Boy can I tell you good stories. First, though, there was a good article on the Mercedes list (passed on from a Porsche list, I think) that pointed out that the particular base chemical used in AmsOil and just a couple of other brands were inherently far superior to Mobil 1 products -- apparently, there are only three brands that use this particular stock, and one of them is only sold in Canada -- I can't remember the third, another US product. Wish I had the details, but I don't right now.
Anyway, I've used AmsOil in all my cars (almost all acquired with high miles) for almost thirty years (started in the mid '70's)! They've always performed beautifully with this oil:
1) no leaks (putting to rest that common "urban myth" about promoting leaks in older engines.
2) easy cold weather starting, and quick oil pressure.
3) easy to see that it really cleans up older engines inside -- valve train (when you look through the oil fill opening, seems to clean up (assuming the same throughout the rest of the engine).
4) most important, I'm convinced it really curtails engine wear -- my mechanic (an independent) tells me that my cars never seem to need valve lash adjustments (compared to his other customers' cars) -- although I have to take him on his word for this because I have nothing to compare.
Anyway, I love AmsOil oil and won't use anything else. Except for its price, there are no downsides to using it.
And I'm NOT an AmsOil dealer.
