Taking the Amsoil Plunge

I just switch to Amsoil too. I use 0W-20, but I use a Royal Purple filter. Pep Boys carries the RP filter locally so I only had to order the Amsoil online.

Been using Amsoil 0w-20 for a while now. My vendor suggested that I use MANN filters instead of Amsoil oil filter just to be safe (replacing every ~7500 miles.

Also, aren't you boosted now? The 25k mile interval is for "stock" NA cars. I think for "stock" boosted cars, it's 15k. No warranty/guarantees are given to any modified cars, I think.

I am actually glad that I am trying Amsoil this time. The guy that I purchased from is life long friends with the inventor of Amsoil Al Amutuzio. They were in ROTC together in Duluth Minnesota back in the early 70s. I even got to see a pic of them standing on the flight deck next to a plane. It was pretty cool. The guy provided me with a bunch of testing literature proving how much better Amsoil is in comparison to RP. He did state that if you plan on racing with your car to not use the Amsoil filter, but go with a WIX due to a much higher flow rate that would be required in that application. It was an interesting evening for sure.
