Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 08, 2009 5:57 pm) Sure it is. If BMW says AMSOIL has never failed in their engines or voided a warranty, what more do you want? Don't you think if AMSOIL voided a warranty, someone, somewhere would have proof? Did you check the BBB website for any warranty issues?

Replying to: timvipond (Nov 08, 2009 6:03 pm) You need to prove that is the case. Do you have the statement from BMW saying amsoil has never failed in their engines nor been responsible for a voided warranty due to its use? I'm waiting for a statement from BMW to that point.

Just ask BMW if AMSOIL has ever voided a warranty. Pretty simple. You should ask them yourself, since you won't believe me. Did you check the BBB for any AMSOIL warranty issues? How come you won't answer that? No warranty issues are listed.

Replying to: timvipond (Nov 08, 2009 7:05 pm) So, may we please move on so that I don't have to begin removing posts? No one likes to write in disappearing ink. It's a waste of your good time and mine. Mr Shiftright Host PS: Or, if the community feels this topic is exhausted, I can retire it for a while. It's over 8,000 posts, quite an accomplishment.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 08, 2009 7:31 pm) "Amsoil, which claims to be the world’s largest independent marketer of synthetic engine oil, stakes its reputation on longer drain intervals (up to 35,000 miles) and backs it up with a full replacement engine warranty. Moreover, it has done so for three decades without a single proven case of oil-related failure in an engine covered by its warranty. Claims against the warranty have been made but no engine failure, nor any excess wear, has been l directly linked or confirmed to any Amsoil product, the company says."

Done reading until Amsoil goes away. Done. I don't want to read another thing about AMSOIL. I don't care. I don't.

There are experts here on synthetics. I don't understand the difference so I've asked before and will ask again in this lull in the postings. Have Castol EDGE and Quaker State Horsepower. Both full synthetics. Edge promises 15000 miles drain interval (or one year). Which one should I use for the first fill of synthetic for the winter in a 3800 Buick with 90K?
