I must admit Im curious to try Amsoil and probably will if I find it at a resonable price. I agree with Bocatrip, as long as u change ur oil often enough your precious engine will last at least 150000 miles and thats more than enough for me. The real reason I use synthetic is because our VQ engines burn oil and thats a fact. I have used conventional oils and synthetic brands and have realized that synthetic oils burn less. I use about 1/2 a quart of synthetic oil between my 4k mile changes and I used to use at least 1 quart with conventional oil. Plus, I live in new york and I know its a fact that synthetic oils protect better in the winter. I also stick to OEM filters because I know that they will never let me down and they are backed by the same idiots who made my car!
G35ANTSA, the point of my post was to defend Mobil 1, not cut it down. Mobil 1 is a fine product.
If you are interested in trying AMSOIL, I offer wholesale prices as low as $4.46 qt. Only better deal is free!

Probably the rule that you don't set up shop without paying rent (sponsor this site).

Customer service hardly is a reliable source, and probably couldn't even explain the difference between a group3 and group 4 base oil. The facts are that mobil1 changed their formulation when they introduced "synpower" which is different than the previous formulation. Alot of people's UOA's changed significantly after the switch, which suggests a change to group 3 base stocks. The viscosity data suggests the same for 5/10w oils, with 0w oils appearing to remain PAO based. Mobil1 won't officially address the issue of base stocks so everything is still speculation, but the evidence points to group 3 base oils being used rather than PAO based for the 5w-30's and 10w-30's.
HiTechOil co probably shouldn't have been banned. Just warned and then offered the option of becoming a sponser. Would be nice to have an Amsoil dealer on there. WE have one on maxima.org. Talkinghorse.
Then again, if we had a fluids/lubricants section like I suggested a month ago, he wouldn't have HAD to spam every forum right?
ballisticus, looking forward to reading your analysis report!

I think that even if Mobil 1 is now just a glorified group III oil, it's still better than most oils out there. And it's relatively cheap at walmart.
I would go for GC, but given its cost and the fact that I change my oil and filter (both mobil 1) every 4K miles, I'll just stick with Mobil 1.

Cool. I might see if Walmart has these in the 5qt jugs. The mobil has done well for me though. At least in terms of oil consumption. I ave about 1qt during a 3-4k mile change

What kind of oil do you think they put in the G35 when they ship them to the dealerships?

Hi Chiapet. Apparently there was a misunderstanding by someone and the situation has now been thankfully corrected.
