I absolutely have no issue with your list, which is driven 5% by content and 95% by attitude and tone!Being on my iGnore list is the next best thing to winning the Nigerian lottery
2013 Honda Fit at the moment.
No. I do not know that.
Last time I checked, Amsoil was priced competitively with the top tier oils at the local auto supply stores. Walmart/Costco retailers and Band X oils may be cheaper, of course. I order Amsoil off their site.
If you're saying that I'm spending money on oil changes, you are right. I don't mind.
The PAO Amsoil Signature and Ravenol in Germany are about the same price ~ 14€ per L. It is worth if one does 20k OCI or driving at 120 mph in Autobahn regularly
For normal usage 10k miles OCI/1Y, Walmart Napa Costco oil are as good as more expensive brands.

You can order it off their website, and I guess they just keep the money that would have gone to a dealer, or you can sign up for a preferred membership with a dealer, like our own dear @Pablo, and some of what you order goes back to them. That's the "dealer" I was referring to.Last time I checked, Amsoil was priced competitively with the top tier oils at the local auto supply stores.

My favourite 0W20 is the one on the shelf when I’m reaching for the 15W40.
Basically what happens is that a lot of parts end up reaching their effective lifespans due to degradation due to time related issues (uv, ozone, heat, etc.) or other parts start to wear out, and meanwhile the engine is running fine.
Modern engines last a really long time even with indifferent maintenance, and it's not unlikely or unusual for everything else to start failing before the engine starts to have any serious issues.
I guess you've been lucky, but spend some time around here, and it's not hard to find people burning a lot of oil with good maintenance with quality synthetics. Very engine- and application-specific.
I'm considering this for my Gladiator as well, as it's still available by mail from my local Walmart. Does anyone have any substantive information on benefits it offers? I've heard it's more shear-resistant.
LSJR tested it in HPL’S lab. It was the most shear stable and resisted break down the longest out of M1’s Dexos approved oils.I'm considering this for my Gladiator as well, as it's still available by mail from my local Walmart.

Thanks, good to know!
This is anecdotal vs statistical; however, I tried it in my Challenger hemi and was so unimpressed I drained it after two drives and refilled with Redline due to a hot lifter tick. Neither drive was what I'd call severe usage. You may have a different result, but once I changed it, I never had a problem again.
Out of curiosity, what'd you go with after?
Doh!
