The WIX filters are a great filter..i usually perfer using the EA Amsoil filters with the Amsoil products.....lasts as long as the oil.....

I usually recommend the WIX filter over the AMSOIL filter, as most EVO owners either run them hard on the Street, or Track their cars frequently, and the WIX filter will have less of a chance of going into by-pass.
I am working up some 1 Micron Filter Kits to help keep the oil analytically clean and not going into bypass, plus adding HP due to less restriction. If anyone is interested, before I put too much time into this, let me know what you think @ oildoc@bestoil4you.com On the subject of the Eneos Oil, I have had people say that they come up with lifter tick in that 2000-2500 mile range. My personal feeling is that they have to use too much VI Improver to have the broad Viscosity range, as their base stocks may not be able to carry it. The AMSOIL 0W-30, Product Code SSO, is The Top of the Line with a TBN of over 13. TBN is the ability of the oil to Neutralize acidity, not it's detergency. AMSOIL SSO is Highly Recommended for The EVO. Doc oildoc@bestoil4you.com Toll Free Ordering 1-877-356-6099 Free 6 Month Prefered Customer Membership with Qualifying Orders. |
I just put some of this stuff in my car...so far feels identicle to Amsoil on start up and drives the same smoothness. I'll be on the track in 6 weeks, and I'll report how the car feels then.
So far, so good. |

SSO like i said earlier is one of the best products. I run SSO in my race car and never had a single problem.....{thumbup} |

Thanks.... What filters (air/oil) are you running ? We also have air filters that are the cone style. They flow as well as a Wetted Gauze and Filter up to 50 times better... No messy washing and reoiling.. vacuum cleaner or light air pressure. Doc |
Another update....Coming up to 1500 miles on the oil, and still no ticking or any issues. The car feels just as it did with Amsoil when I ran it. I've also done some very cold starts, clsoe to 0 degree temps outside, and the car started with no issues. So far, I'm really liking the Eneos 0w-50, but who knows....I may come back to Amsoil eventually :lol:.

Too thick of an oil for a stock clearance engine.. Takes away HP, fuel mileage and increases oil temps.

doc.. wassup with all these 'x oil brand' vs Amsoil' lately... ha ha
n |
People feel the need to try and prove something else is better :confused: Somebody is always trying to take down the top dawg. When you can buy Amsoil from Doc for only a tiny bit more than M1 from Wal Mart its a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

hey guys, I like the schaeffers oil, it is the only oil with polyalphaolefin
I would like to see the following ASTM Tests for Shaeffers.... D-4742 D-4683 D-5800 D-97 D-4172 D-5293 D-2896 I would also just Love to see ANY Documentation from "Shaeffers" Stating that fact. Which I know is absolutely impossible as it is nothing more than a Fabrication (LIE) on your part. Doc |
