Amsoil or Not

I recently purchased an 08 Tundra Limited 133000 miles. based on records it was maintained faithfully . what is opinion on switching from conventional oil to amsoil or synthetic ? I imagine it can't hurt it. How many miles between changes with amsoil? I have heard guys doing 6-8000 and some even going 15-20,000 .

 

Oh my...

 

Not.

 

OIL THREAD RAWR!!!!!

 

I do 10k on my 04 4.7 running Valvoline 0w-20 currently. Has 198k on it right now with no leaks.

Wouldn't run Amsoil just because it's not readily available to me and more expensive than what I'm currently using with no issues .

 

You most likely have synthetic oil already...

 

Welcome from Colorado...just go with Mobile 1 and be done with it....

 

Ams it! Amsoil is the best.

 

Even if amsoil is the best, unless you can easily buy it local you don’t need it. there are 5 oils at your local store almost as good.

 

....maybe more

 

who knows they might all come out of the same spigot at some massive plant!

 

.....not too far off there. You can probably count them on one hand

 

Im in South central pa which is a huge area for Sprint car racing, stock car racing and other divisions so Amsoil is more than available to me. Seems like every guy with a garage is a distributer. Off topic here buy We won our race Friday night at local track.

CONGRATS On the WIN BUD!!

I’m in Westminster been to trail-ways a lot throughout the years- I used to “pit” for a buddy of mine when he raced street stock & thunder cars

 

You’re not gonna get better than Amsoil. Base stocks(Group 4/true synthetic) are better than the stuff slung at wal mart. Its made in USA. Take my money.

That being said, nothing wrong with M1, Penn etc. On a street engine driven under street conditions, you’ll never know the difference.

 

Very interesting. I have used Super Tech previously and had migrated to Mobile 1. I will probably migrate back to Super Tech............

 

FWIW you can get Mobil right now for $23 at WM then send in a rebate for $10. Good until the end of September on up to 4 5qt bottles.

 

I had my oil changed with Walmart super tech back in March and the truck runs great, the same as it did on mobil1. Why pay more money when super tech is api sn plus certified. Regardless of which oil brand you choose it’s wise to stick to the change intervals and you should be golden.
