Amsoil works well in anything really. I use amsoil SSO and an EAO oil filter, amsoil air filter, amsoil ATF in my T56 and amsoil severe gear in my rear.

I've used Amsoil in both my vehciles since 2004. no issues! I change it about every 6K miles on the camaro, 11-12K on the Oldsmobile. I use their filters as well. Great products.

they make good products. I run them in my motorcycle and lawn tractor. However do not run Amsoil in any GTO diff unit. it will cause issues. I had it in mine & a customers. My customer's diff started making noise & luckily it was still under warrenty & GM replaced his. I switch mine out & it quit making noise almost instantly- amsoil could not answer why & paid for the new GM diff fluid & labor to switch it out.

Run Amsoil in my 5.3 Silverado. 7500 miles between changes.

I'd run it in the camaro too but my lt1 loves to leak oil, so I can't justify spending the dough on the good stuff just to watch it stain the driveway.

people are very touchy on their oil for no reason. for every plus, someone has a minus. Just use what you want, weather you pay out the nose for it or just a few bucks.

Too expensive for me. I use Mobil 5w30. It works fine. I always keep my oil fresh though.
