Default How would you rate Amsoil?

How would you rate Amsoil synthetics compared to other leading brands( mobil 1, etc)?

And what product do you use!

It is a very good oil but don't buy into all of their hype. For one, they always show their oil on the 4 ball wear test compared to other oils, but Shampoo scores good on that test, would you run that in your crankcase? No. Mobil 1 SuperSyn is showing very good oil analysis results, just as good or better than Amsoil.

And Amsoil is NOT a 25,000 mile oil by any means. Only in extremely rare situations can it go that long. Usually by 15k the TBN of the oil is too low to properly protect your engine against acids.
