In this video I talk about my 2013 Town and Country minivan in which I started using Amsoil oil in it at 18,000 miles(I've been a dealer for 18+ years). I have since installed a bypass filter unit and have begun to you use oil analysis for extended drain intervals. This will be my second oil analysis that I have submitted and I talk about the results and how I am able to continue to drive on the same oil I put in almost 60,000 miles ago.

Great video........Amsoil Signature Series that I have been using in my bought new 2015 Ram Hemi, is the best oil on the planet. Started using Amsoil 5-20 Signature Series at 36,000 miles after all of my free bee dealer oil changes were done. Within 100 miles after converting over to Amsoil the Hemi actually quieted down during idle. I was amazed........However, I change out my Amsoil with an extended life filter at every 15K miles......LOL.......

[@ob1n]

Extended oil drain is not everyone's "cup of tea". But I have high confidence after years of use to make it happen

[@MsPhuque]

Dodge rams rust out like crazy. I would focus on preventing that.

[@gidderman]

If you keep the dirt and contamination out of the oil, it is still good oil. Filtration is key...

[@keithexum7312]

My fleet of 90 vehicles run on AMSOIL and get routine analysis. Some are heavy trucks and some smaller trucks. All pass with great numbers. Gas and oil are cheap compared to engine replacement.

[@JF32304]

I have the same engine in my Jeep GC. The gentleman that I purchased it from (one owner) always went to the dealer. When I do this next change, I'm going to amsoil. You'll pay a little more for it but to me it's worth every penny to keep that engine running great!!

[@ob1n]

I would agree. I pay extra for piece of mind and I perform the oil analysis for quick convenience. I haven't been to an oil change shack in years unless it was to visit clients. Good luck with your upgrade and let me know if I can help. If you don't have a servicing dealer, my number is 1086626. Thanks for your comment.

Very impressive. What I find odd though is that every video like this seems to be from an amsoil dealer they have links for you to buy through them. I just think it's weird that they're are few or no such videos from people who aren't also selling it.

[@ob1n]

Most people who are not a dealer, use the product, and have these kind of results..... became a dealer shortly thereafter. Amsoil is one of the few oil companies that actually sell ONLY through a dealer network. You cannot find AMSOIL in Walmart because they won't allow it. Amsoil is truly a product for everyone. It's what I call, "generous capitalism". They could literally cut out the dealer and go straight to retail like most other companies. But they understand the value of entrepreneurship.

[@seangibson398]

Me and my buddy have the same truck , and one of us ran Amsoil and the other Pennzoil ultra , after 7,000 miles sent the oil to a non amsoil certified business. And they both had the same reading s about .. long as you use a full synthetic oil and proper increments, the motor will last forever!!

[@christianman5093]

Alex MacLean and a Chrysler car dealer will say that chrysler is the best car you can buy just like a jaguar dealer will say the same... both makers suck and Toyota is the best car you can buy in terms of being reliable. Can't trust a salesman much but a good product is a good product, plus not like autozone or dealerships want you to use one of the best oils, they make money off cars needing repair and what not. Look into Cerma, since my car had 228k miles I switched and my car is running like new... 03 Camry 2.4L

At Amsoils website you can search your area 4 shops that may carry the product. Amsoil has such a vast product line, it maybe difficult to find everything you need locally. Setting up your own account online gives you access to the entire Amsoil product line. Preferred customers pay $20 a year, but then they buy at about 25% off retail also free shipping over $100 order. www.amsoil.com/offers/pc.aspx?zo=1463115 Fyi

[@thomassavage527]

I'm using amsoil in my 2013 prius , plan on changing oil 2x a year, fall & summer. I've already put 10,000 miles on in 2 months, but the oil still looks clean on the dipstick...haven't burned any, so I'm going to keep going to my 6- month interval. What do you guys think?

[@ob1n]

Depending on the oil viscosity and series you are using, I say you are just fine. Personally I use the 0W40 signature series. As you know, I perform oil analysis and use the bypass systems for most everything except for my kids vehicles and lawn/power equipment. And for those items, we just change oil and filter once a year

[@owen8538]

[@TheRichardF10]

This is just a very long interval. I am surprised the oil held up. That result looks like an oil sample that used off-the-shelf full synthetic oil with about 10,000 miles. I have always been curious how effective a by pass filter system would perform and your analysis proves that effective. Definitely the Amsoil and the by pass filter really paid for itself with all the regular oil changes you didn't have to do. What brand oil filter did you use? Not the by pass filter. If I'm not mistaken, those Pentastar V6 has the oil filters which you replace the filter media and not the canister type of filters. I usually work on a 2014 Dodge Journey 3.6 V6 AWD but I don't know if it uses the same oil filter.

[@ob1n]

The "factory" filter is a cartridge-style filter. Media with plastic cage. I have been using Wix brand but I have opened every brand name filter for a visual inspection and they are all the same except for color far as I can tell. Putting a flashlight behind them and you can see plenty of holes where the light bleeds through. It is a very bad design. About all they can do is trap large, visible debris. Rumors are that dodge went with this style filter to be more eco-friendly since the filter can be completely incinerated. However, recently AMSOIL claims to be making these filters with their more efficient media. I intend to buy one to see if they are any better at sealing obvious holes. Until then, I rely on my AMSOIL bypass filters to do all the real work. I've been thinking of adding magnets on the side of my filter as well. Probably overboard but it's not certainly going to hurt either. Thanks for your respectable comment.

[@anthonyjulson8840]

I know of a Chevy Cruze diesel that went 100k miles before he changed it. No bypass filter.

[@ronmansfield9895]

Richard Ojeda

[@daveroski]

Not sure why I am confused, how many miles were driven on this one oil change?

[@ob1n]

I'd have to look at my records but I remember buying the vehicle at around 18k miles. It now has around 95k. My buddy opened up a quick lube store and he needed some practice cars so I did actually change the oil not to long ago. And I performed one more analysis as I drained it. I need to make that video

[@Robs_Got_A_Gun]

That Bypass decreases Oil PSI and Flow Volume a little. (You're Oil pressure sensor is either before the Oil filter or Directly after the Oil Filter mount.) The only way to test the Actual Oil PSI is put a Sensor AFTER the 2nd Filter

[@williamtownsend4978]

What do think about this on a carbureted engine, I would expect more oil dilution

[@ob1n]

Very likely more fuel dilution on a carburetor engine as they generally run richer. Not always... but more likely than not

[@MsPhuque]

Amazing, Im astonished there are people that actually believe these claims to be valid.

[@oiladviseguy]

Sometimes good products do indeed surprise us. When I owned a small engine repair shop, I saw first hand just how much better Amsoil was. I would give my customers an extra 3 years commercial warranty, if they used only Amsoil. There is not another oil on the market that I would risk that with. I have heard people brag on all types of oils , but I have never been impressed when I examined the engines. I have so many personal stories from my customers who used Amsoil, and when I examined their engines I was impressed. Not always impressed with the abuse they gave their equipment, but I have to say, I don't think its even possible in a good engine to wear it out using Amsoil. The results speak for themselves.

[@MsPhuque]

@@oiladviseguy Small engines don't wear out with residential use even with sticking with conventional oils. Almost all their failures are related to their fuel systems and rust on the tool the engine is mounted to. How would you even verify that any amsoil was used? The only oil related failures I ever encountered on small engines were when the oil level became unbelievably low. As a small engine shop owner, I am baffled how you don't know that.

[@dclug1]

Part of the reason the oil seems to “hold up” is because he adds a fresh quart every time he changes that filter so he’s always adding fresh which makes it seem like it’s holding up.

[@MsPhuque]

Wow, this oil somehow recalibrated your thermostat. Did it also improve the performance of the car's ac during the summer?

[@VRRider]

$28.35 for a sample test kit with prepaid postage. and I use about 8 total quarts of oil on my bike at an average price of 9.75 per QT. may as well just change it out rather then test it.

[@ob1n]

To each their own; I'm now over a year since this video was posted and I haven't changed nor tested the oil. I haven't accumulated enough miles to warrant a retest. While others are changing their oil... I'm driving my vehicles or doing other things that are more worthy of my time. And what kind of bike are you riding that takes over 8 quarts of oil?

[@George-nx5lo]

Space Ghost you clearly are too stupid to understand why to test it

[@SCraig-Handsome]

I think essentially you are doing the oil change by changing the filter, yes you can use the same oil, especially if you are using a fully synthetic, doesn’t have to be Amsoil SS but you rpoint is valid. Most people think they have to change their oil a lot more often than is required. If you were doing more in city driving you would, also extreme temperatures are a factor. If you live in San and travel up the coast and back for example that’s totally different than doing short trips in Arizona or Canada. Where I live we drive Hondas and they don’t need oil changes until 9-10,000 miles (14-16,000kms). Even then there is tons of oil left and they just need the oil filter changed. The main reason dealers or shops will do it more frequently, costing you more $ is that they don’t know what type of driving you are doing. If you are consistent enough though you could figure out what works best and go with that, if the oil is still good just keep changing the filter but keep in mind you could do damage long-term. However, as you said you are only using it for longer trips so you should not see much viscosity break-down. If that’s the case you should also use an ethanol-free 91 Octane Gas like Shell 91 vPower Nitro, I get about 31 miles per gallon on my CR-V since I started using it. I’m supposed to be getting only 29.

[@briansydnes1711]

Holy crap, why is the copper wear so high, even after 1800 miles. Don't trust Polaris Labs, the company who actually tests the samples. They do not take into account the amount of miles or time on the oil, and have arbitrary high flag limits on wear metals. I have an email from them saying lube time is irrelevant. Also the TBN dropped quite a lot after the first 1800 miles. Your lube time is incorrect on the second sample. I don't believe this report or the intervals/lube filter changes. Iron is the most abundant wear metal and there was no change after 10k miles, and no change in copper. All engines exhibit wear rates, regardless of the oil. When did you add the by-pass.?

[@ob1n]

You can believe what you want... I'm just providing the facts of what is happening. Details of when I added the bypass unit are in my videos as I no longer remember the exact time frame. It's irrelevant in my opinion as I'm certain I will be driving this vehicle for many years to come without issues. I'm already over 80k and several years without an oil change. I only change filters and add oil.

[@MsPhuque]

"Irrelevant" and "I don't remember" is not convincing that your claims are valid.

How did your level hold up with that long of an interval. Most modern engines burn a small amount of oil between normal OCIs, so compounding that out to the extreme would likely result in low oil levels in the engine. Are you regularly adding oil at a certain interval?

When I change the oil filters, oil is added at that time.

All good, but if your engine breaks the manufacturer will void warranties, because of you doing 72k on one circle.

[@ob1n]

I'm long past any warranty that my vehicle has ever qualified for. And if done properly with facts, there is actually a federal law that makes it a violation for any manufacturer to deny warranty due to using aftermarket products and services that exceed factory specifications

[@ob1n]

@Notsofast L the law applies to much more than just oil. It refers to all aftermarket items. From exhaust, wheels and tires, shifter knobs, and even the fuzzy dice hanging from your rear-view mirror. It basically says that the manufacturer cannot deny your warranty just because you use an aftermarket product especially if the product is better than what is required normally. About the only time that a manufacturer will have any recourse, is when they can prove that the vehicle has been used outside of normal use such as Motorsports. Again, in my situation, I am definitely outside of my warranty. And furthermore I am definitely not worried that anything is going to go wrong given the care that I provide for my vehicles. I haven't had to change my oil in over several years. My reason for doing this is for time savings but as you can clearly see the benefits of the extended drain intervals are numerous.

[@mattlane2282]

@@ob1n you are high if you think a warranty can not be denied for never changing the oil. The manufacture says use XYZ or equivalent oil (this is your warranty act they are not forcing you to buy oil from them) and change at XYZ... you *must* change it when they spec... everything else you mentioned has NOTHING to do with a OE change interval. Pro tip, if you put on 1/2 inch pipes... and then the car dies because of crazy back pressure... you think you are gona get it warrantied? LOL nope. changing a shift lever is not in the manual... rofl. I mean hell you have "abnormal" stuff then go on to explain how... it is normal... um.... then why would the company you paid say it is? LOL another scamsoil buyer...

[@VRRider]

@Notsofast L If you can prove your oil is with in specs it would be inpossible for a manufacturer to say you never changed your oil. On the other hand if you have the same filter as what the manufacturer originally put on it before it shipped to the dealer and you try to say you changed your filter you are up a creek with out a paddle. Unless you have a sludge fest in your engine the manufacturer nor the dealer tearing the engine apart is going to even know when you last changed your oil.

[@VRRider]

@notsofast No if they decline the warranty I just have to prove that the oil was good oil. If the lab test it to be fine then they would be over ruled on there denial of warranty work. But I am sure you will come up with some other scenario just to be argumentative. So I am done with you. Have a nice day.

[@nunyabiznis817]

I don't understand why people get oil analysis tests done on passenger cars. Just change oil. You'll have to change it anyhow so change the oil and save the money from the tests to buy oil and filters. What am I missing here? I never got the full drain interval. I use 5w-30 sig seris and I change it out ever 6 months, not every year. The 1yr/25K miles drain interval is based on OPTIMAL conditions and a 100% mechanically sound engine (which nobody really has). I change it every 6 months and I still save time and money over using a conventional oil or another synthetic. If you buy amsoil the right way, you save money. What I do is I buy a PC membership for $20 then buy all my oil and filters that I will need for a whole year for my car's oil changes. That saves me money on shipping (in fact, I believe these days you get free shipping on orders over $95) plus you get the wholesale prices. Do the math, and you'll find that Amsoil is actually inexpensive when you purchase it the right way. And that includes the $20 for the PC membership added to the total cost. And then, to top it off, I have yet to find an oil filter (other than amsoil) that is designed to go even 6 months so if I were to use any other oil bought at the store as well as a store bought filter, even if the oil has a long drain interval like Amoil sig series, I would still need to buy multiple filters to change out during that 6 month period. And don't forget, you'll have to top off your oil when you change that filter as you will lose some. So when you take all this into consideration, Amsoil is actually quite inexpensive if you buy it the right way. So what's the point of oil analysis?

[@ob1n]

The point of my oil analysis is well over 70000 miles and still going. If I weren't taking video, I could have done my oil sample capture in less than 5 minutes. An oil change is easily 30+ minutes and maybe more with tool cleanup and waste oil disposal. With oil analysis, waste oil disposal is virtually nonexistent especially if you don't need to change a filter. I'm not saying it is perfect; but it can be done. Oil analysis can also point to potential upcoming trends and issues that are about to happen within an engine especially if you know what to look for. Believe me, oil analysis isn't for everyone. I'm just showing people how I do it and trying to gain experience for myself. Another reason for me, is that I prefer to drive my vehicles rather than be under them changing oil. If I am going to work on my vehicle, I want to be repairing/replacing worn or broken parts.... or adding upgrades. Changing oil is not something I dream about doing for fun. And I haven't had to touch my drain plug for a very long time. What you explained was the PC(Preferred Customer) program and, yes, that's pretty much how it works. I'll also mention that PCs also get email promotions, are randomly selected for additional prizes, and also build points from their purchases which can then be used for future buys. It is a great system designed to help people take advantage of AMSOIL's benefits at a great investment rate. Thanks for your comment and for keeping it civilized.

[@nunyabiznis817]

Fair enough. But I'm confused about what you said about PC customers getting points for their purchases. I just logged into my Amsoil account and I don't see anything about a points system & nowhere to check my points. Got any more info on this?

[@ob1n]

I have heard of that before. While I admit it is one of the oldest manufacturers in the world, I'll also be quick to admit that most modern day oils are actually very good regardless of manufacturer. However, if you really put everything to the test, you'll find Amsoil at the top 75% of the time in ASTM standards. Additionally, AMSOIL is the one who made synthetic what it is today being the first to offer synthetic lubricants to the market starting in 1972. I also like the fact that I'm able to participate in that endeavor because of dealership opportunities. That is something a lot of other oil companies choose not to allow.

[@nunyabiznis817]

Oldest does not mean best.

[@ob1n]

@xv70 1 I see your point. Yet I never said that oil "never goes bad". I'm just presenting the evidence as it happens. The reason for performing oil analysis is to watch the condition. Replacing a quart every once and a while during a filter change is not a big deal. It takes me less than 5 minutes. And I don't have a bunch of oil to dispose of. And comparing oil to milk is not really a very good comparison. Technically if you could clean the contamination from oil at 100% efficiency, then oil would last "forever". But not even AMSOIL bypass filters are that thorough. My point here is that I've gone a long way and I don't spend a lot of time under my vehicle. I spend more time on the road or doing other tasks. And that's what I'm after.

I believe your Multi-Source Metals and Additives sections of your report are showing flags because you are telling the lab that you are using AMSOIL SSO (0W-30), but you are probably using AMSOIL AZO (0W-30). Same viscosity, but different product with different oil analysis baselines. I've had same issue when I had older oil spec in the vehicle, and then just did a filter change and added new oil. It creates a blend that is difficult to baseline. Allen Bender at AMSOIL can help you with more detailed information.
