Every so often someone fires up this type of thread again and I chuckle cause they are so fun to read. I changed over to AMSOIL a few years back and became an AMSOIL dealer going on a year and a half. I change my oil once every 10-12k as Kaotic does.

I have all lubricants now AMSOIL. I really noticed a nice difference with engine temps when I changed to their coolant and I really like how my tranny as well as my brakes feels with their fluids. Overall a great product line in my book. I think that I did take pictures of the top/bottom ends of my first motor when it blew and they both looked super clean. I ran AMSOIL for about 20k prior to the blown pistons. Before that I ran both Royal Purple and also Mobil1. Personally I preferred the Royal Purple over the Mobil1, but for some reason when I ran RP the engine temps seemed to be a bit higher.

People can say what they want, but actually I believe in the product so much that I still have my racing oil in the motor right now in Northern Maine temps. I plan on changing it again here shortly and am thinking about sending it off for an analysis. I have almost 10k on it. Usually I would run their SAE 5W-30 Signature Series and only change to the racing oil for the land speed weekends. I never ran 5-20 nor 0-20, but that is just me.
