Hello, I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado 5.3L V8. Is it worth the Extra $Money$ to use Mobil One full synthetic oil 5/30 or am I wasting my Money? I have been using Valvaline 5/30 then with my last oil change I used Valvaline DuraLube 5/30 Synthetic blend.
Thanks for the input, Michael
Yes!
I'll second that with a resounding YES!

How does Amsoil compare?
Thanks.
Getting ready to find out.
Is there a difference between different brands of full synthetic oil? Witch is best? 5/30 Thanks for the input, Michael
Everyone has their own 'Magic Mix' of oil. Mobil is a leader in the market. Am is relatively new, I think, but is making a name for it self rather quickly. It might even stand a chance of knocking Mobil off the throne. It will not be a pretty battle I'm sure.

Amsoil full synthetic oil actually came out (1972) a year before Mobil
Do you need to use a special oil filter when you use synthetic oil? or can I use a Fram filter? Thanks, Michael
please buy something other than a fram... they're complete garbage... go to NAPA and buy a NAPA silver filter for about the same money and get a quality filter. while you're at napa I bet you'll find a oil filter display w/ a cutaway of a fram and a NAPA filter... it'll open your eyes.

I was unclear about Amsoils age. Sorry for my mistake. Thanx for the heads-up...
Last I heard all major oil filters were produced in Mexico and badged for the various retailers.... I'd say they are all equally good...

VERY wrong! Many are made in the USA, some overseas, some across the border.
I've used Amsoil products, and I have actually gone 20,000 miles on extended drains. I think it is good stuff, but I also think Mobil SuperSyn is good too.
Thing is that if you change @ 3,000 miles every time, and your car isn't gonna get exposed to super cold temperatures for ultra-cold starts conventional is probably okay.
