35,000 miles? c'mon...

Post by NY Pete »

I for one can't believe AMSOIL's claim... I assume this is only good if you have a vehicle that allows you to change the oil filter without draining the oil... otherwise this is just BS - it is a documented fact that any commercially available oil filter gets significantly clogged with 8,000 or so normal driving miles and just bybasses the filter anyway - I wouldn't want a bunch of crap floating around in my engine for 25,000+ miles (well over a year and a half as I drive)...!!!
