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

Personally if I'm running a synthetic, I want a synthetic.....
Things that are "engineered" are still organic bases with a lot of additives in them. Highly refined, yes, but still carbon based. The whole idea with synthetics is the oil stretches like a plastic bag does when sheered. That's instead of tearing like a paper bag does. Oil works the same way. And I've personally witnessed Mobil 1 filled cars spin bearings when completely topped up with oil. That, among other things that I've seen tells me the bearing film isn't offering protection when you need it. Frankly, with the standards now, even "junk" oil is fine for normal driving. But I'm not a normal driver, the G's, the sloshing, the high RPM, the heat. If you aren't going to have a problem then any oil, be it Mobil 1, or $.99/quart Mobil junk will be fine. The proof is when something happens like Sean had. And FWIW, Exxon/Mobil can kiss my ass. |
