stock a few months ago when I last looked. I was speaking with a friend and he mentioned using Hastings filters when he couldn't get an Amsoil filter. Is this a viable alternative, and if not what are my options? I am placing the oil order over the weekend so I can do the drain and fills next week. Any suggestions? cheers in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Dennis
