Ok so if I understand right are you insighting that if we don't use amsoil for dd our motors will break because valvoline, brad penn,joe gibbs etc is not to par with yours? I chose a street based oil being vr1 with a higher zink and phosphorus count then amsoil not full race as talon showed Valvoline VR1 NSL is a racing oil not the basic VR1 or VR1 Synthetic. I would be inclined to get amsoil if it were offered say local or like the VR1 at amazon which gives wholesale price plus cheaper shipping and if your a amazon prime member free 2 day or 3.99 for overnight.

 

No, he's telling you to get the best oil you can for your application, and he believes that you're not doing that with non-synthetic VR1. It's like tuning your Evo at the limit on 93 octane and then filling it up with 89 octane. Would you do that to save 15 cents a gallon?!?! I would hope not. The engine will not appreciate it, and it will wear down quicker. I think someone made the point best when he said you're confusing oil life with oil protection.

 

Well I already said im switching to synthetic vr1 once I do the next oil change im going to flush the mobile 1 out and also see about getting some gunk engine flush and clean the motor out a little and then use the VR1 Synthetic. It was wreakless969 that said it clear synthetic sticks better for DD and does not settle like conventional oil.

 

Just bought a case of 12 from Amsoil 10w40 AMO. The VR1 I could get was the NSL and I am not changeing my oil every 500 miles lol.

 

Nice ams oil is great I also like the of the shelf r/p 10w40 very high molly count and zinc/around 1,400 or more and easy to find.

 

I can't find amsoil anywhere unless I pay retail for it and I am not going to pay 10 bucks a quart lol.

 

Any one notice any difference running a different weight oil say example going from 10w 30 to 10w 40 on stock internals?

I recently switched and everything runs fine but for some reason WOT just doesnt feel exactly the same. Almost like like the weight is a little on the thick side for factory tight clearances and is holding back 15 whp. Maybe its in my head but I am very sensitive to my car and any slight changes that ever occur.

Something I also noticed is there is a little less crank pressure from the valve cover vents with the 40 weight. I think I will switch back to a 30 weight and see what happens.

 

sorry you didnt look good enough then. you can buy a membership on their site and get 20-25% off instantly. I can get the 20w50 premium synthetic for $6.50 a quart locally. it pays to have patience and research!

For anyone that cant access it easy get it from apagan01

 

I got the membership I pay 6.00 a quart from amsoil but local shops sell at 10.00 a quart and im not driveing to richmond va for it that's 3+ hrs of driveing. I paid 94.69 shipped from amsoil if apagen01 can do better ill order wit him.


BluEVOIX if I don't like it im going back to non synthetic VR1 it feels real good so far better then mobil 1 10w30 so we'll see.

 

you got Product Code: AMOQT-CA right? thats 6.57 a quart for a box of 12. no way you paid 6 dollars even. We both get the same discount if you got the 6 month membership. so that means you paid about $16 bux shipping. Id say thats not bad. Theres no way I see that price getting beat.

Also you cant compare this oil to VR1, this oil ****s on VR1 big time.

 

Its was 6.95 I paid 3.xx taxes and 11.xx shipping I got the one year deal.

 

Do you mean you paid $22.69 for shipping that case of 12 from Amsoil?

 

can you check exactly what it is, im curious if the one year deal gets more discount then 6 months. seems like it does. for your oil its showing me 6.95 a quart without buying the box of 12. whats the price it shows you?

EDIT NEVERMIND LOL. your edit answered my question

 

With taxes it was almost 15-16 bucks.

 

dont want to sound dumb, but people actually experienced better ring seal with this amsoil vs other oils. I know i have. Its expensive stuff, but its worth it.
