Man that stuff is expensive though. I certainly wouldn't leave oil in a gasoline engine for 15k miles, but I was thinking maybe I'd change it every 7500.

I've never seen this "ams" stuff, where do you get it?
Is it good to just replace the filter every 3k and then
add something like Lucas to put the additives back in?
I've used all kinds of oil and never had any problem with none of them but I have a friend that lives in Richmond that sell amsoil and sense i don't change it like i should i read up on it it and it sounded ok, so when i buy a car the first oil change i put it in and I've never had a problem. if i couldn't get it i wouldn't shot myself or nothing like that, but it works for me. most additive don't do nothing, i don't use them. go over to search and look up AMSOIL and read up on it. if you can believe the test it beats all other oils by a long ways. i don't believe much of anything i read, but it serve my need.
