Doesn't FP recommend Amsoil?.... might switch after I get the new turbo in it... Loved Mobil1 for years now

What I hate is when they start offering more crap to sell you.... Just do what I ask dammit!

If you've loved mobil 1 for years why switch now, I think the oil stuff is all marketing... I've ran mobil 1, ams oil, rotella, damn near everything, in motors ive had Never notice a difference once the block was apart

The 15w-50 is the only mobil1 oil that has high zinc and phosphorus counts. It is also not a gl-4 so it has less detergents in it.

I would only switch brands if the oil I was using would mess up my new turbo... And FP was talking about parts in the turbo... not so much the block and head...
