Ok I am coming up on my next oil change. I have a 98 5.2 with 144,000 miles It runs great. I know the truck has had castrol gtx, and havoline oil run throught it in the past . People have told me not to change to synthitic oil this late in the motors life because it could make the gaskets leak . What do you people think . O hello amsoil guy.

As long as you have performed routine oil changes then there shouldn't be a whole lot of gunk in the engine. Synthetics usually have a strong detergent package which cleans the seals and that is what sometimes cause a leak. It really isn't the fault of the synthetic oil at all. I would start by using one quart of a full TRUE synthetic and four quarts of a synthetic blend. If you don't encounter leaks then try full synthetic the next time. Mobil 1 is readily available at stores and makes both a full synthetic formula and a blend.

First, let me comment on Auto-RX (www.auto-rx.com)
I have recommended it multiple times on this site.
IMHO, it is the best flush on the market.
From my personal knowledge and per their website, Auto-Rx is a synthetic, biodegradable, highly effective, safe metal cleaner. Auto-RX is gentle, slow acting, and thorough. I know many vehicle owners that have used it and no one has reported any problems.
Auto-RX is inert in your oil,it does not negatively affect any aspect of your host oil except to clean and disburse crud to the oil filter. There are no negatives associated with it's use. Auto-RX was developed as an alternative to solvents for a slower non hazardous alternative that does not deplete, but ends up disbursing the crud in a very small form ... small enough to flow by bearings etc.
If anyone decides to use this Auto-RX product ...
(For the record ... I do not sell it)
... FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS RELIGIOUSLY.
I wish that I sold it ... but it is a proprietary product.
__________________________________________________
Yes, we offer a very competitive product Amsoil Engine Flush buy IMHO I feel that Auto-Rx is the better product.

For the record, Flushing an engine is very improtant, however flushing too often may do more harm than good ...
... especially if you use too harsh a product.
Typically, you could flush your engine every 25k or 50k miles to keep the internals clean --- but certainly not every oil change. You should also flush if you noticed a problem ... or if you were switching from conventional petroleum to synthetic oil.
There are no special requirements for switching from conventional petroleum to synthetic oil, however in older vehicles or those with high mileage such as yours, it is advisable to use Engine Flush first. This will ensure that the engine is clean and free of any accumulated contaminants which might have an effect on the service life of Synthetic Motor Oils.
__________________________________________________
Additional information regarding Auto-Rx. It is vegetable based and it does not affect an oils chemistry or viscosity at all.
It is NOT an Additive but a engine cleaner that really works. It has a residual effect because it cleans the rings and valve seats and valve guide seals so well. Lasts 10000 miles or so in a gasoline engine.
Should you be concerned about seals when using Auto-RX? This product will simply clean the abrasive deposits that keep the seals from functioning normally. I've also talked to guys that have run tests and they say it doesn't damage anything.
I know another guy that told me he used it in an older engine with a noticable oil pan gasket leak and it almost stopped the leakage after 500 miles. He also stated that it also helped his noisy lifters and cleaned off baked on varnish.
This is offered as a "safe" alternative for Dakota owners that would prefer to flush their engines and keep the internals clean, or prior to switching to synthetic oil.

| Amsoil Synthetic Oil Myths - high mileage vehicle
IP: Logged
Message:
Here is what you have seen me post previously:
"Q. I sometimes hear "Synthetic oils contain detergents that can make the oil seals leak in older vehicles, or vehicles with high mileage."
Is this really an issue?
How old would a vehicle have to be to not use synthetics?
How many miles on a vehicle to be concerned about switching to synthetics?
A. Synthetic lubricants do have an inherent detergency that cleans and removes conventional motor oil deposits left over in an engine. However, all motor oils are designed to help swell seals slightly to prevent leakage. The only time you would observe seal leakage is if the seals are already damaged or showing signs of leakage around them. As long as the vehicle has been well maintained, and in good mechanical condition, it can be switched to a synthetic lubricant at any mileage."
__________________________________________________
Let's put to bed some of the other objections you will hear concerning the use of synthetic engine lubricants (some are old debates ... some are new): ( Your concern is answered in Myth # 1 and # 10 )
Myth #1: Synthetic motor oils damage seals
Untrue. It would be foolhardy for lubricant manufacturers to build a product that is incompatible with seals. The composition of seals presents problems that both petroleum oils and synthetics must overcome. Made from elastomers, seals are inherently difficult to standardize. Ultimately it is the additive mix in the oil that counts. Additives to control seal swell, shrinkage and hardening are required, whether it be a synthetic or petroleum product that is being produced.
Myth #2: Synthetics are too thin to stay in the engine
Untrue. In order for a lubricant to be classified in any SAE grade (10W-30, 10W-40, etc) it has to meet certain guidelines with regard to viscosity ("thickness"). For example, it makes no difference whether it is 10W-40 petroleum or 10W-40 synthetic, at -25 degrees centigrade (-13F) and 100 degrees centigrade (212 degrees F) that oil has to maintain a standardized viscosity or it can't be rated a 10W-40.
Myth #3: Synthetics cause cars to use more oil
Untrue. Synthetic motor oils are intended to use in mechanically sound engines, that is, engines that don't leak. In such engines oil consumption will actually be reduced. First, because of the lower volatility of synlubes. Second, because of the better sealing characteristics between piston rings and cylinder walls. And finally, because of the superior oxidation stability (i.e. resistance of synthetics against reacting with oxygen at high temperatures.)
Myth #4: Synthetic lubricants are not compatible with petroleum
Untrue. The synthesized hydrocarbons, polyalphaolefins, diesters and other materials that form the base stocks of high quality name brand synthetics are fully compatible with petroleum oils. In the old days, some companies used untested ingredients that were not compatible, causing quality synthetic lubricants to suffer a bad reputation. Fortunately, those days are long gone. Compatibility is something to keep in mind, however, whether using petroleum oils or synthetics. It is usually best to use the same oil for topping off that you have been running in the engine. That is, it is preferable to not mix your oils, even if it is Valvoline or Quaker State you are using. The reason is this: the functions of additives blended for specific characteristics can be offset when oils with different additive packages are put together. For optimal performance, it is better to use the same oil throughout.
Myth #5: Synthetic lubricants produce sludge
Untrue. In point of fact, synthetic motor oils are more sludge resistant than their petroleum counterparts, resisting the effects of high temperatures and oxidation. In the presence of high temperatures, two things happen. First, an oil's lighter ingredients boil off, making the oil thicker. Second, many of the complex chemicals found naturally in petroleum base stocks begin to react with each other, forming sludge, gums and varnishes. One result is a loss of fluidity at low temperatures, slowing the timely flow of oil to the engine for vital engine protection. Further negative effects of thickened oil include the restriction of oil flow to critical areas, greater wear and loss of fuel economy. Because of their higher flash points, and their ability to withstand evaporation loss and oxidation, synthetics are much more resistant to sludge development.
Myth #6: Synthetics can't be used with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors
Untrue. In fact the very low ash content of synthetics will extend the life of every exhaust system component.
Myth #7: Synthetics void warranties
Untrue. No major manufacturer of automobiles specifically bans the use of synthetic lubricants. In point of fact, increasing numbers of high performance cars are arriving on the showroom floors with synthetic motor oils as factory fill. Which may not make the dealers too happy since oil changes usually lead to other service work.
Myth #8: Synthetics last forever
Untrue. Although some experts feel that synthetic base stocks themselves can be used forever, it is well known that eventually the additives will falter and cause the oil to require changing. However, by "topping off", additives can be replenished. Through good filtration and periodic oil analysis, synthetic motor oils protect an engine for lengths of time far beyond the capability of non synthetics. Amsoil's unique additives packages allow for extended drain intervals.
Myth #9: Synthetics are too expensive
Untrue. Tests and experience have proven that synthetics can greatly extend drain intervals, provide better fuel economy, reduce engine wear and enable vehicles to operate with greater reliability. All these elements combine to make synthetic engine lubricants more economical than conventional non synthetics. In Europe, synthetics have enjoyed increasing acceptance as car buyers look first to performance and long term value rather than initial price. As more sophisticated technology places greater demands on today's motor oils, we will no doubt see an increasing re-evaluation of oil buying habits in this country as well.
Myth #10: Synthetic oils contain detergents that can make the oil seals leak in older cars
Untrue. Synthetic lubricants do have an inherent detergency that cleans and removes conventional motor oil deposits left over in an engine. However, motor oils are designed to help swell seals slightly to prevent leakage. The only time you would observe seal leakage is if the seals are already damaged or showing signs of leakage around them. As long as the vehicle has been well maintained, and in good mechanical condition, it can be switched to a synthetic lubricant at any mileage.
__________________________________________________
There are other MYTHS and non-truths circulating the forums, garages, and race tracks. The nine above are just a few that I wanted to address.
Conclusions
Since their inception, manufacturers of synthetic motor oils have sought to educate the public about the facts regarding synthetics, and the need for consumers to make their lubrication purchasing decisions based on quality rather than price. As was the case with microwave ovens or electric lights, a highly technological improvement must often overcome a fair amount of public skepticism and consumer inertia before it is embraced by the general population. But the word has been getting out as a growing number of motorists worldwide experience the benefits of synthetic lubrication. The wave of the future, in automobile lubrication, is here, and Amsoil has lead the march, recently celebrating their 30th year in business. For the environmental enthusiasts, the use of synthetics could reduce waste oil disposal by 80%, so if environment is your thing, then synthetic lubricants should be your choice.

| Switching to Amsoil Synthetic - Seal Compatibility
IP: Logged
Message:
Additional Information -- Seal Compatibility
AMSOIL lubricants are all tested for seal compatibility with all the seal materials in use with industry accepted testing methods. AMSOIL Products will not damage seals or be more prone to leaking than petroleum products when used in vehicles with undamaged seals. Unfortunately, high mileage vehicles and equipment that have been using petroleum lubricants for long periods of time face the risk that sludge and deposits have built up in the engine and created a false seal, and the seal itself has dried out and cracked or shrunk. Lubricants help condition seals, keeping them supple and slightly swelled to insure a proper seal with no leaks. When covered with sludge or deposits, the seal will deteriorate. Now you start using AMSOIL motor oil with it’s high quality additive package and natural detergency, and you start to clean up the engine. The false seal is cleaned away, and if the seal itself has become cracked or damaged, a leak will develop. The same thing occurs in transmissions and differentials. Because of this, many people think that synthetic oil is more prone to leaking, when all it really is doing is revealing the problem that petroleum oil deposits had created and kept hidden. Once the damaged seals are properly replaced, keep using the synthetic oil and they won’t leak again.
__________________________________________________
Any seal leakage when switching from conventional "dino" to synthetic in higher mileage vehicles is usually due to the fact that the seals were already damaged and simply filled with "crud". True - the detergency in synthetics cleaned the sludge --- and the problem (which already existed) becomes evident. This is mostly in older vehicles since seal materials are better in modern engines.

I think that we have covered all the topics, and
I hopes this answers your questions and concerns.

| Amsoil Synthetic Oil & Oil Analysis
IP: Logged
Message:
The oil industry here in the USA is part of the problem. They produce the cheapest oil they can to keep their profit margins high, and tell customers to change their oil every 3k miles. Where is the third party study that says 3k is the recommended interval? ... (other than "Quickie Lube" advertisements).
Automobile manufacturers don't recommend extended drain intervals because they know that most oils on the market today are not suited for extended drains. Automobile manufacturers would have to recommend certain oils and they don't want to do that unless they have a marketing agreement with a particular oil company.
__________________________________________________
Most cars today call for between 3k - 7k mile oil change intervals, which is still far shorter than recommendations in Europe. NOTE: ALL EUROPEAN OILS ARE CERTIFIED TO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN WHAT YOU FIND "on-the-shelf" IN AMERICA. Oil change intervals in Europe and Japan are between 10k and 15k.
__________________________________________________
As stated earlier, there are no special requirements for switching from conventional petroleum to synthetic oil, ... however in older vehicles or those with high mileage, it is advisable to use an Engine Flush first.

What is Oil Analysis?
Oil analysis involves sampling and analyzing oil for various properties and materials to monitor wear and contamination in an engine, transmission or hydraulic system. Sampling and analyzing on a regular basis establishes a baseline of normal wear and can help indicate when abnormal wear or contamination is occurring.
Oil Analysis works like this.
Oil that has been inside any moving mechanical apparatus for a period of time reflects the exact condition of that assembly. Oil is in contact with engine or mechanical components as wear metallic trace particles enter the oil. These particles are so small they remain in suspension. Many products of the combustion process also will become trapped in the circulating oil. The oil becomes a working history of the machine.
Particles caused by normal wear and operation will mix with the oil. Any externally caused contamination also enters the oil. By identifying and measuring these impurities, you get an indication of the rate of wear and of any excessive contamination. An oil analysis also will suggest methods to reduce accelerated wear and contamination.
The typical oil analysis tests for the presence of a number of different materials to determine sources of wear, find dirt and other contamination, and even check for the use of appropriate lubricants.
Oil analysis can detect:
--- Fuel dilution of lubrication oil,
--- Dirt contamination in the oil,
--- Antifreeze in the oil,
--- Excessive bearing wear,
--- Misapplication of lubricants.
Some wear is normal, but abnormal levels of a particular material can give an early warning of impending problems and possibly prevent a major breakdown.
Early detection can:
--- Reduce repair bills,
--- Reduce catastrophic failures,
--- Increase machinery life,
--- Reduce non-scheduled downtime.
Early detection with oil analysis can allow for corrective action such as repairing an air intake leak before major damage occurs. Probably one of the major advantages of an oil analysis program is being able to anticipate problems and schedule repair work to avoid downtime during a critical time of use.
Another purpose of oil analysis is to provide a means of predicting possible impending failure without dismantling the equipment. A person can "look inside" an engine, transmission or hydraulic systems without taking it apart.
------------------------------------------------
Once you order the "sampling kit" follow the directions very close so as to NOT contaminate the sample. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
--------------------------------------------------
I could go on-and-on about the merits and benefits of oil analysis. Entire phamplets have been written on the subject. However, the proper lab will do the dirty work and provide you with a "bottom line" interpretation.
--------------------------------------------------
Cost and Convenience of Oil Analysis:
The cost of an oil analysis will vary according to the laboratory and extent of the analysis. Typical charges are $10 to $30 per analysis. The expense easily can be justified if it alerts the owner of a major problem that can be corrected and will help prevent downtime when the vehicle or machine is needed.
Several companies have developed oil analysis kits that make oil analysis convenient. These kits include the sample bottles, suction pump and tubing, and possibly a pre-addressed, postage-paid mailing container.
The reasonable cost and convenience of oil analysis for use makes it another management tool that should be considered by anyone wanting to do preventive maintenance.
You should use a lab that is familiar with the additive chemstry of the oil you are using. For instance ...
... testing Amsoil, I'd use Oil Analyzers, Inc.,
... testing Mobil1, AV Lube,
... testing Redline, Oil Analyzers, Inc.
I think you will get more accurate data on oxidation, nitration, TBN, etc., etc., if you do this. Also, Blackstone Labs & Dyson Analysis are two very good oil analysis companies and you can also check the Yellow Pages for someone nearby.

Amsoil Independent Dealers
It is sometimes difficult to locate a "local" dealer since we are all Independent Dealers. Amsoil is available nationwide through Independent Dealers such as myself. Orders are placed either from the catalog (tollfree #) or from the online store when you visit my website(secure credit card orders can be placed direct from my website). If you would like a FREE catalog you can request one at my website.
Amsoil is also available at High End Automotive Stores --- NAPA and Canadian Tire. Unfortunately they are doing what we call High Grading or High Ending ... selling only Amsoil's best and fastest movers in a retail outlet ... and leaving the rest of the product line to dealers who have put a lot of time, effort and money into understanding and educating themselves on the complete Amsoil product line ... making Amsoil what it is today, a recognized Industry Leader, a recognized label and a superior product.
__________________________________________________
Amsoil Preferred Customer
Customers have the option of buying retail, or becoming a "prefered customer" and purchase Amsoil products at up to 25% off the retail price. If you and your family purchase $100 or more each year this will save you money. With the membership you will also receive an annual subscription to our monthly magazine, the Amsoil Action News (racing news, news articles and Amsoil product updates).
1) If you think you will be buying $100 of Amsoil Products annually, $20 per year will buy you "Preferred Customer" status ($10 for six month trial) whereby you will save up to 25% off retail, and you will save money. Otherwise you can order direct from the catalog at retail prices. Preferred Customers also receive a FREE subscription to Amsoil Action News, a monthly magazine devoted to Product and Industry news.
2) Amsoil is more than Synthetic Lubrication. We also carry Hastings Filters, BOSCH Plugs, Wire Sets, and Wiper Blades.
3)Amsoil also has the Altrum Division which includes AGGRAND Organic Fertilizer, Altrum Vitamins and Nutritional Supplements, Water Filtration, and Detergents ... all of which you can order at a discount with the SAME "Preferred Customer" status.
_________________________________________________
Amsoil Distribution Facilities
Amsoil has fourteen (14) distribution facilities in the United States. Your order will be shipped UPS from the nearest distribution facility and the shipping charges you see are what UPS charges Amsoil.
I have had many requests asking for locations where Amsoil can be "picked up" rather than delivered via UPS. Many Retail Stores carry Amsoil, but it is difficult to obtain an address list since they often operate as Independent Amsoil Commercial or "On-the-Shelf" locations. Another option os to "pick up" the product direct from the warehouse. You can still request a catalog, order, and then "pick up" at the warehouse locations if you choose.

Wilson,
Probably 10% of all emails I receive ask ---
"Where can I find Amsoil in a retail store?"
Unlike mass marketed petroleum products which are bulk manufactured to provide the minimum lubrication at the cheapest price, AMSOIL's line of synthetic products are individually crafted to provide the most durable protection in the most extreme temperature and load conditions you may encounter. The AMSOIL durability also shows up in product longevity, since AMSOIL synthetic oils and fluids last upwards of 8 times longer than conventional petroleum products. The strength of synthetic lubrication is the ability to eliminate the organic elements that cause conventional petroleum oils to breakdown and lose efficiency.
Further, synthetic lubricants can be tailored with specific additives to function at a MUCH higher efficiency in extreme conditions, allowing your oils to function immediately in cold start conditions or to continue to provide stable protection in extremely hot conditions that cause petroleum oils to fail at potentially catastrophic results to your machinery.
The advantages of AMSOIL are hardly limited to extreme conditions, but rather from their strength in day-to-day use. At the core of AMSOIL's synthetic lubricants is the ability to provide superior lubrication. That means engines and machinery operate more efficiently, with less friction. Less friction means less heat produced and less wear and tear on mechanical parts, which allow engines and machinery to have much longer life spans. The increase in operating efficiency also means an increase in power and fuel efficiency, since your equipment is not fighting against itself and friction.
AMSOIL is not designed to be put on sale at the grocery store for the cheapest price possible. An AMSOIL customer makes an informed decision to choose AMSOIL to safeguard the enormous investment they make in their vehicles, fleets, machinery or heavy equipment, and to insure that their equipment will last the longest with the minimum amount of maintenance.

I had an engine that I rebuilt in High School in 1979, it was a 383 stroker small block chevy, that engine always had oil changes every 2,500 mi. I sold it in 1999 with approx 80,000 mi. at the time the buyer wanted to look under the valve covers, I removed them and the intake and the engine was compleatly free of any crud or sludge build-up. Use a quality Dino or Syn. oil and you will be fine and will have no need for "engine flushes" ( in my opinion another way to flush your wallet)
As for not seeing Amsoil in retail stores, there is no room left for markup. No advertising money spent, no middle man = bigger proffits.
