    Viscosity
    By  STAN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Florida  on  November 04, 2024
    This is a great oil. I am still working out the needed viscosity for my build. This was the recommendation from the Amsoil Tech department and is a great choice! I will be testing the 5W-50 soon and may go with that one for the more oil pressure registering on the gauge.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Oil change kit
    By  MICHAEL,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Chicago  on  November 02, 2024
    I was happy to see that my order was shipped quickly ad arrived earlier that promised. The order was complete and came with a useful pair of gloves and a disposable funnel. The oil should be as reliable as advertised and my only doubts are about the filters. The oil filters looked like cheap knock offs to be honest.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Immediate Improvement
    By  THOM,  a  Verified Buyer  from  NH  on  October 31, 2024
    Had oil and filter changed from Ford Synthetic to AMSOIL. Engine ran smoother by the time I got home (3/4 mi). Went to event 2hrs away next morning. Round trip (4 hrs) saw 2mpg improvement. Phase 1, crankcase, is done. Phase 2: transmission, transfer case, and differentials next. Lastly: coolant, power steering and brake fluids.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    This is the Standard
    By  JERRY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Ohio  on  October 31, 2024
    Ok, long term review, one of my vehicles is a 2007 Tahoe (5.3L), I started using the Signature Series about 100,000 miles ago after the vehicle already had 150,000 miles on it. Upon the first change I noticed a difference in oil pressure, the dreaded GM cylinder shut off system and lasting longer between changes. It's still running well after 260,000 miles and I have hope for many more miles. I only wish I had started sooner with this product.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
