    I think Amsoil has. I use it and love it. I only have to change the oil one time per year. Yes, only once a year. I've had great results and zero problems. I signed up to be a preferred customer, so I get it discounted. Thats the best way to go....

    Have any of you gone well past 75,000 and still kept using 5w30? Is there a rule of thumb(mileage) to switching to 10w30?
