I too, used to think this page was great, but what is going to happen is anyone who has any real knowledge is going to be driven away by answering the same damn questions EVERY SINGLE DAY! I know, I know, we could all just leave, and we might as well, because there is going to be nobody left here to actually provide answers to REAL questions. Everyone should wake up if they want to keep using the board.

What we need is a knowledge base on here and not just threads. Definite, proven methods of how to do something saved for anyone to see easily instead of searching through endless threads.

|  Amsoil Synthetic Oil & Extended Drain Intervals
IP: Logged
Message:
crittercawler,
Ha ha ha Ha Ha!
The question about oil should always be asked using the word "favorite" instead of "best". Best implies logic, but favorite implies emotions, which are illogical and opinionated.
Best Oil? By what criteria? Price, anecdotal or actual performance, additive package, drain intervals?
__________________________________________________
Redline is an excellent synthetic oil, but VERY pricey, and they offer no Preferred Customer Program whereby customers can receive approximately 20% off retail pricing (Amsoil does). Redline has an excellent additive package, and a high ratio of esters to PAO's.
Quote from Redline's website, "Synthetic oils have been shown to last 25,000 miles in field tests; however we recommend shorter drain intervals in order to provide a margin of safety with the oil. We recommend draining the oil between 12,000 and 18,000 miles depending on the type of service and the degree of blow-by gases contaminating the oil. High-speed freeway driving is easy on the oil due to its excellent thermal stability. If the engine is worn and if considerable stop-and-go driving is involved, 10,000-12,000 mile drains are suggested. A good rule of thumb to follow is to change the oil at least once a year regardless the mileage.
Redline FINALLY confirms Synthetic Oil Extended Drains.
Amsoil has confirmed and marketed this for over 30 years.
After being flamed so often on this website and on other websites for promoting Amsoil Extended Drains, it is nice to read Redline's comments confirming "premium" synthetic oil's capabilities of extending drain intervals.
Thank you Redline!
__________________________________________________
Of course I am particular to Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants.
Amsoil has been in the oil industry for over 30 years, has a superior additive package, and offers extended drain intervals. Amsoil also has an excellent price/performance ratio.
Amsoil comments regarding Extended Drains (in my words):
Due to Amsoil's superior synthetic composition and advanced performance additives, AMSOIL performs much longer than do conventional petroleum and other synthetic motor oils. No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations (whichever comes FIRST, changing the filter every six months).
However, the 25,000 mile /1 year that is on the back of the bottle IS NOT an absolute! One must realize that is for non-severe service (highway miles where you have stable operating conditions) and that the indicated drain interval also has a time period of 1 year maximum as well.
Under a combination of city and highway circumstances, AMSOIL recommends up to 2 or 3 times longer, it means up to 2 or 3 times the equipment manufacturer's recommendation (If your owners manual states 3k miles , then you can change at 9k, and if your owners manual states 5k then 12-15k changes would be alright based on driving habits ... the harder you drive, the sooner the change). Proper filtration is also very important. AMSOIL SDF Oil Filters must be changed at least every 6 months regardless of miles driven.
Notice: Modifications to engine will change service intervals.
Notice: More frequent service may be required under severe service operating conditions.
Notice: For drain interval beyond 3x manufacturers recommendations (especially the 25k change) --- Regular oil analysis is recommended for establishing drain intervals.
AMSOIL --- 30 years of manufacturing oil and mountains of data and tests make these clains possible.
_________________________________________________
Mobil1 is good for an "on-the-shelf" synthetic oil, but it could be better. My brother-in-law owns two Dodge Dealerships in Europe and the European Formulation for Mobil1 there is much better than the U.S. Mobil1 Formulation. It is a weaker formulation in the U.S. to compete price-wise with the other "on-the-shelf" oils. This is my #1 complaint with mobil1. They don't respect the American consumer.
_________________________________________________
There are other 100% synthetics but not as readily available as Redline, Amsoil, and Mobil1. I mentioned these three because they are the "favorite" 100% true synthetics on this site.
