Amsoil was with the stock air filter and Rotella was with a NAPA 2790 BHAF



Bottom line for both oils was, they are OK for continued use.

When you ran the Amsoil, at what intervals did you change the filter? Did you use the Amsoil filter or Fleetguard filter? Or some other filter. TIA

John... I changed the Amsoil filter and added a quart of Amsoil at 8000 miles.
