Amsoil Website

Hey all,

I've been reading about Amsoil (pronounced ams oil) it seems since I started reading this and other boards over two years ago! I've had success with synthetics that I used in vehicles but always seemed to go back to dino oil.

Well, I decided I'd do a search and look up the Amsoil website. (http://www.amsoil.com/) At the website you can find all kinds of info, and a free catalog, that supports Mark C's claims. Really informative was the radio interview that the "On the Road" radio program did with the founder. They even talk of a time in the near future when all vehicles will come from the factory with synthetic oil and some will be a "never need to change" because of advances in filtering along with synthetic.

Special note to Mark C., how come they don't have a picture of a tractor with all the other vehicles? Preferably a New Holland just in case you e-mail them to add a picture! [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I ordered a catalog and am strongly considering switching to Amsoil. I know that Mark recommends waiting until 150 hours, PaulB switched at 100 hours, but what does Amsoil recommend? Any ideas? I didn't find it at the website.

JimBinMi, I read everything on their web site a long time ago, keeping in mind that it's there to sell their product. Until I reviewed their web site, I thought it was pronounced "am soil" and I didn't figure I needed anything more to soil my engine.[img]/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

JimBinMI - I don't have a picture of a Blue tractor, but I'll be happy to send them one of an Orange one.

Amsoil doesn't say how many hours to wait, just that it should be "broken in" first. You pick how long you think that'll take. I'd rather wait a little long than do it too soon.
