[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3931244, member: 24577"] I know this has probably been discussed numerous times but I am posting this anyway. My portable generator sprung an oil leak and it got people talking about using synthetic versus conventional in a small engine. Well this got me looking into this very topic a lot. Then I segued into vehicles. I was reading up on many different kind did motor oil. I have known about Amsoil for a while but have never tried it. Well, after what I read and the data I saw, I will be immediately switching to Amsoil! They have 3rd party testing that shows just how good it is against some of the top competition. I use Mobile 1 synthetic in both my vehicles and was very disappointed with how it performed. In some tests, it downright sucked. But in each test none came close to Amsoil. The next best on most tests was Royal Purple. Do any of y’all run this oil? What are your thoughts on it. Yes, it is extremely expensive but I don’t care about that. I want the best. I just wish I would have used this oil long ago. Now I do use a product called Tripak in my engines. I know the US distributor of it really well. Actually since I was a kid. This stuff is the real deal. If you have never heard of it, I suggest looking it up. This is off topic a little bit but a friend of mine from work got a new silencer and came over to shoot this summer. I installed the muzzle device that came with it to his rifle. I didn’t get it on as tight as I should have and when it heated up after shooting it was on so tightly I couldn’t budge it. So the silencer was stuck to the muzzle break. I broke out some Tripak LDL 2 ( a penetration oil like WD40), and sprayed his muzzle device with it. It broke free with ease within a few seconds. My friend at work could not believe how well it worked. I have tested it on stuck bolts on my wife’s car before. The WD40 sat over night and wouldn’t loosen some rusted nuts. I sprayed it with LDL 2 and again within seconds it broke loose. But back to oil, I will be using this oil on all my engines from here on out. To include my small engines. As far as using synthetic in a small engine, I never saw one bit of evidence or explanation as to why it shouldn’t be used in a small engine. The only thing I read was to not use it to break in an engine. But after the engine has been broken in, then full synthetic can be used without issue. [/QUOTE]
