Default I Just switched from M1 to Amsoil (POLL)

i went over to amsoil from m1 a week ago. do you think it was a good idea? i'm not sure yet, but the fact i spent 30 bucks to change my oil i think its worth it! also, my motor has 92k on it....with some leaks and a possible crossover of fuel. i also have done the PCV mod to seperate the oil from the air

Eh...I put Mobil 1 synthetic in everything me or my dad own. Lawnmowers, dirtbikes, boat...Pretty much everything. I found out real quick that race motors like non-synthetic though....

i bought it with 87k on it, 1st oil change was with M1 becuase the current oil shop i worked at gave me a discount on it, and that was their best stuff. Where i work at now, i get Amsoil for buying price, with no labor charges, so it comes out to about 32 bucks for 5.5qts.
