is 5000 miles too long to wait for an oil change? - Toyota Yaris Forums

every stinking oil discussion has 'amsoil' in it somewhere.

the ONLY reason for amsoil fanbois is: Amsoil markets their products through a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) network of dealers

MLM and that fact that every backwater racetrack has someone who is trying to make a buck (it is a business, is it not ?) and tout the incredible capabilities of amsoil vs (xyz) oil...so they may sell some....there is more 'word of mouth' about amsoil and the grapevine and somehow people seem to think that carries more weight than corporate marketing and buying something off the shelf at wally-world.

amsoil is no better and no worse than any other big brand oil with the same API specification. do not believe the hype, because it is hype.

this very post of mine is going to get someones panties in a bunch I imagine.

the chemists at Amsoil are good and they won't make a bogus product, but you are not missing anything
by not buying amsoil.
