Amsoil is horrible

@timhvac100 Hmmm sludge can be caused by other things. Oil Analysis anyone?

I've seen sludge form in that engine because of very small coolant leak. I know this will not change your mind but testing is a good idea.

@MotorHeadGreg I am curious why would you not use synthetic oil, I've used synthetic oil for years, my current car a 2005 Accord only takes synthetic oil and i have just recently hit 152,000 miles in it and it runs as smooth as cream, and it feels as sharp and as good if not marginally better than the day I bought it from the dealership, the mechanic that services my car is full of praise for Synthetic oils.

@MotorHeadGreg OK good for you.

I'm not picky with brands, but I would never use synthetics!

I used Amsoil for four years in my 2001 Ford F150, talk about sludge! Bought a 2006 F150 and been using Mobil1 in it for five years and NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!

My '97 Volvo recommended oil changes every 10,000 miles. I did it more often but it's what the manual recommends and the style driving you do.

@nanthony777 If you live in North America you can get it directly from them. It cost 30$ per year to have account with them and oild cost about 25$ per galon.

What I do is open account pay 30 $ then buy enough oil for motorcycle and car that would last me another 2 years and then I dont renew account until next time I need oil :D

@timhvac100 Why is mobil better then amsoil ? I am not mechanic but winter time its much easier to start car at -27 C that runs amsoil then mobil.

Other thing is that amsoil cost half price of mobil one :)
