Amzoil is easy to find around here as well. The Rural King and Big R stores carry it. my friend has been using Amzoil in his motorcycles and lawnmowers for years. He suggests 20/50W. I remember when Amsoil was sold by people who signed up to be a "dealer". It was sorta like being an Amway distributor. I have a friend who's an Amsoil dealer, and another dealer living a couple blocks down the road. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, juvenile name-callers, and narcissists...not guns! |

I would rather use regular dino oil and change it regularly. The main claim of synthetics and premium oil is extended change intervals. The reality is modern engines will outlast the vehicle they are in most of the time, even if they are ignored. I don't think the "main" claim for synthetic oil is extended change intervals. Synthetics are vastly superior to dino oil. Better retention of viscosity at low and high temperature extremes is the primary benefit. Most manufacturers specify synthetics now for new cars. Like I said, how many cars are junked because of oil related failures? There is a reason people buy junkyard motors. That is perhaps the only big part that is there and still worth using. |

They bring a lawn mower engine with a lexan cutout in the crank case and they run it without oil for a few minutes, unloaded. Then he Amzoils it for next time |

Do you think that the Mobile 1 at Walmart is somehow defective? He's not happy with the mileage he's getting from his 'Ducati' with the Mobil 1.

Its not the oil. Oil doesn't wear out. The additive package wears out and the oil gets dirty. Theoretically changing filters and adding supplementary additives should do the trick. I would rather just get the contaminants out of there. Additives are just ****ing on the fire how would you get multiweight oil without additives? |

That is particularly true in my boat. The range in operating temperature between start up and running hard will be less than 70 degrees. You still want the additives to deal with the various contaminants that develop in the oil but I would not over depend on that. |
