    Oil life
    By  ROBERT,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Edgewater,(Maryland)   on  September 13, 2021
    This oil seems to break down at approximately 125 hours. The oil turned black and got really thin. This caused my oil pressure to drop 7-10 lbs. I’m going to give it one more try before I witch brands. This oil is being used in a Cummins 5.9QSB that is in my boat and they recommend 250 hour oil changes. This oil will never make it that long. Thank you for your time.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    GMC Duramax 6.5 LBZ (2007)
    By  TED,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Colorado   on  August 25, 2021
    Run this in my 2007 pre-DEF engine since new. First ran for 15K and then tested results with SOAP analysis—results were excellent. Now run the oil at least 30K miles, changing filters every 15K. Good MPG and cold wx starts to 0 degrees F. Highly recommend for towing and tough engine use conditions.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Great diesel oil for pre-dpf engines
    By  ALEK J,  a  Verified Buyer  from  NC  on  July 30, 2021
    I've been using this oil nearly exclusively for the past 15 years in my 2006 Duramax. I average 35,000 miles between oil changes and monitor every 10-12k miles when I change the filters. Amsoil has always provided great protection for my engine. The high TBN lets me use the oil longer than any conventional oil and my truck is running great with 256,000+ miles. Great oil, I'll continue to use it.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    By  KIT,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Marysville, WA  on  July 30, 2021

    Going for 50,000 mi
    By  ALEK J,  a  Verified Buyer  from  NC  on  July 11, 2021
    I’ve been using this oil for 15 years with excellent results. High TBN promotes its use for extended oil change intervals. I’ve run several 40,000 mi intervals. Just added the PPE oil pan and filter adding an extra 2qt capacity to the engine, and draining 99% of the old oil. Hoping to get 50,000 mi on this oil!
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    14 years and going
    By  PHILIP R,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Bradford PA  on  May 21, 2021
    I bought a used 2005 Kubota compact tractor BX22 in 2007. The first thing I did when I got it home was to call the Amsoil tech line and get fluid recommendations. Series 3000 was the first choice. I have never switched. Fourteen years later the little three cylinder D-905 engine is still just as strong.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Better than Expected
    By  Cambren,  a  Verified Buyer  from  FL  on  May 21, 2021
    I used this in my marine diesel engine. I had some reservations based on past experience with synthetic diesel oil from another manufacturer (noisy operation), but this far exceeded my expectations. Since switching from the industry standard mineral based oil to Amsoil Heavy Duty and Marine Diesel Oil, I have higher oil pressure and cooler operating temps, and the noise level seems lower as well. I am very satisfied.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    01’ F250 7.3l Platinum Edition 400k miles
    By  RONNEY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Texas  on  May 07, 2021
    Folks, I switched to Amsoil at 150,000 miles now I have 400,000 miles on my truck. I believe the quality of Amsoil and there filters are keeping the engine wear down. My last Blackstone oil sample (paraphrasing here) recommended I increase oil change intervals if desired because the sample indicates an engine of around 130,000 miles. I especially enjoy the the super quick delivery to my doorstep.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
