*** REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL WITH AMSOIL ***
__________________________________________________
Amsoil Extended Oil Drain Intervals
--- 2 to 3 Times Manufacturers Recommendations ---
AMSOIL offers extended oil change intervals because we start with superior base oils -- natural gas and not Middle East crude oil -- and and the additive package is properly balanced, blended, and capable of performing for extended oil drains --- 2 to 3 times manufacturers recommendations.
Amsoil's Extended Oil Drain Interval: It is the right thing to do for the consumer, for the environment, and a way to reduce american dependence on foreign oil.
Longer Drain Intervals = Less Oil Used.
__________________________________________________
PROPER FILTRATION IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT
*** AMSOIL Ea (25k Mile or 1 year) Oil Filters ***
_______________  _______________
Extended Oil Filter Service Intervals
AMSOIL Ea Oil (EaO) Filters are guaranteed for 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, when used in conjunction with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil in gasoline and diesel vehicles in normal service. They are guaranteed for 15,000 miles for severe service. This coincides with the AMSOIL 25,000-mile/one year motor oil drain interval, adding even more convenience for motorists by consolidating routine maintenance.

REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL WITH AMSOIL
Improved Fuel Economy With Amsoil = Higher MPG
Industry tests have shown improved fuel economy of 2 - 5% in vehicles using synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customer testimonials tell of even greater savings. If all cars in America used AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and drive train fluids, we would save enough fuel to eliminate our need for thousands of barrels of oil.
Higher MPG = Less Gasoline Used = Less Oil Used.

Eye_Trip,
You are always flamming me, but I take the high road. I know I will never convince you, but for everyone else let's talk briefly about saving motor oil with extended oil change intervals.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (2003 - a bit dated), "There are 107 million U.S. households, each with an average of 1.9 cars, trucks or sport utility vehicles. That equals 204 million "passenger" vehicles." This does not include tractor trailers, industry vehicles, etc., ... just passenger vehicles.
Assuming 204,000,000 passenger vehicles and 15k miles driven annually:
3k mile oil changes = 5 changes per year. At 5 qts. / change = 1,275,000 gallons / yr.
10k mile oil changes = 1.5 changes per year. At 5 qts. / change = 382,500 gallons / yr.
... and 1,275,000 gallons minus 382,500 gallons = 892,500 gallons saved per year ...
... and 892,500 gallons saved per year at $25 gallon = $22 million saved each year on motor oil.
It's Simple -- Longer Drain Intervals = Less Oil Used -- and less in land fills, drains, etc.
__________________
Improved Fuel Economy With Amsoil = Higher MPG
If you average 20 miles per gallon and travel 15,000 miles per year you use 750 gallons of gas per year. At the present cost of unleaded gas ($2.39) in my area, you'll spend $1792.50 per year on fuel. If you get just 1 mile per gallon increase (5%), your gas usage will decrease to 714 gallons or $1,706.46 per year. That's a savings of $86.04 per year assuming only one mile per gallon increase -- and the cost difference to switch your motor oil to AMSOIL is far less than $86.04 per year. So ... the 892,500 gallons of motor oil saved each and every year is a FREEBIE ... it costs us nothing, and we save 892,500 gallons of motor oil and $22 million per year.

A lot of vehicle owners are still being sold on the 3k mile oil change. Why? Because it puts more money in the BIG OIL COMPANIES pockets. PERIOD.
__________________________________________________
*** Amsoil 25k Mile Extended Oil Drain Interval ***
(Why not extended drains? Oil change intervals in Europe have been 12k - 15k miles for many, many years - but their oil standards are higher than the minimum API standards in the U.S. - and YES ... AMSOIL meets and exceeds European Standards.)
* REDUCE AMERICAN DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL *
AMSOIL has been in the oil industry for 34 years. Due to Amsoil's superior synthetic composition and advanced performance additives, AMSOIL performs much longer than do conventional petroleum and other synthetic motor oils. No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year oil drain interval recommendation (whichever comes FIRST).
Thirty-four (34) years of Test Results PROVE our oil is superior - and capable of extended drains up to 25k miles per year.
However, the 25,000 mile /1 year that is on the back of the bottle is NOT an absolute! One must realize that is for non-severe service (highway miles where you have stable operating conditions) and that the indicated drain interval also has a time period of 1 year maximum as well.
***** READ THIS PLEASE EVERYONE *****
Under a combination of city and highway driving - AMSOIL recommends up to 2 or 3 times longer drain intervals, it means up to 2 or 3 times the equipment manufacturer's recommendation (If your owners manual states 5k mile oil changes, then 12-15k mile oil changes would be alright based on driving habits. The harder you drive, the sooner the change.
Proper filtration is also very important. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are also rated for 25k miles or one year (whichever comes first).
Notice: Modifications to engine will change service intervals.
Notice: More frequent service may be required
under severe service operating conditions.
AMSOIL = 34 years of manufacturing oil and mountains of data and tests to make these claims possible.
__________
AMSOIL = A Company of Firsts and a documented history of innovation and leadership.
- First to develop an API-rated 100 percent synthetic motor oil.
- First to introduce the concept of "extended drain intervals" with a recommended 25,000-mile/1-year drain interval.
- First U.S. company to utilize the NOACK volatility test as a standard of performance excellence.
- First to produce synthetic motor oils for diesel engines, racing engines, turbo and marine engines.
- First to introduce synthetic oils that legitimately contribute to improving fuel efficiency.
- First to manufacture synthetic gear lube for automotive use.
- First to manufacture a 100:1 pre-mix synthetic 2-cycle oil.
- First to manufacture a synthetic automatic transmission fluid for automotive use.

who is selling the 3,000 mile oil change? READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL!!
Mine says oil changes every 7500 miles, more frequent if you drive under harsher conditions like stop-and-go traffic and towing. I use synthetic and change usually at 5,000. Why? Little extra insurance.
My wife's 01 Grand Am owners manual says to follow the oil life system or 1 year. As I pointed out before, a 1 year oil change is nothing new, amsoil did not pioneer that. I run synthetic in her car as well, I change hers at 5,000-7000. she does not drive nearly as much as I do and not in nearly as harsh conditions.
I drive about 50% highway and 50% city, she drives about 85% highway and 15% city. I drive more in dirty conditons and my percentage is likely to change, i'm devotion more time to fishing and camping.

Thank u answerman,
Dan,
You and answerman are both correct. I was addressing the Quickie Lubes and they are still advertising 3k mile oil changes - and I still hear many people talk about it as well. FYI - My grandfather's owners manual stated 500 mile oil changes (my how things have changed).
Amsoil Extended Oil Drain Intervals
In your case Dan, let's address 5k mile oil changes vs. 10k mile oil changes:
Assuming 204,000,000 passenger vehicles and 15k miles driven annually:
5k mile oil changes = 3 changes per year. At 5 qts. / change = 765,000 gallons / yr.
10k mile oil changes = 1.5 changes per year. At 5 qts. / change = 382,500 gallons / yr.
... and 765,000 gallons minus 382,500 gallons = 382,500 gallons saved per year ...
... and 382,500 gallons saved per year at $25 gallon = $ 9,562,500 saved each year on motor oil.
* Longer Drain Intervals = Less Oil Used & $$$ Saved *
PLUS -- the added benefits of using superior synthetic lubricants! I wonder what my grandfather would think if he were alive today ;-)

Steve, Lets look at those figures.
204,000,000 cars
15,000 Ave miles per year
----------------------
3,060,000,000,000 miles traveled
divid that (Just for fun) 25mpg
----------------------
122,400,000,000 of gas used
Multiply by $2.50 per gallon
----------------------
$306,000,000,000 for gas
I don't think they are going to go broke with 10mil less. And I really don't think anyone who buys a dakota is really that worried about 1 mile per gallon.

3k mile changes are STILL used today for 2 reasons.
1. It puts money in their pockets.
2. They will not make their products any better.
There are a few companies that DO make a high grade oils. They are called SYNTHETICS!!!! Look it up, read about it, buy it, use it. Quit putting horse piss in your engine.
AMSOIL may or may not make a quailty oil. Don't know, didn't care. But, I didn't need AMSOIL trying to tell me that the company had a revolution when clearly this technology has been around for as long as someone has been making a better oil.
"reduce dependency?"....HA! Dependency is based on the saturation and carbon absorbtion rate of the oil. This is ONLY directly related to how well your engine burns. No two engines are the same. So.... your oil reduces dependency? So...It absorbs less that other synth brands? That would be the only way it could last that long...right? If it doesn't saturate and breakdown, where does all the crap stay? Oh!? In my engine? Yes, I'll have 4 qts of that!
I don't think I have ever met 2 people that have the same opinions on oil, filters, nor how tightly you should twist the towel before whipping the salesman but, one day will all come together! We will agree on 10 towel twists and above the waist only ;-).

If I may play devil's advocate for a minute...
1. Where does AMSOIL get it's petro to make AMSOIL? Does it use resources
found in the good 'ol USA? The post starts off with reducing dependance
on foriegn oil - that's why I ask. going from 3k oil changes to 10k reduces
foreign dependance one way, another would be to buy oil drilled in the US not
from overseas.
2. If your using MOBILE1 or some other synthetic, aren't the oil changes
every 7,500 miles or is that just with hiway miles?

Well perhaps they reason they are still advertising those 3,000 oil changes is beacuse they are pushing dino oil instead of synthetics. I don't know this is just a guess as I have not had anyone change my oil for me in many years.
My guess is that everyone here on this site changes their own oil. Makes sense since this is kind of a helper for do-it-yourselfers.

Eye_Trip,
I am NOT talking about making someone (I assume you mean "BIG OIL") "go broke" as you put it - by asking consumers to consider Amsoil and EXTEND OIL DRAINS (10k to 25k mile intervals) ... vs. "Big Oil Motor Oil" oil change recommendations of 3k - 5k miles. (my local Quickie Lube uses Castrol GTX and still recommends 3k mile oil changes). My conversation is far simpler than that ...
Why be Wasteful of a Natural Resource in SHORT SUPPLY ?!?
I am talking about doing everything we can to reduce our dependence on #1) OIL in general, #2) FOREIGN OIL. So all your talk doesn't add to the topic of conversation.
__________________________________________________
Everyone else,
I am talking about motor oil (synthetic vs. non-synthetic).
If everyone used Amsoil and extended their oil drain interval ... we would need less motor oil each and every year ... it's THAT SIMPLE.
No matter where - if we can reduce consumption - we import less.
Longer Drain Intervals = Less Oil Used = Less Oil Imported
Higher MPG = Less Oil Used = Less Oil Imported.
TRUE Synthetic's = Made from Natural Gas and NOT Crude Oil = Less Oil Imported
IT IS SO SIMPLE ... LONGER DRAIL INTERVALS / HIGHER MPG / NATURAL GAS = Less Oil Imported.

I agree with extended oil changes but your not going to even hurt the big oil companies. as their main profits are from gas sales. sure you may save a few miles a gal. with syn. but still wont be enough to put a hurt on the big dogs. after all. how much has engine oil prices gone up compared to gas prices. not that much I must say. so untill someone comes up with a fuel alternative that can compete with the major oil companies. they will still dictate what the prices will be no matter how outragious it maybe.
funny comparison. the senate is more worried about baseball players using steriods. than about the american public being price gouged by the oil companies at the pump. the government is ran by the highest bidder plain and simple.
