AMS Oil any good?

was checking out there website and was curious if there Oil is good stuff to use for my 2023 Tacoma? I don't know shit about oil changes & diff oil changes and ETC, but I have 1 more year of Toyota care then after watching SO many YouTube videos I am going to do my own Oil changes & rear & front diff oil changes.

 

I used Redline

 

I mean Ams oil has a bit of a cult following so yeah people say its good

edit: also good on ya for doing your research. TW is a great resource, plenty of walk throughs on here too to get you through fluid changes.

i’ve been using mobil 1

 

IMO it (Amsoil) isn't worth the money. Any name brand synthetic will serve the truck just fine. Amsoil's biggest draw is extended oil changes, which you should not really be doing anyways. It's a waste for 5K-10K oil change intervals.

 

what do you mean wen you say extended oil changes?

 

20,000-25,000 miles in between changes is what they originally touted it as.

 

biggest 'advantage' to amsoil is really their marketing and sponsorship stuff that actively supports a good number of motorsports categories.

but if you don't care about motorsports, and just want good oil, then it really doesn't matter.

 

Oil brands do not matter with Toyota. Buy whatever is on sale.

Haven't changed the oil on my current tacoma yet. But I'll be using Havoline like Chloe uses.

 

Amsoil = Scamzoil. 'Nuff said.

 

If you sign up for the membership, prices are decent. I have been 100% Amsoil the past 4-5 years and its been nice. Once I put the S/C in its been Amsoil. Before that it was 100% Mobile 1. I still change it every 5k or less.

 

Humans don't leave that long.

 

I have used different oils. I have also used different oils at the same time mixed in a bottle shaken up. Never had an issue. Nor has anyone I’ve known who has done it.
Done it, do it, and will continue to.

Amsoil doesn’t strip your pan bolts. Toyota does.

 

Oops 4-5 years!

 

I'll be using OEM filter and 0-20 synthetic Costco Kirkland motor oil every 5k once my Toyota Care expires

 

Someone here uses blood of the Cheetah.

 

#1 I'd never use Toyota care, because I don't want the just promoted wash boy on parole to be doing my work. If you can't do it yourself, find a trusty indy shop

#2 I'd use whatever OTC oil of the right spec is on sale at some local big box store

#3 I'd change the oil based on the owners manual recommended OCI for duty service. If you are stuck in the 'more often' mode, use the severe duty number.

#4 Don't overthink it.

 

The longest conversation in human history was when a Jehova Witness knocked on the door of an Amsoil fan boy.

OP; If buying designer oil makes you feel better then by all means buy the Amsoil. We all waste money on unnecessary shit!
