Hello all. Hoping to get your opinion on which Amsoil I should switch my 2000 C12 (2KS) with 656,000 original over to. I am pretty set on Amsoil despite the high volume of oil and cost (which anymore isn't much over off the shelf synthetics anyway). Being a dealer I gotta represent, [right?] and w/ bypass filtration I am expecting to get quite an OCI out of it based on analysis.
I am thinking DEO, but my engine is completely pre-emission (no EGR or DPF) which is the opposite the oil is supposedly designed for, but then again I don't think it's doing any disservice to a pre emission engine?
Everyone is raving about HDD, but I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep at night running a non CJ-4 rated, wrong weight oil in a semi with 656,000 miles on it.
AME seems to maybe have some more shear stability? But I guess that's the trade off giving up weight range? (15w-40 vs 5w-40) This is going to be a year round oil for a home every night tractor in PA. Still mostly highway miles though. I do have and use a block heater.
