I use it for all the reasons stateD, longer drains, better protection, etc, etc.
But I would gladly use it even if it were for only 3,000 miles. I have an 1993 Lumina that a realtive driveS mostly,that car rarely see's more than 2,000 miles annually. I use it in that car.
I have a good track record with Amsoil, since I first put it in a 1977 Monte Carlo around Jan. of 1978. I was working all over on a survey crew for the gov't. I never had the time nor the patience to change my oil every 2 weeks, so when I saw the story in Popular Science entitled The big debate over Synthetic Oil" in 1976 about the long drain synthetic's, I went looking for them. Found Mobil 1 and EON, used Mobil 1 untill I found Amsoil on the shelf of a local gas station in a town where we were working. Had them put it in my car and went on to travel over 25,000+ miles on that oil. I traveled all over the US and never changed oil for almost a year, nor did my fellow workers. That car never had one problem and was one of the best cars I ever had. From that point forward, there was nothing else worth considering IMO. I became a dealer in 1978 so I and my fellow Survey Tech's had access to the oil.
I still have a copy of the 1976 Popular Science magazine story, its 12 pages long and coprwrited or I would post it on my web site.
