Amsoil is a real brand name oil. in some situation their gear lubes
can be very good. I like their engine oils but only in LPG engines or
extreme cold. Other synthetics the same applies. I would never use
synthetics in a diesel or in any engine with a lot of time/miles on
regular oil on it since OH. Also I would never use it on an engine
running heavily leaded fuels. Even running 10% 100LL in my R80 BMW
motorcycle I won't use it. I no longer have to do that since I had my
heads twinplugged but now I will stick with Aeroshell until teardown.
(Which will be after I get my second engine majored and in the bike.)
Among synthetics i have used Amsoil, Mobil and Klotz. They all are the
same.

Nope, they sure as hell aren't all the same. Amsoil will void any
manufacturers warranty out there. It is total snake oil garbage.
I read the 'spamsoil' page and they say 'when' the maker of your vehicle
voids your blown engine's warranty for using the unapproved oil, you can
send it to them and if 'they' decide the fault was their oil they will
replace the engine. LOL! Ya right, like they can find fault with their
crap.
A spamsoil sales droid gave me a case of the crap when he finally gave
up trying to find suckers. I refuse to us it in any vehicle I own so I
tossed the ---- out to the recycle.
