    Stopped All Previous Engine Leaks
    By  GLENN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Orlando, FL  on  April 14, 2025
    After much research and thought I finally decided to switch to synthetic motor oil last year in my 1979 Corvette with a 350 crate engine with low mileage. There had been several oil leaks from the engine area but after running Amsoil Z-Rod, the leaks all stopped. I used it with the Wix oil filter. This year I did the annual oil change and still no leaks and the engine actually purrs differently from previously without the Amsoil. I am a believer.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Ultimate Protection
    By  ANTHONY,  a  Verified Buyer  on  October 11, 2024
    I use this oil in a Ford Cleveland 408 stroker and my 66 Mustang GT 289 A- code engine. After a refresh on the stroker, I literally could have reused the bearings. This is 550+ hp street engine that gets drove like it's supposed to. I use Amsoil in everything I drive. Also, broke in the 408 on the Dyno with the Amsoil break in oil.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
