    Yep, Suzy's been strictly fed nothing but Amzoil since about 20k in every orfice that will accept oil, with the exception of the S/C, which uses the GM synth.

    I tried Mobil1 one time, when I was drawn to the bargain side of the force...

    I noticed more valve noise with that experiment & have never looked back.

    I still change my engine oil & filter every 3-4 k, & will let my trans & diffs go an extra 5-10 k past reco'd intervals.

    That's what works for me...

    And YES...it DOES offer continued protection whilst lazing about in a tub...

    Well the fact that most of their tests are direct comparisons against Royal Purple tell you that's who they consider their major competitor. Also, could be slightly biased since they only show you the tests where they come out on top.

    I know in the Lotus forum there have been some pretty hot debates on oils... but I've never heard any of those members suggest Amsoil. Most go with Royal Purple it seems. This coming from autoX and track racers who do push their cars to high temp situations.

    Track racers etc put high stress each time and changr their oil or at least should every time they race or run laps. They are not doing the 3000 mile or longer change exchange
