I just looked at a used 2002 Ford Focus 2.0L 4 cylinder that has 169,000 miles on it. The seller is the third owner and has had if for the past 39,000 miles and has run nothing but Amsoil in it. I peeked into the oil filler hole and was stunned. It looked like a brand new engine inside. I did not see any crud, staining or other, just clean shiny metal. I have never seen anything like it. Usually there is a yellowish layer of varnish inside an engine fill hole along with the usual blackish coating on many of the surfaces.
Amsoil--WOW what a clean engine!

Doesn't surprise me. I ran Amsoil XL 5w30 for 12K OCI on my 04 Ascender and after a year I changed the oil and it was still a nice light golden brown when drained. Use Amsoil with confidence.
Amsoil will always be one of my favorite oils.I've used their XL and SS line of oils and will use them again for sure.

What was the OCI?
Run RTS for 56 miles and it will look even better...j/k.

Likewise, I don’t think anyone has a beef with the product just the availability.

Not to bag on amsoil, but my explorer looked new inside when I got it at 90k and all it had was pyb and qsgb. Thats what happens when you change your oil regularly.

I don't know, but he had just changed the oil half hour before I looked at the car and put in Amsoil.

Yes, very true. I've used just about every conventional oil on the shelf, without any particular brand loyalty. Well, actually I am loyal to price. LOL. My 98 Ford CV has over 235K and if one was to look in the oil fill hole one would see a pristine and shiny aluminum polished glow to the cylinder head.
However, its appetite every 1k for a top up is another story....
