Do you mix G96 and Amsoil or use them independently? What specific Amsoil product are you referring to?
I apologize, I should've been more clear...
I don't mix anything when lubricating that rifle*.
I've used either G96 or AMSOIL on the DPMS .308 with good results.

The AMSOIL gun oil is good stuff.
I'm also a fan of the AMSOIL gun cleaner. It removes carbon well, and leaves a slight film of oil behind when wiped clean. That makes it ideal for a lot of gun cleaning. A one step clean and preserve.
*I use both Mobil 1 grease and gun oil on Garand, but that's for different points as required by the rifle. My DI carbines just get one oil, in the specified places. I carry a 4oz AMSOIL gun oil in my range bag.
Happened to be in the lane next to a shooter with a brand new rifle that was acting up. He and his buddy weren't really experienced. When the Range Safety Officer stepped in to help, it became clear (after borrowing my takedown tool) that they hadn't lubricated the new rifle, just took it out of the box and began shooting it.
The rifle was both new and dry. Not how I would choose to break one in. I handed them my AMSOIL, showed them the key points, and they spent the next hour shooting happily. No more malfunctions. That rifle probably would be happy with any oil, vs. no oil, but the AMSOIL has worked well in my guns and in theirs.
