I only use PP or M1. I'm sure Amsoil is good oil but they just don't sell it locally. When I first switched over to synthetic at 30k I used M1 for 2-3 oil changes. I then switch over to PP and honestly felt a change in performance. The only bad think I have herd about PP is it has more detergents in it.

All this oil discussion gives me a headache. I'm just going to keep using SuperTech and changing the oil when my truck tells me too.

I have been using 5w30 Castrol. Keeps me going. I used royal purple, then thought to myself...why waste the money. I notice nothing.
