Any Amsoil Users Here?
Yes, I drank the Kool-Aid many moons ago when it pertains to my Cummins Diesel. Preferred Member since 2005, w wholesale price abilities.
Yes, I've had samples taken at 20k miles which come out solid (Independent Source).
Yes, they make a Fully Snythetic 5w-30 with 15k Filter Life which can be had for....less than Mobil1.
Do we have any Amsoil Fans here. Haters? lol.

No worries buddy. Just breakin ***** Doc. Do you mean that you DID try using it at one time, but didnt like it?
Spam- forgive my ignorance, but exactly what is "Biosyn" oil?
I wasnt about to create the millionth "What's the best oil" Thread here like happens so often, but can't say I know what "Biosyn" is buddy? Not new to Oil Products whatsoever, and can honestly say Amsoil has done wonders for my Diesel Rig - And used nothing but Mobil 1 Full Synthetic on all previous Lexus vehicles. Matter of fact, isnt that what Lexus Dealers use in cars now during each service?
Open question to ALL on that??

There was a huge thread between the performance difference in oil and I believe biosyn was the most positive type of oil from that forum. I am not an expert on cars but whatever the pros use, I go with it if it is backed up by scientific claims, which biosyn was proven.

I'm Open To It
Hi Gunny,

And which hole does the oil go in?

This is completely unproven. Amsoil has been proven.

It also claims to provide 75% better wear protection than required by the API SN specification (though it does say that claim is in reference to their 0W20 Amsoil Signature Series synthetic). And it claims 50% more cleaning power than Amsoil OE motor oil.

phos = TBD
moly = TBD
This oil was tested Fall 2017.
The psi value of this oil, which came from testing it at the normal operating test temperature of 230*F, put it in the FANTASTIC Wear Protection Category. And it produced the highest psi value ever seen in my testing, from any 5W30 motor oil just as it comes right out of the bottle, with no aftermarket additives. Very impressive. My test results confirm that Amsoil’s claim of this oil providing exceptional wear protection, is true. This oil could well be “THE MOTOR OIL OF CHOICE” for most High HP engines, including Bad Boy traditional American flat tappet pushrod engines, or for virtually any engine where 5W30 is used.
And I also went on to test this oil at the much higher temperature of 275*F. At that elevated temperature, any hotter and thinner oil is expected to experience a drop in Wear Protection Capability. This oil had only a modest 7% drop in capability. But, even at that elevated temperature, it produced an impressive 124,573 psi, which still kept this much hotter and thinner oil in the FANTASTIC Wear Protection Category.
In addition, I also tested this oil at 130*F, which is an oil temperature in the middle of the range of the Sequence IVA Wear Test (ASTM D6891) = 123,882 psi, which still had it in the FANTASTIC Wear Protection Category, even though this value is about an 8% drop from the normal 230*F test temperature’s psi value. NOTE: An engine warming up, will transition right past this temperature as it heats up to its normal operating temperature.
