Amsol

A while ago Redover posted about going to Amsol.

I began using Mobile 1 shortly after that. Yesterday I picked up a couple of cases of Amsol after checking prices. Darned if it isn't about half the price of Mobile 1 and I think it's better oil.

I'll change it tomorrow and see if the gas mileage improves.

Peter what did you have to give @ qt.  When I started using it in 2002 it was about $6 qt.  Now it is close to $10.  Not to bad if your using 5-6 qts but at 15 qts for my truck it is quite pricey. The up side is that you only have to change the filter @ 12,500 and complete change at 25K.   You should also notice easier start-up's.

It was $7.33 for the long life 10W40 John.

They have three  grades. This was the expensive one but I can go up to a year without changing it (I forgot the number of miles but we didn't drive that much).

There was a $20.00 a year membership fee but we have enough vehicles that I figured it was worth it. A motorcycle, two ATV's, two trucks, two SUV's and a Focus.

My Bronco is the wild card. It has over 200,000 on it and does use a little oil but Amsol claims using it doesn't cause more oil consumption.

I use 15W40 in the truck.   They make a cleaner (pint/quart) to flush out the older oils prior to using their oil.  I also use their filters.  I believe it was about $15 for the deisel if my recollection is correct.
