Running Toyota I6 motors with turbochargers on AMO 10W40. Motors are very clean inside, running smooth and quiet. It's quite expensive in Europe, but who bought something best in its category and cheap?

Love this oil, the full synthetic oil I was using can not even hold a candle to AMSOIL. The engine runs so smooth and much more quietly : )
I also went from a 5w30 to the 10w40 for the summer, will change back to the 5w30 for the
winter.
When I'm ready for a transmission fluid change I'm changing over to AMSOIL too.

Bought this oil for our 2015 Scag Cheetah, so far it's amazing, it seems to run way better, and for some reason it doesn't pop anymore when starting it. It has a 31 hr Kawasaki motor . Our dealer told us to use 20 w50 in it, now I gotta cross reference the oil filter and order some.

Product does wonders in the evo. The turbo requires high zinc so this does the job.

This Amsoil Motor Oil is used in a track car that constantly see's high RPM pulls on a road race course. Works well and oil temps seem to stay steady throughout a 20-30 minute session. Am pleased with the product and will continue to use it. It's what I would call "cheap insurance".

The Amsoil high zinc formula is all i use in my bbc. This oil holds up to the heat and high compression of my street/strip motor.

I will continue to purchase nothing but AMSOIL for all our lubrication needs. Classic cars, snowmobiles, 4 wheelers, and our daily drivers. Gas and diesel. And dont forget the boats. It's one place for everything, shipped to my door.

The absolute best of the best. I use it in everything. Every engine I use this oil in has never given me any kind of oil related problems. If you want your engines to last this is the oil to use.

I changed from the boosted version which lowered my my oil pressure way to much. Now my oil pressure never drops below 40 psi. With the boosted version it dropped to the 25 psi.

I've been using this oil for 10 years in my 1995 BMW 325 which is a track/race car only. I put about 2000 miles a year on it and change the oil once a year. The engine is very happy runs like a top and I have 125,000 miles on it.

I'm 65 years old and have been into automotive lubricants since I was a teenager. Out of all of the Automotive lubricants I have purchased and tested over the years. Nothing surpasses Amsoil products. Unlike most, I still change my engine oils at 3000 miles. That being said, I own a 1988 BMW M5 with almost 200K miles which still runs like it just rolled off the show room floor. There are many other brands and types of oils I consider to be excellent but nothing come close to Amsoil. It's the most trust high grade lubercants I have found to date and will NOT use any other brand.

I put this in my 2002 base model Corvette, and:
-became the overall Top Eliminator at the NCCC convention 2017. (although I'm not a drag racer)
-Finished 2nd in Autocross.
-Set at track record at Putnam Park race way.
-Ran all day - two days in a row- at a track event at NCM.
with all the things to worry about when racing a street car, I can check Oil and Engine concerns off the list.

My modified Subaru makes over 100 hp per cylinder so I need a very stout oil. This stuff pours like water, but has a very high viscosity at high temps. It also has loads of zinc and phosphorus which makes it perfect for high horsepower applications, turbo engines, and american hot rods.

Previously used Mobile 1 for years, but the specifications changed over time and didn't meet the GM specs for the engine. I transitioned to Amsoil and the engine ran even quieter and I know it's getting the proper lubrications that GM intended for the DOHC LT5.

Wonderful oil for older engines that can use it. I routinely run it for years at a time in my tractor and pickup. Neither uses any oil.

There are no other decent high-quality 20W50 oil products around for this price. Cannot think of a better value, at least on West Coast. Engine runs just as dependably, even out of a tire slide, as when brand new.

Have used Amsoil products (used to sell it) since 1974 in all of our better vehicles and farm equipment.
With annual or semi-annual changes of engine oil, never an issue related to lubrication and sludge or varnish buildup is a thing of the past.

I have been using Amsoil in my cars that I drag race for 12 years...never an issue....Amsoil is by far the Gold standard of motor oils .

This oil has a very strong cleaning aspect. When I drained the oil the first time I used it in a motorcycle with 17000 miles on it, it came out looking like thick almost gloppy molasses. Very black and quite thick. Subsequent oil changes have resulted in the oil coming out much cleaner. So much so that I can see light through the stream of oil as it is draining from the engine. I recently removed a side cover to inspect the clutch plates. The inside of the engine is clean like it was new. I'm very happy with this product.

Not the cheapest, just the best. After tearing down my motor after 250hr for rebuild/refresh, my rod, cam, and crank bearings still looked new. Keep in mind this isn't a pampered motor. It gets run hard, yet the rebuild seemed completely unnecessary.

My application is a 2013 Toyota RAV4 with 15k miles. I use 10w-40 Amsoil and change just once a year since I normally drive about 3800 miles a year anyway using Amsoil Full Synthetic..
I feel more confident using this and changing it myself the first several years as opposed to letting Toyota change it for FREE with regular oil every 6 months. Basically I can do it myself once a year and still save time from waiting around at a stealership lobby and have confidence I will not sludge up ever with better protection. Not to mention I know I do it right and tighten everything back up.
I personally had
some bad experiances in the past and do not trust them working on my car since I bought it new. One time the spark plugs were apparently never tightened as an example on another new car we purchased during a service.

I've tried all the good stuff - from "German Castrol" to Redline to Royal Purple to Rotella etc.
From 0w to 50w in all kinds of weather.
From the '62 max wedge Savoy to the '88 w150 roller 318 - this oil works best for my Mopars whether it's the Canadian winter or the West Texas summer.
Good pressure at hot idle, excellent flow and fast cranking in -40 (good battery helps).
My tweaked '81 high compression W150 is my daily driver and gets 13/18 mpg with non ethanol Shell 91 and Amsoil AMO.
I don't bother with UOA of Amsoil anymore, this oil is always on top.
I change the oil and filter once a year and it doesn't need topping up between changes unless
I'm towing 3000 miles to TX in the summer - about a pint.
Anne & Alex Farkas give me personalized service - thanks folks!
