I used Amsoil when I did mine. The squeeze bags they have make changing the fluid a lot easier and it's good oil.

Pros: good oil, easy changing

AMSOIL Engine oil

5K with AMSOIL Signature Series. Any family daily gets the same mileage and quality oil. Yes it\u2019ll cost me a few hundred more over the lifetime of the vehicle, but is worth the peace of mind that if it\u2019s not the best oil you can buy, it\u2019s damn close.

Pros: quality oil
Cons: cost a few hundred
Mileage: 8047 km

Amsoil's biggest 'benefit' is a longer service life. Their additive pack doesn't break down as quickly, so you can run it longer between oil changes. However, if you're paying twice as much and running it twice as long, it's a wash and you're not gaining anything. When I was selling Amsoil, I had a modified 4 banger and a high mileage 24v that had both been running Rotella for the entire time that I owned them before switching to T6 when it was introduced. I pulled UOA samples every 1k miles, then switched to Amsoil Signature after 5k and did the same thing except I pushed the Cummins to 10k. Zero improvement in fuel dilution, wear markers, or carbon build-up. After seeing there was no real-world benefit, I stopped selling it. I won't market a product I don't believe in, let alone one that I see as an outright scam.

Cons: no real-world benefit
Mileage: 10000 km
