I drive a diesel toyta land cruiser daily and currently run Amsiol 15w40 HD synthetic (AME). The engine is a 4.2L inline 6 with a 10 quart oil capacity. I udually change the oil every 10,000 kilomters (about 6,200 miles). I spend most of my time in Clemson, SC where the winter is mild, but summers are hot, but I am home in Vermont every christmas.
My questions:
- first of all, how does amsoil synthetic stand up beside other synthetics? I have used it for adout 3 changes now and have no complaints but I have only been driving it about a year since i finished building it.
- Is 15w40 the right oil?
- Can i get away with increasing my mileage intervals? 25,000 seams riduculous, how about 10-15,000 miles?
thanks!
