    These types of videos arent perfect but I love his formats.

    We've always known it to be lower grade than any name brand oil, it meets requirements, but for the same money you can do better. Plus its just odd to me to buy engine oil from a dealer.

    I believe its made by Mobil , but its a step down from Mobil 1 synthetic.

    The 5 quart is often out of stock. Or one time I ordered it, it was only available in a 3 pack which was weird because they just shipped me three loose bottles, not a manufacturer's carton or anything. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is good stuff, but if I was changing it every 2500 miles I'd use the cheapest decent oil. My first choice would be Costco, then Havoline.

    ams oil has a membership option that gives you rewards every time you buy it also pays for its self after the first time you buy a oil change i dont know why no one does this. if you own multiple cars then its even better. just dont buy there oil filters there to much either rock auto or local parts store for filters

    Well, If you are changing your oil and filter every 5000 miles, you don't need Amsoil.
    Just about any oil that meets the SPI specs will be just fine. Now, if you're going to go
    25,000 on the same oil, or not change the filter then maybe you should buy Amsoil.

    I appreciate the belt, suspenders AND a drip rag. Now that is OCD at its finest my friends. Certainly not knocking you here.
