Mobil 1

[Lester]

Hi everyone, I use the Amsoil synthetic, along with the Amsoil filters'.
I've gone the 25,000 miles in all my cars I've owned (my 90 80q-now, quantum
syncro-gone, corrado G60-gone) and the only car that gave us a problem was
my wifes 94 Honda Passport. The oil did just what Amsoil said it would, it
cleaned out all the carbon deposits and other "crud" that had filled in weak
spots in her gaskets. When it was clean, there started to be oil leaks. When
we went back to regular "oil" the leaks slowed down considerably. We know
run no synthetic in her car, because it's cheaper then replacing a head
gasket.
When Amsoil fails me, then I'll give it up...but that hasn't happened yet.
HTH,
Bob Lester
