Amsoil OE Synthetic

nevadanick - I agree. And millions of motorist are enjoying the benefits a superior synthetic offers. I wonder why OEM's require synthetic oil in their high performance engines? Must want them to make it thru the warranty period.

If a piece of equipment was designed to use a synthetic oil, conventional oil can't be used.

And all the rst of us have been using numerous other oils with great results.

So I am being called a liar, because you use and are probably a snake oil dealer. Sorry, but they must have somewhat agreed with the certified lab report, because with a "little" legal persuasion, they paid for the ruined components and the labor cost to make me whole as a businessman.

Instead of innuendo’s, opinions and personal prejudices let’s look at verifiable facts.

1. Amsoil has been in the market place since the late 1960’s. They are a major player in synthetic lubricant markets, both transportation related and industrial. If the products they produce were inferior and cause damage they would have been out of business long ago.
2. When Amsoil receives raw materials, be they base stocks (from multiple sources) or additives (from multiple sources) they are tested, in the Amsoil lab, to ensure they meet Amsoil standards before they are offloaded. If the raw materials fail they are returned to the manufacturer.
3. The blending process is done by a multi-million dollar state of the art, computer controlled, system.
4.To ensure every lubricant meets Amsoil standards, it is tested in the Amsoil lab from blending through bottling. This guarantees every gallon of a specific product is the same as the one before it. Amsoil cannot afford to have even one quart of oil leave the company as substandard. No lubricant manufacture tests their products as thoroughly as Amsoil! If one quart is bad then the whole batch would be bad. More than one person or one piece of equipment would be affected.
5. So “the lab report said lubricant breakdown”. What’s the supporting results from the lab? What failed in the lubricant? What part failed and caused the failure?
6.Lubrication related breakdowns with modern oils, conventional or synthetic, are very unlikely. Maintenance practices or an unusually wearing part will cause a catastrophic failure not todays lubes. Changing the lubricant will not repair damaged parts.
7. I have been using the Amsoil products since 1986. They have performed flawlessly for thousands of miles in my cars, trucks, Harley, boats and motorhomes that require API rated oils. They have performed flawlessly for hundreds of hours in my lawnmower, leaf blower, weed whip, power washer and air compressor. That is why I find it hard to believe that in 90 days of use the oil caused an engine failure! Other factors are involved!

Great post!

Everyone can thank AMZ/OIL for pioneering synthetic lubricants.

My Dad is the first AMZ/OIL Dealer in WA State. We have been using AMZ/oil since the early 70's.

Indeed, as another poster pointed out, Amsoil has almost a cult like following. I have a buddy that has used it for years. For a long time her was a "dealer" of it. Something that I find noteworthy ( although it may not be related to his used of that brand of oil ) is that he has a twin turbo Audi sitting in his workshop with both turbos failed. Inadequate oil ? I have no idea.
Personally, I never have use Amsoil, and would not. I use Mobil One in my Nissan truck and in my motorcycle. I use Motorcraft ( which is semi-synthetic ) in all the Fords here.

I also use Motocraft oil 5-20 in my Ford Modular Motors as well as Motocraft filters. The Modular motors seem to run best with Motocraft oil and filters so I just leave well enough alone.

I tried this Amsoil because I got what I felt was a great deal and it met the certification for Chrysler. I paid about 7 or 8 bucks more than a Mobile 1 oil...I also went with the Wix oil filter recommended by Amsoil. I wanted to move to Synthetic oil and Mobile 1 was not an option.

The reason I went with Amsoil vs Mobile 1 is because Mobile 1 Does NOT carry the Chrysler certification.

I have since found that Pennzoil synthetic also carries the Chrysler certification my Pentastar needs. So there are other options out there.

I am anxious to see what the labs come back to say. I hope that the clear oil is an indication that my motor is running clean and the oil filter is doing a great job and the oil is doing what it needs to do. If everything comes back peachy I see no reason to change from Amsoil.

If the reports come back bad then I have bigger problems than Amsoil. LOL

Thanks!

x2 but OP has a Chrysler product... not a GMC engine. Dexos certified is intended for GM engines.

And only 2 out of how many product lines ???? The rest of the product lines have the fake API sunburst to deceive you.
