Hey fellas im debating if i should go with Moble One SS or EP or go with Amsoil Series 2K for a six month oil change intervals? I generally go about 5000-7500 miles every six months.
Moble One SS or EP vs Amsoil Series 2K

I would think comparing ASL or ATM for that short interval would be more correct.
Thanks Pablo so im wasting more money on oil that i dont even need, ASL is what i used to use so ill try that.
Heck, at those intervals I would be using one of their 7500 mile extended life oils!
I"d go with the Amsoil 10w-30/ATM over their 5w30, since it has slightly better thermal stability and you live in hot climate. But that's really picking nits....
The latest chemistries used in the ATM and ASL formulations seem to be very solid. Similar to the Mobil 1/EP, but with even higher additive "treat" levels.

Check out my UOA on 2K with the Amsoil XL 5W30

With a TBN of 8.1 after 2K, I wouldn't hesitate for a second using the XL 5W30 for 7500 miles (or even 4K over a year). My UOA was for 6 months. I am switching to the Series 2000 0W30 to see if my mileage improves. Plan on taking it at least a year. Maybe 2 years with an oil filter change. I am not sure if I have the grit to go 2 years though. Old habits die hard I guess.

Thanks im going to try the new formulation 5W30 and may try the 10W30 next summer.
If i was going for only a 7,500 OCI I would consider normal M-1, PP, even a semi-syn.
