[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1903661, member: 3099"] I'm also an Amsoil dealer and run it in everything I own. I've been using it for over 12 years now. I've ran as long as 30k miles between changes, only changing the filter at 10k intervals and topping it off, but that was almost all interstate driving. I now run it 1 year or 15K because I'm not driving the miles I was back then. That car went well past 200k before it cracked a head and it had Amsoil's full synthetic in from it's 1st change. Yes it had some leaks but what engine with 200k doesn't? For the naysayers I had to change the upper and lower intake gaskets at 175K miles. When I pulled the lower intake off I found ZERO sludge. The stuff just works. The Ford Edge I bought after that one had right at 94k on the clock when I bought it a little over a year ago. Amsoil went into the engine and trans immediately and it hasn't leaked a drop. Has almost 120k on it now. If I couldn't run Amsoil I would run Mobil 1 Extended Performance with the best filter I could find. The Mobil 1 filters are decent but very over priced. The top tier Wix and Purolator's Pure One are just as good and cost far less. But I'll go to great extents to get Amsoil filters because I think they are better than their oils and that's a tall order. Nothing beats Amsoil's filters. [/QUOTE]
