The internet is also a great place to develop a thicker skin and stop giving a rat's ___ what people think of you. Would you want into a bar and start taking to some truckers and walk out thinking that all the info you got about turbo diesels was legit? Baseball game, cookout, whatever, the point is that there has always been good and bad information, the internet just preserves the conversation.

Hi, I find out that the full synthetic oil 5W-30 sold by Mobil1, is a generic oil with low additive in sodium. Not synthetic! I am now looking for my next oil change to have AMS oil. This is 100% synthetic oil. I not like to change the oil every 3-5000 Miles. At 12000 Miles changing the oil is much better for me. Special now after the engine treatment/cleaning with Kerosene. Please let me know if you use 100% synthetic oil the brand name is AMS. Thank you.

Mobil says "Mobil 1™ is an advanced full synthetic motor oil". I used to be an AMSOIL dealer, but it was hard to compete against Mobil 1.

@vintage42. Hi! Sorry to hear about that oil competition. Because you have more experience with oils.I have a question. If one wants to get a 100% synthetic oil for his/her engine, where we can find? like AutoZone store? or how to get the best deal from the dealer? Thank you.
