AMSOIL against MOBIL 1
A customer who does a lot of reading and research, always looking for the best motor oil. The more he’s reads the more he realized AMSOIL was the best “true” synthetic motor oil he could buy. After using Mobil 1 since 1986, he made the switch to AMSOIL. He drives a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria with nearly 98,000 miles on the engine. He switched from Mobil 1 to AMSOIL 5w-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. The difference was immediate and significant. The idle became much smoother. There are times i can’t tell if the car is running. It also became much more responsive to the gas pedal, so much more responsive his wife asked what he did to the car.
He has owned the car for almost nine years. Not surprisingly, the gas mileage improved significantly. This car always averaged 15 mpg going back and forth from work. It now averages 16.5 mpg. That’s a 10 percent increase. He didn’t expect such a big change. He waited to report his finding until after he had driven the car 5,000 miles, to confirm that the numbers are average and not a fluke.
