    Best oil I have ever used!!
    By  DAVE,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Windsor, Canada  on  November 30, 2024
    It is the best oil I have used. I feel more than confident my twin turbos on my 3.5 eco-boost are well protected. The proof of this occurred when my engine went in for warranty work for leaks and timing chain issues. The manufacturer was suggesting I was not taking care of the engine, but during teardown, the engine was perfectly clean with no trace of varnish. When asked what I use, there were no more questions and the warranty went through! I also find the engine starts and runs quite smoothly during the cold weather months with no loss of oil pressure. Combine this with the Amsoil oil filter, you habve a winning combination to protect your motor!
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
