What’s your take on Amsoil?

I’m friendly with an Amsoil rep. who also runs a YouTube channel dedicated to demonstrating the results Amsoil can make compared to other brands of oil & lubricants. I’m pretty sure he’s not the only one with a YouTube channel, but he’s the only one who I find makes interesting content + he seems like a trustworthy guy in my book, his name is Eben, maybe you’ve seen his vids?


I comment once in a while and he’s always nice enough to reply and make good conversation and never comes off like he’s trying to force you into buying anything, which is really cool because not everyone is like that.

But recently he did ask me a bit more regarding what kind of car I drive and told me about his discount code and website if I ever wanted to check out the Amsoil products and to my surprise it’s actually fairly priced compared to the other synthetic oil you can buy at the big box stores.

I’m interested in their 10w30 High Mileage Synthetic Oil, and if I hadn’t already bought two 5qt. jugs of Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic for my next oil change I would’ve already ordered some of the Amsoil.

What do you guys think about Amsoil? Anyone use it?

Since I don’t drive frequently, I only change my oil once a year on my driver and I just use Mobil 1. On the Cadillac, I understand it’s okay, if not better now to use a synthetic or blend too so I ought to look into a new oil for that. On the Audi, I always use Castrol Syntec because that’s what the enthusiasts recommended but since I drive infrequently, I won’t get preoccupied about oils. That said, I’m fine with trying Amsoil some time if it’s easy and priced decently enough. I never have yet though

Not only is it priced about the same, [maybe even slightly less once you use the discount code] but they ship it in much more ideal sized containers. It comes in gallon jug, which for me is perfect size since my Cadillac takes 8qts. to fill so 1 jug is the exact amount I need and only costs $46 dollars and that’s before the discount code.



Much better than the oddball 5qt. jugs that other brands of oil come in.

Bill D said:

I actually find the 5qt handy. With the Honda I have exactly one qt left so I have a container for it and with the Caddy I actually need one jug plus one qt. I make sure I have empty containers around in case I need them additionally for storing dirty oil

I’ve had to put off my current oil change because I needed to waste off 2 quarts in the past 4 weeks or so. Just my luck I threw away any and all old empty quarts of oil and haven’t felt right about using an empty jug of juice or whatever. Lol.

I have an empty jug of Zep toilet cleaner among others. It has a secure cap. I don’t like the clutter of jugs I’ve created though

I’m not sure if I’d be able to sleep at night worrying about whether trace amounts of toilet cleaner were having an adverse effect in my engine.lol. J/k… But not completely joking. Lol

Bill D said:

No, I mean use that jug to hold the used oil. When it comes to needing to store a qt of new oil, I have left over qt bottles from new oil

I know, I was just joking. Lol
