as far as diesels go, i ran delo 400 in a dodge for 300,000 miles with zero oil related problems, have 100,000 on my present cummins with zero problems, and i run shell rotella2 synthetic in my motorcycle with zero problems.

my opinion will always be the same. if you change your own oil, and do it every 3,000 miles, any quality oil will do well, it isn't in the engine long enough to do any damage, go for quality filters, that is even more important, my crew chief got me to using k&n oil filters a long time ago, and i use their air and oil filters in everything including my bike. if you are lazy and let your oil go 8, 10, or 12,000 miles, you need the very finest most expensive synthetic you can find, and will probably still trash a motor.

clean oil is as cheap an insurance policy as you can get.
I am NOT a dealer. I am a customer and have been since 1985. I have Amsoil in every internal combustion powered engine I own and I am happy with the stuff.

1993 H-D FLHTC 172,000 miles
2003 H-D FLHRSEI 77,000 miles
1998 Dodge Intrepid 123,000 miles
2002 Dodge Ram 1500 88,000 miles
2006 Corvette Conv, 29,000 miles

none burn oil, all run very well and all have been lubed with Amsoil since first service.
