Anyone here have any experience with Amsoil products? I'm a little curious about their PS fluid, and motor oil.

In 1980, we bought a "Buck" woodstove (my parents did). In reading the book, dad stumbled across the note that you are supposed to pull the unit, remove the fan and motor and lube the motor with oil (due to the extreme heat seen by the blower on the back of the firebox). They specifically told you to use Mobile 1 for this purpose. So, for about 20 years, dad had a can (yes a real can) with an oil spout shoved in it sitting on the shelf in our garage. It worked great on that stove and never seemed to mind the extreme heat (and this was the 1980 forumulation). M1 has been making oil for a long time and if they are not the best, they surely are not the worst. I run it because it works for me in my applications. I'd rather run Redline, but I'm cheap. I'd consider Amsoil, but it's too frustrating to get it. I tend to buy oil on "oil change day" (which was last night in our VW) and not in advance. That alone pretry much rules out Amsoil for me.
