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

I run XYZ and haven't had an issue or the color/smell is nice. Oil can be black and have a lot more life left or it can be amber and ready to be changed.
I run the german made 0w30 Castrol Syntec year round. It's provided the best oil analysis results in my particular car (and a lot of other LT1/LS1 cars) for my use. Mobil 1 did a decent job as well, but it could've been better. I've been meaning to switch over to Redline and run an analysis on it, but the numbers I have right now are awfully good so I haven't had much motivation. QUOTE The tests I'm referring to include the 4 ball wear test, the Noack volatility test, the pour point, flash point, and fire point. The other numbers I looked at were the viscosity ratings on the cst scale. I'd challenge the validity and relevance ofthose tests in indicating how an oil will perform in an actual car. But I too trust used oil analysis more than anything. It isn't the end all and be all, but it holds a lot more water than those lab tests. |
