I'm getting mine changed next week it's been 5K and I had to add some as I was 1Qt low for some reason. Weird stuff. Luckily I have free oil changes at the dealer until 45K- unfortunately this will be my last.

Isn't that a bit excessive? I mean obviously you aren't doing any harm, except to your wallet.

Wow i am so glad that i change my oil every 3000 miles eventhough the AMSOIL i use is almost $10/qrt...

Enjoy your new stroker! and a question!

Why most of the guys who blow their engines, usually rod bearing failure go with the strokers and not a built 2 liter?

2.3

I have a ams 2.3 w/ 35r and everything else to compliment. I love my set up, I still check my oil every gas fillup. Too bad that didn't help my clutch

well the dealer says change it every 3k miles. Thats for a stock evo. So u have to think about if u have mods on ur car and drive it hard the oil breaks down faster. Thats why i do mines so much and plus i get it for 10 dollars

Anyone out there that has the AMS stroker got any tips or opinions?

probably upgrade the crank and rods for starters.

You obviously dont know much. Upgrade the rods and crank for starters? Well first off why would you touch all that and not the pistons,lol? Also a 2.3 comes with a new crank. So you gonna have a new crank,rods and stock pistons?LOL
