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

My LT4 does that on M1, wonder if switching to Amsoil/Redline would help with that?
I ran M1 in my LT1 from the first change at 1400 miles to around 98K miles. It always had a bit of clatter at all temps and some piston slap when cold. Never really gave it much thought since I got pretty good oil analysis results with M1.

I then changed to Redline (same viscosity - 5W30). ALL clatter and slap ceased.

I have no tech beyond my personal experience. The damn engine is quieter now at 107,000 miles than it was at 107 miles.

FWIW I still run M1 in my truck and the wife's GTP. These vehicles see too many miles for me to justify using mail order oil in them. Oil analysis results look just fine and neither one of them gets driven near as hard as my car anyway. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
