[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3931309, member: 3099"] I've been using it for I don't even know how many years. I got to thinking and it has to be over 30 years now. I put their 100:1 two stroke oil in my brand spanking new Lawn Boy mower mixed at 2oz in 1 gallon which works out to about 85:1. I did that because it was just easier to mix 2oz instead of some partial oz quantity and it worked out even at the end of the bottle. It didn't burn up so I kept doing that. Still didn't burn up and it ran great. That mower ended up falling apart around that little 2 stroke engine which was still running like it did the day I first fired it up years before. Amsoil does what they say it does. Now I only change my oil once a year and don't even worry about the milage unless I approach 15,000 which I then pay attention to and change if necessary. When I was on the road every day I ran their 0W30 Series 2000 oil 28,000 miles on a change. That oil was rated for up to 35,000 mile change intervals (depending on driving conditions). I'd drop the filter, screw on another, top it off and continue on every 6 to 8k. UOA at the end said to change but only because the TBN had finally dropped, the wear metals and viscosity were all still good. [/QUOTE]
