I use to run amsoil z rod and I liked it but very expensive
Currently running vr1 but I keep hearing about driven . Driven is also expensive. Is it over thinking this for driving a few thousand miles a year and changing every season? |

I do have a suggestion...
Have a Blackstone oil analysis done at the time of your next oil change. https://www.blackstone-labs.com/ A buddy of mine became an Amsoil dealer and spent 1k with Blackstone verifying if Amsoil was worth it. He did normal GTX is three different cars (4 tests each) Then 4 more tests with Amsoil on each car. Amsoil is worth it. In all of Amsoil's internal testing that they publish Mobil1 was second or third. Mobil1 is less than 50% of the cost of Amsoil... The results were very interesting to read and Blackstone themselves advised certain metals were actually normal to see out of XXX engine. Blackstone labs impressed me! You're most likely going to find out you are throwing away perfectly good oil... |
