Want to give amsoil a try on my next oil change.Would it be safe to run in my hm 5.3? Got 227k on the clock and it uses the normal quart every 3k.. Stop and go traffic and my drive to work is only 15 minutes.

Perhaps a 10w40 High Mileage oil would get the consumption down ...
I'd skip the Amsoil and go with something like Mobil 1 10W-40 HM. But Amsoil won't hurt anything unless if leaks a lot, in which case it will hurt your driveway...
I'm in a similar boat with my Jeep, 5.9 Grand with 280K miles.
I was running a 15w40, but after thinking about the motor not leaking nor burning significant amounts of oil, I'm giving Castrol Edge HM 5w30 a shot.
If the Jeep was burning a quart every 3K, I'd just stick with 10w40 Synthetic blends, like Valvoline MaxLife or Pennzoil HM.

Never leaked when i used mobile one.just using the rotella to clean the motor out this go round

Awesome; if it didn't leak with Mobil1, then it should be good with the Amsoil.
