Wheatley Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Amsoil is all I use and have been for the past 10 years I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Amsoil is America's 1st synthetic oil, it has been around since the 1970s. Amsoil is great stuff, my 30 vehicle fleet of Chevy vans at work has been running on it for almost two decades........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra ss Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 What i put in the Denali when i changed oil a while back cuz the parts store was out of Royal Purple 5w30 and hands down i like Amsoil a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCountry Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 You guys order it directly from Amsoil? Been thinking of going this route, $65 oil change once a year doesn't sound too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra ss Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I picked mine up and a local shop were i buy 90% of my stuff and got a pretty good deal on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we order direct, usually 6 cases of quarts and 5 cases of gallons at a time with assorted filters too. We run a 7500 mile interval in between each Amsoil full oil & filter change.....

Wheatley Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I am a dealer for amsoil and have been for 10 years,so I order under my account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct model number should be Ea032 if I am not mistaken. In terms of oil change intervals, I would never go more then 5000 miles IMO. We use 7500 at work because our trucks are always running around, and they get the living crap beat out of them. By going that far on a quality synthetic, it greatly decreases down time for routine oil changes. Even with Amsoil, i'd never take my personal vehicle past 5000 miles. I religiously do a full Mobil 1 oil change on my SSS every 3000-4000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymz Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I religiously do a full Mobil 1 oil change on my SSS every 3000-4000 miles. amsoil is a great product... Used it a few times. I'm a hair more partial to Royal Purple however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
