I guess all I can add is I've used AMSOIL form the mid 1980's in 4 different cars and liked it. I got really high mileage out of each car with no engine related trouble and the insides of each motor were almost clean enough to eat off of them. No sludge. I have tried Moble1 and I'll admit it was a very good oil I did find I had to add oil more often like it was being burned off faster as the engine didn't leak or burn oil. That issue I didn't like. All I can say is I prefer AMSOIL. It's never let me down though it is costly but I want my motor to be at it's best and keeping it cleaner as well.
The choice to go to AMSOIL has only advantages. I have been using the 5w30 signature series in my 3.0 diesel and 2.0 diesel for a few months now. Less noise from the valves, smoother engine, less consumption. Slightly more expensive this oil but definitely recommended. Quality takes precedence. Before that SHELL HELIX ULTRA 0w30 : also very good but still less than AMSOIL. Greetings and thanks for the nice reviews. PS : you can EASILY remove the spilled oil with brake cleaner, spray it on and then you will see that the oil is gone. This also prevents dust....
Amsoil user here. In 2016, I bought 2013 dodge journey at 85k in miles and sold it at 133k miles before I sold it in 2018. I only did 2 oil changes during the time, no issues and ran very quiet. I was a mobile one user for a while as well, but amsoil is the best in my opinion. With all the tests people have done to compare amsoil to other oils, amsoil comes on top. I put all amsoil products in all my cars. 😎👍
My 01 pt cruiser has been on AMSOIL 0w-30 for going on 2 years and probably could use an oil change. Just in the past year alone its probably gotten 20k+ on it. Looking to change it in the next few weeks and the oil off to get checked out. When i removed the valve cover this past summer to replace the gasket, the motor was extremely clean for having 293k. Looked just as clean as that BMWs motor.
I have used AMSOIL 5w-30 Signature Series up to 62,000 miles over a two-year period without an oil change, however, I was also using an AMSOIL By-Pass Filtration unit plus I had Oil Analysis performed twice during that time period. Vehicle was a 1998 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner, 3.4L, 2X4, it had 404,000 miles on it when I sold it; it was my personal driver for 21 years. Over that 21 year period, I performed 16 oil changes.
Dude yes awesome!!! Everybody's so afraid of extended oil changes now yours is a bit on the extreme side but you had a bypass filter and did analysis so thats pretty awesome but most people dont or wont do analysis shows u how good amsoil really is. but 10K 15K even 25k oil changes with Amsoil is not crazy the days of 3,000 mile oil changes are over you just can't convince some people they waste money and oil awesome story bro thanks for sharing
I've used Amsoil Signature series 0W-40. It was a great oil. Car ran super smooth and much quieter from the beginning to the end of the drain interval. Compared to Mobil 1 0W-40, it feels smooth when you get a fresh oil change but, to me, the Mobil 1 oil felt like it breaks down faster, and the engine loses that smoothness the more miles you rack up. It's the second best oil I've used. The very best I have used was Motul.
You have to be careful in selecting the correct European oil with the required degree of SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfate), so that it doesn’t harm your delicate emissions control systems. Amsoil sells two varieties of 100% synthetic European Motor Oils that Amsoil claims would work for your vehicle, including a 5W-40 FS (EFMQT) and a 0W-40 MS (EFOQT). I would choose the 0W-40, since it possesses a lower Pour Point at -59.8 F and a higher Flash Point at 449.6 F than the 5W-40 oils. You shouldn't have used Amsoil Signature Series for your Mercedes!
Hi there, SN rating means more Calcium to clean the engine. Since the lspi discover SN plus and dexos 1 and 2 means lower Calcium, more boron, moly and sodium to eliminate LSPI. So if your engine doesn't have a turbo you can use a SN or SL oil like Castrol 0w30. Thanks for sharing
as far as time & mileage goes, ran my 2016 lexus nx200t 3 yrs, 2 mos & 2 days, going 23,671 miles... had it tested, only lost a little viscosity... i'm a livery driver, so i'm on road all the time, usually going FAST - 70 / 80 mph... not ever going 2 use anything else, the best oil/fluids there are out there... changed ALL fluids xcept trans... did do a pan drop, changing filter & adding only about a gallon... butt did by a trans machine so i could do others, also... i get in the high 20's into 30's mpg... can't beat that...
Did I misunderstand your comment about the amount of time it takes to get tests results back ? My last sample, the lab emailed my results; had results in six days.
I saw that too. Testing Amsoil is kind of pointless. It's the best, period. Especially when paired with their filters. Save money too. To see a real performance difference, use Amsoil transmission fluid. Unbelievable difference!!
just saw some Russian channel about motor oil, the guy was super excited to get his hands on amsoil signature series for his accord. Bunch of stop and go traffic driving conditions over ~5-6 moths I think about 6500 km (4000 miles) and the oil that came back from the lab was in poor condition with low base number and was basically no different from other synthetic oils he tested. not sure If that's his car or type of driving.
@seangowan7441 - Using non-AMSOIL oil filters with extended drain service AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, AMSOIL inc. recommends up to 12,000 mile or one year, (whichever comes first), oil filter change intervals. But if I may, if there was ever a warranty related issue, it opens a Pandor's box of was it the oil or the filter that failed? For complete warranty protection and a matched combination of industry leading products, I recommend using the AMSOIL Oil Filter with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils. Engines for vehicles today cost many thousands of dollars to replace and it might not make much dollars and cents to use the industry leading "The First in Synthetics" (TM), AMSOIL synthetic motor oil with some other brand of oil filter. I hope that answers your question. - 30 year Independent AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Dealer.
325,000 Mile drains (523,xxx + Kilometers) drains are my personal longest drain interval in an application like this gasoline powerred passenger car. Vehicle now has over 725,000 + miles on it now, that is a bit over 1,166,xxx Kilometers........ AMSOIL is actually free, all you add is miles.
@@keantoken6433 oil analysis tells you how the oil is doing and weather or not you need to change it. Amsoil has hands down beat them all hear.

@Tenza Motorsports - Nice video. I wanted to give you a heads up about the oil you are using in your BMW in this video. With the 2014 BMM x3 with the 3.0 liter 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, (the car in this video), BMW requires a 0W-30 oil meeting the BMW LL-01FE European oil specification. This is an oil specification for the needs of a European car, which are different than for U.S. cars. Selecting a 0W-30 viscosity is only a part of the picture. The AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is a great oil, but it does not meet the BMW LL-01FE oil standard and is not intended to. It's not the correct oil for your BMW. Using an oil that does not meet the oil specifications stipulated by the vehicle manufacturer, (in this case BMW), can cause engine and/or emissions equipment damage and that can be expensive to repair, especially with a BMW. European motor oil standards are entirely different than U.S. motor oil standards. Per the AMSOIL Product Application Guide, the correct AMSOIL synthetic motor oil for this car is the AMSOIL SAE 0W-30 MS Synthetic European Motor Oil, product code; EOT. It meets or exceeds the BMW LL-01FE oil specification. If I may be of further assistance, just let me know. :) - 30 year Independent AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Dealer. P.S. - According to the Mobil website, their Extended Performance motor oils are not BMW LL-01FE rated and are not available in the 0W-30 viscosity.
Hey! Just found your channel, love the E46 man, i'm just wondering what track you race at? You mentioned you lived in Idaho in your walk around video and I live just a state away where there is no tracks! I'd love to make a trip down there and test my E46, thanks in advance!
Mobile 1 use to be a real synthetic oil in the 70s and was advertised as a 25,000 mile oil but Exxon changed the formula when they bought into Mobile .. Extended Performance testing results have been not so great.. The AMS 0w30 came out as a 35,000 mile oil called Series 2000 ..
@VISTORAGE - AMSOIL pioneered the synthetic oil industry for cars and trucks way back in 1972 with the world first 100% synthetic API qualified motor oil. That oil led the industry with up to a 25,000 mile or one year recommended drain interval. Years later, in 1974, Mobile came out with their version of a synthetic, (trying to copy AMSOIL's pioneering lead), and also tried to imitate AMSOIL's up to 25,000 mile/one year recommended drain interval. However, Al Amatuzio, the founder of AMSOIL Inc. said that Mobil started having problems with that drain interval and backed away from it. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. :) - 30 year Independent AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Dealer.

Change at the manufactuers recommendation! So why pay more for a 25,000mi oil when you are going to change it long before that? I will point out the Amsoil only has a Viscosity Index of 162, a bit low for a PAO oil.
try to replace the pcv valve. this is almost aways forgotten as they cause idle, stall and oil consumption conditions. In addition to that try a slightly heavier oil like 5w40. the thicker oil dhould burn slower.
@Feral Man do not need w/AMSOIL... also they do NOT want u 2 add anything 2 their fluids, changes the chemistry... not needed w/AMSOIL products, it is made 2 keep inside CLEAN... my livery driving boss had an '09 prius w/350,000 miles on it... head gasket went bad... wen guy took apart, he could not believe how clean it was... i get 2 miles added wen i use AMSOIL... MORE mpg doing all fluids...
If the name brand of oil is so important, why were there hundred of thousands of Toyotas and Hondas in the 1980s and 90s that went 350k miles, or more, on conventional oil? Go to Wally World, get a synth oil and good filter with good OCI.
Because they are simple engines. These newer engines use GDI, Turbos, and many other technologies that require a higher quality oil that can withstand the stress that the engine puts on the oil.
Studies by Blackstone have shown the brand of oil isn't important. Using oil with the required specifications from the car manufacturer and respecting the required intervals is what did make a difference.
I notice you are using the 0W30, if you car requires OW good, but if it's 5W30, you should have use the 5W. Reason is the Noack volatility. But, Amsoil FTW. th-cam.com/video/CRzKXI1XTSI/w-d-xo.html
I Use amsoil SS 5w30 in my wife's Ford Focus, and the Redline HP 5w30 on my Audi A6. Here, in Spain (Europe) it's no easy, and quite expensive to buy these American oils, but, they are the Best.

@jaiveroargubi - If someone or some store in the U.S. is trying to charge that much for AMSOIL Signature Series synthetic motor oil, in my opinion that is way, way too much.

Use AMSOIL European Formula 5W-40 FS. That’s the oil that’ll make your b58 very happy as it’s not thick like 5-50 and it provides added protection from the high boost and tune.
You should test AMSOIL Signature Series against the Mobil 1 Annual performance, it's the only Mobil 1 that "Might" be able to compete! And the Mobil 1 extended performance should be compared to and "Might" be able to compete with the Amsoil XL! ha ha
I explained why I used what i did in the video. And based on my last testing the Mobil 1 I used is quite capable of keep up with Amsoil. In fact it out preformed Amsoil from the testing I’ve done so far.
AMSOIL OE outperformed Mobil 1 Long Life; AMSOIL Signature Series has 4X more wear protection than AMSOIL OE - don't believe there's any reason to test the best against Mobil 1.

@Feral Man do not need w/AMSOIL... also they do NOT want u 2 add anything 2 their fluids, changes the chemistry... not needed w/AMSOIL products, it is made 2 keep inside CLEAN... my livery driving boss had an '09 prius w/350,000 miles on it... head gasket went bad... wen guy took apart, he could not believe how clean it was... i get 2 miles added wen i use AMSOIL... MORE mpg doing all fluids...
If the name brand of oil is so important, why were there hundred of thousands of Toyotas and Hondas in the 1980s and 90s that went 350k miles, or more, on conventional oil? Go to Wally World, get a synth oil and good filter with good OCI.
We are talking about performance cars, not Hondas.
Because they are simple engines. These newer engines use GDI, Turbos, and many other technologies that require a higher quality oil that can withstand the stress that the engine puts on the oil.
Studies by Blackstone have shown the brand of oil isn't important. Using oil with the required specifications from the car manufacturer and respecting the required intervals is what did make a difference.
Huge difference in engines from that era to now. Even the fuels have changed some.
I notice you are using the 0W30, if you car requires OW good, but if it's 5W30, you should have use the 5W. Reason is the Noack volatility. But, Amsoil FTW. th-cam.com/video/CRzKXI1XTSI/w-d-xo.html
I used the weight bmw recommends
If he lives in a colder temperature area, he SHOULD be using a 0w30 for maximum engine protection at cold start.
Sorry, but the oil you put on your car isn't the specs you have to. Amsoil SS 0w30 is HTHS3.5 The amsoil you've must use is the European cars fórmula
I Use amsoil SS 5w30 in my wife's Ford Focus, and the Redline HP 5w30 on my Audi A6. Here, in Spain (Europe) it's no easy, and quite expensive to buy these American oils, but, they are the Best.
@@hugorof78 - Oils passing U.S. motor oil specifications and oils passing European motor oil specifications are entirely different. Using an oil that does not meet the oil specifications stipulated by the vehicle manufacturer can cause expensive engine and/or emissions equipment damage.
damn oil in USA is so cheap compared to where i live. Full synthetic Mobil 1 costs 18$ per quart in here, and dont ask about amsoil signature series that would be 25$ per quart 😫😫
Wow!
$23 here in new zealand
@jaiveroargubi - If someone or some store in the U.S. is trying to charge that much for AMSOIL Signature Series synthetic motor oil, in my opinion that is way, way too much. The AMSOIL Signature Series has a retail price of $15.49 per quart and the Preferred Customer price is only $11.89 per quart. Volume discounts can also apply saving even more money. I hope this helps you out. - 30 year Independent AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Dealer.
For turbos engine i use 5w 50 Amsoil and i Chance every 10000 khm , i have the b58 440i with 600+ hp and with Supe 0w20 or 0w30 your engine go to Blog dude
5w50 is a little to thick for the b58 I would run redline 10w40 or amsoil amo 10w40 high zinc for 600+hp .
English bro... Supra you have? I switching from 0-20w to 5-40w aimsoil European synthetic in my 21 supra. Stage 2 e55
Use AMSOIL European Formula 5W-40 FS. That’s the oil that’ll make your b58 very happy as it’s not thick like 5-50 and it provides added protection from the high boost and tune.
You should test AMSOIL Signature Series against the Mobil 1 Annual performance, it's the only Mobil 1 that "Might" be able to compete! And the Mobil 1 extended performance should be compared to and "Might" be able to compete with the Amsoil XL! ha ha
I explained why I used what i did in the video. And based on my last testing the Mobil 1 I used is quite capable of keep up with Amsoil. In fact it out preformed Amsoil from the testing I’ve done so far.
AMSOIL OE outperformed Mobil 1 Long Life; AMSOIL Signature Series has 4X more wear protection than AMSOIL OE - don't believe there's any reason to test the best against Mobil 1.
@@TenzaMotorsports m1 is not 100% synthetic, as AMSOIL is & always has bin... altho m1 extended mite be, all the rest r simply over processed real oil... almost lost a vette engine using m1... not good... fyi, i use & sell AMSOIL... i could tell difference driving 1 block f/my mechanic shop...
It’s your prerogative. Your car your money.
Amsoil, the preferred oil by used car salesmen who believe in Ponzi schemes. It’s a high quality oil no doubt, but the distributors are the biggest used car salesmen ever!
I’ve heard that argument a lot
AMSOIL is not a ponzi scheme. That's illegal. AMSOIL uses network marketing, which is endorsed by the Federal Trade Commission. Network marketing is used by many successful companies. Making false claims that damage a company is libel and that is against the law. Attorney's fee's can run into many thousands of dollars.
@@TenzaMotorsports - Yes, by people that have no idea what they are talking about and in so doing, committing libel against a company and that is against the law.
