Switched to AMSOIL

I have 2 7th gen civic that I ran nothing but Mobile 1. I have a friend that's an AMSOIL dealer so I made the switch. I must say its awesome. Saves me time and money and gas mileage.

I change the oil once a year or every 25k miles using 25k mile filter.

The car starts and runs so smooth and I get way better gas mileage.

For both cars it cost me less than 100 bucks. I don't think 100 bucks a year for 2 cars is bad at all considering it cost about 30 bucks ever 3 months or so to change oil x 2 cars...

Just wanted to share! You guys should check it out. AMSOIL has done all the R&D and have answered every question you can think of...

no offense but....

ur a complete idiot if that's ur route for oil changing.

by doing what ur doing, ur engine is prone to failure, and no wonder you "feel so much of a difference" when you switched/changed to amsoil.


oil needs to be changed every 3 months or 3-5k. which ever comes first.

i only costs me 23 bucks to change my oil. ($12 for 5qt of valvoline, $10 mobile 1 filter)


whats better? spending 30ish bucks and keeping ur car running well, or spending 3000 in a few years due to a tranny failure (or some kinda replacement)



just something to consider, because many of us here will agree with me.
