full synthetic oils

[kinger]

I have never had trouble with Mobile 1 0w40 but on my new apex its only ever seen yama lube 0w40 synthetic.

I quit trying to read labels and fart around for $1-2 a qt difference. Now I just dump it at the begining of the year and filler up and be done with it...easier for me.

Not saying anything is wrong with Amsoil quality but I have tried to run it in my old p/u and my Yamaha Grizzly and both vehicles consumed it.

I tried two oil changes and ended up with the same results, switched to other brands in both vehicles and my consumption issues stopped.

Just for those that choose to run it, make sure you check your oil levels more often.

For those that choose to run Yamalube, get a used oil analysis done just to verify you are getting what you paid for.

I have run Amsoil in EVERYTHING I own My pick up is 100% amsoil fluids and I have NEVER consumed 1 drop. They specialize in 1 field and that is oil and they are the ONLY company to give a 100% guarantee on thier product!
The only way Your Amsoil could be consumed is if the cleaning agents were actually working and removed the sludge form the seals which could have been dried and cracked , thus causing the fluids to have a place to leak. Or possibly as the oil was working to fill in the scratches on your cylinder walls you may have had some blow by. Chances are that by the time the Amsoil did what it was supposed to do, Clean and protect your engine, You had decided to try another oil which was put into a fresh clean motor and it had an easy job to do from there!
I told myself I was going to stay out of this oil conversation but what you stated was actually saying that Yes there is something wrong with Amsoil quality. Try running it in your new Pick up instead of your old one. You will notice a cooler running, less Rpm's and better gas mileage.

I also have used amsoil for years in every performance machine I have from my drag banshees to my grizzly, all my sleds ( 2 stroke also) my rhino and my boat.. I have never had an issue with it. All of these machines run perfect to this day, my last grizzly 660 had 5000 HARD miles on it when I sold it and last I heard it had over 7500 and was still running like new on amsoil.

Holy
Re-read it and show me where I was putting down the product or saying it was junk or similar???

All I was stating was I tried it in 2 vehicles, (well actually 3 but I will get to that) and it didn't work for me as I had consumption issues, that's all.
I just thought I would tell who ever chooses to use it, to be sure to check your oil levels more frequently because consumption issues can happen with this oil.

I have read countless times on various atv forums, car/truck forums and bitog.com forum where people have had issues comsuming oil while using Amsoil.
Not everyone does, only some but that number of "some" is higher than any other oil I have heard of.

Just so you don't get totally bent out of shape, one friend was having consumption issues using Yamalube in his Grizzly so he switched to Amsoil and his consumption issues stopped, happy?

In both my vehicles that had issues, both were fairly new and there was no possible way I had sludge issues.

3rd vehicle I was talking about was my 95XLT, it used/drink the 5ltrs of Amsoil injector oil it was once fed?
I could not believe, nor could the guy who sold it to me, how fast I went through it?
Long story short on that one, I swtiched to Produmax at the time and my consumption was cut in half.

Just so you know, I have nothing to gain by stating what I have stated, my friend sold Amsoil and I would have liked to continue supporting him but I told him I couldn't afford it with my consumption issues.
I was a moderator at a atv forum for a few years and a site supporter was an Amsoil dealer, I told him of my issues and no answers could be provided.
He even offered me a free oil change if I was to buy it again and still had consumption issues, which at that point I declined.
This same supporter and my friend could not find an answer why I and quite a few others were having consumption issues so I quit using it all together.

Like I said earlier, not knocking it's "quality", maybe it's too good I don't know? But those that use it check your oil levels more frequently just "in case" you have consumption issues like I and some others have experienced.

This is a great post by a person educated about oils. Amzoil is the real deal.

This oil thing has been beaten to death. I have small engines that I have used in landscape biusness, Kohler and Briggs that have had service life long beyond what manufacture rated them for. They were beaten and abused by employees. The only oil they were fed was Mobil One. I also use it in My Kawys,Hondas And John Deere Diesel equipment. I think as with brand loyalty toys,truck n cars so goes oil loyalty. As long as $h!t doesn't blow up stick with it.

i run opti 5w30, only company that doubles an engine warranty.. you cannot run it until your second oil change, to make sure the rings have seated properly.. been running it in my 02 dodge ram with a 4.7l v8, it has 130,000 miles on it and 150lbs of compression in all 8 cylinders, have been running it in both my phazers since the second oil change.. i think its good oil.

Yamalube isn't all that great either, there non and semi synthetics break down surprisingly quickly resulting in notchy shifting in my bike... mobile one is good for at least 3X the mileage, and I haven't ran it past that.

I do run the yamalube 0-30 in my sled, but only run it 800km or so. If I could find 0-30 mobile one, I would buy a few flats and be done with yamalube.

Amsoil for me all the way and I have yet to have trouble with with any fourstroke I have put it in. This includes my truck,suv,lawn tractor, mower (13 years old), kodiak 10 years old, 04 and 05 rx1.

 

[Sasquatch]

Ah heck I used to have consumption problems with ESSO oil in my old 68 car. Switched back to Canadian Tire Nugold and oil consumption went away. Was told Canadian tire oil was made by ESSO! LOL!

Doesn't have anything to do with Yamalube or Mobile one or Amsoil. Just thought I would throw it out there.

I however live 80 miles from the nearest Yami dealer but Canadian tire a mile away sells Amsoil. So I use Amsoil synth in my sled, my lawn mower and my snow thrower!

 

[cmharcou]

how about spectra 0w40?

I always get a laugh when you guys start on the oil BS. all the oils you guys talk about are all good oils, what up about price of oil you only change it once a year. these sleds are 15k so why are you guys worrying about $6.00 to $12.00 total different in price between the different brands. for a oil change
