Exclamation Comments about Amsoil

Tranzor_Z28 suggested this oil and I am willing to buy 12 or 18 quartz. But before purchasing I wanted to ask your opinions,experiences guys. Currently using mobile1 5W30.

Thank you

I know I probably will sound biased because I'm selling the stuff... But I hope you and the other guys here in the NW section that know me well would know I certainly wouldn't be selling this stuff (at below retail price for my local NW section friends, at that) if I didn't believe in it. I have no qualms about using it in my own car, and I beat the snot out of it at the race track on a regular basis... well, when the weather gods aren't striking down the track electronics, anyways.

For lots of objective info on Amsoil and how it compares to other oils, go to www.bobistheoilguy.com. Check out their forums and do a search for Amsoil... you'll find lots of favorable comments & reviews about their oils and filters.

The reason you haven't probably heard of it is that it isn't a "main stream" oil like Mobil 1 or Castrol. It's a premium synthetic, along the lines of Redline and Royal Purple... so it usually isn't something you find in the stores, instead, you order direct from suppliers.

The rep that I have spoken with about this oil says it is one of the very few "true" synthetic oils out there. I have heard a lot of good about it and I was thinking about trying it out myself at my next oil change.

I already was in contact with Chuck Holmes and I am now one of the sponsors of the All Camaro/All Chevy show. And I am donating a case of Amsoil XL 10w30 for the raffle.
