I don't agree, the synthetic, Amsoil Eurospec 5-40, looks like new oil at 3000 miles. At 5,000, when I change it, it looks like 2,000 mile on Castrol GTX. I use Amsoil EA filters so maybe that's some of the difference since I think filtering has a lot to do with it, but I am also talking about a car that was switched from Castrol Semi-Syn to Amsoil at 190,000. I did the engine flush first as reccomended. At 211,000 5,000 mile changes. ZERO oil consumption! That goes for all our 3 9K's, a '99 9-3cv AND our '96 Dodge 2500 plow truck which had a serious lifter tap on cold start-up before the flush and change. Quiet like a kitten now at 0*F. I'm sold, and I have been a LONG time Castrol fan. I am NOT an Amsoil dealer, I just pay the big bucks to have the best protection for my engines. Want to talk about the lawn tractor and the stand-by generator? How 'bout the golf cart? Da stuff is slippery!
