It's the only thing I use on pancakes! I'd put it on biscuits as well, but I am crazy like that...LOL

 

Hey, on pancakes, it smooths the exhaust exit path.

 

I was very skeptical at first so, I did some oil test to see how well it holds up. After 7K I took it out and had a local lab test it. All the numbers said that it was basically new oil, it was still clean, and there was no breakdown of the oil. So I put it back in and ran another 5K on it and re-tested it, and this time it was darker but not black, still transparent. The numbers said that was about half-way used up, but at this point I put new amsoil in my motor and have been satisfied ever since. I like there guarantee 25K or 1year oil change, and they do recommend that with HIGH PROFORMANCE Engines you change the oil every 15K or 1 year.

There is my 2 cents.

 

I was suffering from a receding hairline and striking out with the ladies until I decided to rub Amway Oil on my head every 60,000 miles.

Now my hair looks like Fabio's and supermodels keep begging me for sex!

 

Will it work for my beard????

 

Absolutely! Just ask any of the bazillion "independent dealers" who clutter up any internet search on anything having to do with oil.

Seriously, I think Amsoil markets good lubricants. Probably as good as many of the other synthetics which cost as much or less.

I don't use it 'cause I think it's over priced but especially 'cause I don't like the multi level marketing scheme and I don't appreciate the RIDICULOUS claims (60,000 mile oci) of the people who market it.

 

One thing to remember, as i learned before finally embracing it...
It was originally a bunch of german immigrants here in texas who started the company back in the 50's or 60's.
They had a synthetic patent at the same time Mobil's patent was in effect.
Heres where it gets to the core -
From the very 1st synthetic they had, they were beating Mobils molecules in shear tests.
The lions share of their technology is marketed for vehicles, but a large part of their up-front R&D is purely industrial and centers around lubricants for aircraft and hi-tech use.
So when the stuff is kicking everything elses *** sideways on shear strength, and corrosion resistance ( modern gasoline in the US since 1996 is corrosive by the way )
theres no a lot in the way of me putting it in every piston engine I own.

Kinda like they used to say about black sex, ...

 

That "you'll never go back" bullshit? Ha! Been there, done that, plenty. Seldom pass on a chance to go back. But then, I rarely pass on a chance to go forward, go sideways etc.

Never tried Amsoil though. Shear? Just remember a couple of things. Oil run through a bikes transmission gets chopped up way faster than one run only through an engine. Do you want to pay 5-6 times as much for an oil which lasts twice as long? Some folks do and that's OK with me. I'll stick with my $1.48 per quart Super Tech 15w40 and change it every 2k miles.

According to the UOAs over at Bobistheoilguy, it holds its own better than most oils costing multiples more.

 

Looking for a long lasting personal lubricant? Ask me how.

If you change it like that Im sure theres minimal wear anyway.
I change filter every 3K, and top off about 1/3 quart of fresh amsoil during the filter change. Other than that, No money spent on changes unless the gears start feeling crunchy( never happens anymore ) and the oil looks as pure as aunt jemima syrup on sample.
Overall, using this policy, you have a longer lasting engine and spend the same money as Bob.

 

Im a chrysler mechanic (i know cars are a diff story) but Ive been a certified mechanic for 4yrs and work under several techs who have plenty of experience. Every one of them,including myself would swear by it. They have an outstanding warranty -of course some restrictions apply- but they stand by it. I would def give it a thumbs up

 

I run Lucas.
