Thats a good example of the logic used by SO proponents.

But you are right to make up for the increased cost you will have to extend the oil change interval past what the owners manual calls for.

Walmart conventional oil is going for $12 for five quarts while their synthetic oil is going for $22 for....four quarts? Maybe its five.

So you better plan on about doubling your oil change interval using synth.


I am sorry to sound so nasty its just the facts...

No worries here. As I said before this is a debate that can go round and round. I will be showing via an independent oil analysis this fall how strongly or weak that AMSOIL performs and we will see if I will need to eat my words. I am sponsoring all lubricants for a racing team at a local circle track this summer on one of their cars with AMSOIL products. He will be running the whole season on the standard AMSOIL long drain interval motor oil in a 94 Mercury Grand Marquis. This will be a true test to hard driving and the effects it has on the oil and motor. The track is only a 1/4 mile long and they of course due to that short track put a lot of stress on the engines. I will also be running a log on my replacement motor with their 5-20 Dominator Racing Oil using it for my DD and then at the Land Speed Runs as well. I am a man of my word so if after the results come back it shows that the AMSOIL product hasn't stood up to the claims that the company makes then I will admit that my beliefs were misguided.
