Tejas Deezul on Amsoil, warning this is rated NC-17

[Texas Diesel]

My experience with Amsoil (probably applies to synthetics in general).



I bought a 98, 12V, 5 speed for my wife to keep her out of mine . The previous owner was an Amsoil nut, oil filter, air filter, Amsoil stickers etc. 119k miles. First oil change it got a Fleetgard filter, Delo 15W-40, and a K&N, lost the muffler & kitty. Got a valve adjustment too, now to the point.



The valve covers and timing cover ( to tab the KDP ) had the normal amount of grunge inside. Spray and a little wiping and it came right off.



Added two quarts of transmission fluid and drove 20 miles, oil came out NASTY!!! Beyond black!! I have done this many times to many different engines before as a 'shock cleaning' immediately before an oil change with good results. Well anyway, with 3500 miles on the Delo the oil is still clean, just like in a new engine. The two quarts of transmission fluid didnt clean that well, it has to be due in some part to the Amsoil. I cant believe how clean the oil still is.



I have never seen Dino oil engines come this clean



I seem to have learned that Amsoil DOES keep the insides cleaner.

You just can't resist can you? :-{} :-laf



Beyond black? That's impossible, even though I take your point.

Well, the OLDER production Amsoil was questionable, but it's improved since Ford bought the company...

I cant win, even when saying something nice I get reamed an new one :-laf



Gary, Ford only owns 51% of Amsoil stock :-{}

Stop it! You're killing me here. :-laf



It REALLY was a compliment / comment for Amsoil.

What difference does it make if the inside of your engine is clean, what you going to do eat off it?

 

[HBarlow]

Ford owns 51% of Cummings! The guys at the truck stop told me so.

Think this means the engine will last longer? That's all I need. It will already last longer than I will be able to drive it on dino oil :-{} Just trying to help get this discussion going.

You guys are killin me :-laf

You mean to tell me a-oil is not the magical elixer of the ages?

Dang, I was planning on handing this crap down to my children someday!

UNH-OHHhhh new storm clouds on the horizon, in another thread, it is claimed synthetics are NOT recommended in the HO Cummins due to specific design of the valvetrain, and premature guide wear can occur due to poor lubrication...

I wish I could cash in on the CumminGs motor. There has to be some type of legal infringment using my last name like that!



Maybe I should go change the Amsoil in my truck,, It's been 20K !
