Has anyone used this oil in place of say Mobil 1 ? I live in Australia and been trying to source a good synthetic oil for my Rocket. So far AMSOIL looks like the better choice around?
Well, that's bound to be unbiased, isn't it?<...>There is an excellent set of comparisons of the major synthetics on the AMSOIL web site.<...>
Sure, every company is going to say their product is the best; it's called advertising. The tests shown on the Amsoil website are standardized tests; they can't out and out lie to you (or the Federal Trade Commission would hammer them good). But, you have to expect a little embellishment here and there.Well, that's bound to be unbiased, isn't it?Cheers, -Kit
Unless he's got lab data to show it didn't need to be changed earlier, or he's already gotten 200,000 miles out of that truck with that oil change interval, this doesn't tell us my, IMHO.One of the owners at my dealership put Amsoil in his truck and claims it'll go over 12,000 between oil changes.

Well, not usually. But when it comes to engine oil and doubling the change intervals, I'm going to need more than 'some guy did it.'
