Ever.

A friend ran it in his beefed up 5.9 Jeep. It's good stuff. I just can't justify the cost.

Yes...multiple times on multiple units.

It is really only worth it if you are going to perform oil analysis. Otherwise, it's nothing more than a guessing game.

I thought about using AMSoil in that 1956-57 Wisconsin ACN engine (6hp on the wood splitter), but when I talked to the FIL he mentioned that the oil hadn't been changed in over 18 years.:Q

Go here for information.
Link to Excel spreadsheet with... the oil analyses data
The Maxima community collected and created a huge collection of oil-analyses info on various types of cars from Maximas to Subarus to Hondas and other cars as well.

It shows the oil anaylses, the type of oil the car had, and how it was driven as well as any significant mods it may have (nitrous, turbo, etc..).

It's pretty interesting and valuable.


Also I had Amsoil synthetic tranny oil in my 240Sx and it was amazing in the winter. It made the shifting when cold much more smoother and better. Nissans traditioanlly have a very notchy shifter when cold, to the point of becoming VERY difficult to move into 2ndwhen the car just started up...and hte Amsoil oil makes it much more easier.

By cold I mean -10C to -30C weather.
