Actually I don't buy into the marketing hype. Harvick is just another schmuck to me.
I've used Mobil 1 since Harvick was in first grade.

 


I’ve used Mobil1 for years as well until one day I looked into the Full Synthetic versus 100% labeling and was SHOCKED at just how misleading the Full Synthetic was, no where near the protection of a true 100% synthetic base stock oil and yet Mobil1 was more expensive per quart than Amsoil.

Research and you’ll find that Amsoil Signature Series is at least 4X better than Mobil1, completely beating Mobil1’s Annual Protection.

Oil companies in this country, manipulating everything, whether its politics or transportation, cost of traveling, tires, food etc etc.

Amsoil is 100% Synthetic from base stock oil throughout the 100% Synthetic Additives, Mobil1 is made from much cheaper (Dino Oil) mixed with 100% Synthetic Additives.

Amsoil clearly is the BIG WINNER here.


So at 4X more Protection and cheaper to buy, Amsoil has made a lifer of me.

Except nobody in their right mind buys it in 1 qt bottles for doing oil changes.  You buy 5 qts for $30cdn (less in USD) for Mobil1.  Amsoil only sells in their 1qt things, and it's more than double the cost.

Actually, AMSOIL has gallons, 2.5 gallons, 30 gallon drums, 55 gallon drums, 275 gallon tots available on some of their products.   Like for the Duramax crowd that uses 10qts.  You can get a case, (2ea of 2.5 gallon jugs) and that will do 2 oil changes and the cost per qt is less buying it that way.    Also like in our 2016 Suburban which is 8qts or 2 gallons.  I just pour in 2 gallons of the ASM 0w-20 no extra left over from a 5qt container.  Easy peazy!

I know several agricultural business that own 3/4 million $ equipment (Ponsse Scorpions with MB diesels) and AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 is all they use + AMSOIL Off-road grease. As one of them told me, before the AMSOIL grease they were constantly replacing bearing and suffered a lot of down time.  The min oil change interval per manf. is 600 hrs (min) on 8 gallons.

I don’t buy based on how cheap it is, I buy it basing on Protection and if it’s in quarts then so be it. You’re buying oil that is half the price because you’re buying the cheaper quality, less protective oil. Amsoil is actually cheaper than the highest quality Mobil1 Annual Protection which is offered with stringer synthetic cleaners. Moving on, stick to what makes you happy, Amsoil isn’t for the budget buying individual that’s just looking to meet specs, it’s for people wanting the most available protection between oil changes giving less wear and tear on their engines throughout the duration.

You’re correct, protect your investment and If you want to just use what’s recommended then that’s everyone’s option but if keeping it going with less wear and tear from the highest available protection then Amsoil is a no brainer, especially high dollar machinery.

Let’s focus here, started this thread showing proof that Amsoil is the best and why I recommend it so much. I’m not at all associated with Amsoil, it’s made a huge difference for me and the way my vehicle runs. So, this being said, there’s no need to bring up low price oil because this thread is about the best oil and what makes it the best.

 

Whether you’re buying oil that just meets specs or because you’re looking to get more bang for your buck, Amsoil Signature Series completely blows away the competition.

Ever wonder why are big oil companies using regular base oil with 100% synthetic additives (which is what Full Synthetic is) when you can have real 100% synthetic base oil with 100% synthetic additives.....You get what you pay for, superior protection between oil changes!

Here's VIRGIN Mobil 1 0W20 Annual Protection. Looks about the same additive wise as any $3 CONVENTIONAL. Actually…..it is below universal averages. There's some ZZDP numbers that will take your breath away. Crisco?

Folks, as even the video states, there are those that you, no one can reason with. Immediately jumping into a discussion explaining that Amsoil saves you money on extended oil changes. Most people that care about their motors will do oil changes at 5K miles, Amsoil is 25k guaranteed oil for normal driving and 15k for heavy duty use. So, immediately you can see the the savings doing a 10k mile oil change. What takes the typical driver a minimum of 4 quarts per 1 of Amsoil and that’s 4 quarts of Mobil1’s finest (Annual Protection) not the basic Mobil1 Full Synthetic which competes with Crisco.

 

Amsoil offers minimum 4X more protection of Mobil1’s leading oil “Annual Protection”, so if you cannot immediately see the benefits of choosing not only the highest protection rated motor oil currently available then you REALLY shouldn’t speak out because this isn’t about comparing Mobil1’s lower priced full synthetic it’s about highest rated against Amsoil.

Remember, this discussion is about the protection given by Amsoil when compared to leading Full Synthetics, costing you minimum 4 oil changes to every 1 of Amsoil which in return saves you lots of money.

I'll use my Quaker State Ultimate Durability "full synthetic" I bought for $3 a guart after rebate and I'll be fine. Change it 4-5k (twice a year), truck will last as long as I need it.

Guys beg for PROOF and when they get it ignore it. Read the comments section of this report. Pay attention to them. 

Zinc, Phosphorus and TBN. 

 

There is nothing there that even remotely suggest this is a 20,000 oil. 

Mobil/Exxon is a marking company.

Here’s the filter I highly recommend Wix XP, it’s a fully synthetic material that captures small as 20-21 microns, complimenting Amsoil Signature Series.

Double Check to make sure it’s for your year and engine.

    • In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.
    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations. 
    • You don't want to become predictable now, do you? 😏
    • Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
