The total Base number is way too low for my liking since they changed the formulation. I am switching brands of oil.
Diesel oil
Best diesel oil on the planet!
Great Engine Protection
I’ve always been a “Royal Purple” guy, it’s a top of the line product as is their other products- BUT after running Amsoil 15W40 in my 2013 HD Silverado Duramax, it’s “Light Years”better for my MPG, engine oil temperature and power.
Only the BEST for Me
I have been using Amsoil since 1979 and I believe in putting the Best Oil in all my Toys . I use it in my cars,garden tractor , lawn mower , whole house generator , power washer , and my 2 Corvettes ,and in my 2013 Kioti CK35 HST Diesel tractor . I guess you could call me an Amsoil Junkie ??
Good oil
It’s great oil. Just did my last oil change and I think it will be the last. As it is already expensive and they increase the price , and made me pay for shipping. That was the last purchase.
