[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 1860383, member: 2522"] I can't answer that. You are right, Amsoil is more expensive and to tell the truth, it may not be worth more. If this was a daily driver and I was putting a lot of miles on it, then I would probably go with Mobile 1 because that would add up to some real money. I change on extended intervals (Filter and top off every 3,000 miles, Full change every 12,000 miles), but then that's the same schedule I used on my 98 with Mobile 1. Amsoil recommends that I install their extra filter unit with stop**** for taking samples, send them the sample for analysis and they will tell me when it's time to change the oil. Perhaps if I was doing it like that it might be worth the $$, especially if I could get 100,000 out of their oil. For me that would be more than 10 years on 1 case of oil plus filters and analysis costs. I would never leave the same oil in for that kind of milage though, out of concern about contamination (gas seems more likely during cold idle). [/QUOTE]
