I use this oil in my '02 2500 Ram Diesel to protect that engine for the long haul. The 5.9L Cummins is the last of the "loud ones" for Dodge. I want to try for 750,000 to 1 million miles before it needs any real work put into it. That sound is one of the reasons that I bought it in the first placeI love how it runs and I get great longevity out of the oil. If you run a diesel you would be crazy to not try some in yours. Worth every penny!

First time have used Amsoil diesel oil. So far so good. However I didn't notice much change in fuel economy after using Amsoil 5W40 SS diesel oil for my first oil change in this truck, in town driving. High way driving did show some improvement, all the way up to 30.2 mpg, previously had gotten 29 mpg. I think part of this is my motor is still breaking in as diesels take awhile to do so. Overall I am pleased & have used Amsoil in both of our vehicles going on 18 years.

I was told it was it would help eliminate dust particles from the DEF system that build-up in an engine. It has helped with eliminate dust buildup in the engine significantly. Immediately after using the first time, many miles ago, I felt more power being produced from my engine. I'm a very satisfied customer.

I have used Amsoil for 20 years. I like the extended oil change intervals, it saves me money and doesn't damage my equipment. I took oil samples and had them tested after 18,000 miles. They came back no wear and more mileage before changing. This was on a 1978 Dodge van with 180,000 miles. I currently use Amsoil in my 2006 Ford F350 6.0 diesel FX4 in all gear boxes, and 2012 Ford fusion. I am very satisfied with Amsoil performance.

I use AMSOIL in my 2007 Dodge RAM 3500, my wife's 2013 Ford Edge, 3 Waverunners, and all of my power equipment. I have not experienced any issues with any of these applications. Warranties are not voided, and fuel mileage in both vehicles is improved compared to
conventional oils.
My Dodge Ram has the Cummins 6.7 liter diesel with 268k miles. The truck is still purring like a kitten, and doesn't burn a lick of oil. I am still on the original transmission without any re-builds as of yet. (very uncommon for the Mopar trannies). I extend the oil change intervals to every 9k miles, even though the manual states not to extend. I have not witnessed much , if any fuel dilution in the oil.
My Wife's Ford Edge has a mere 78k miles on it. I change the AMSOIL Premium oil in her car every 15k miles, even though the AMSOIL reference sheets state she could go 25k. I just like being careful.
I run the marine 10W30 in the Yamaha Waverunners and have smooth acceleration, without any vibration or oil burn.
Overall, I love the AMSOIL products and would recommend to anyone looking for a top end, fully synthetic, highly protective oil.

I never knew you could see the difference in oil. I switched to amsoil a few months ago. I noticed easier starting in sub zero weather, and a slight increase in fuel mileage. I was running a synthetic before. Amazing.
Reviewed by celtic:
I became aware of And oil in 1985. I knew how good synthetic oil was as my older brother was a petroleum engineer and he declared that synthetic oil would soon be the dominant motor oil. I had my brother run some tests on a quart of And oil and he reported that the stuff was off the charts. He and I became long time customers. I have never had any type of engine failure due to poor oil performance.

The oil in my 199 F-250 SD with 7.3 diesel, bought new, use to get its oil changed every 3-5K miles for the first 6 oil changes. Then the switch was made to Amsoil Synthetic, with Amsoil oil filter. The oil still looks new after the first 3-4K miles and is changed every 10K miles. Although I have had no problem with this vehicle related to lubrication, the vehicle may be considered low mileage with 262,000 miles and o8il consumption has been greatly decreased. Love this oil.

I've been using Amsoil motor oil in my 2007 Ford F350 diesel now for past 9 years. Each time I change the oil, which is every 5000 to 6000 miles, I also take an oil sample for lab analysis. The lab reports have always good. No appreciable wear, and it's viscosity after 6000 miles is well within acceptable ranges. Internal parts of the engine remain extremely clean, no deposits or sludge buildup.
I also use Amsoil XL motor oil in my 2016 Subaru Outback, and before that, a 2010 Forester and never had any engine problems.
I am extremely sattisfied with all their products, from engine oils to gear lubes, which I have been using in my F350 for 9 years.

I bought a new GMC 3500 Duramax in 2005. The first OIL change was AMSOIL Max Duty Diesel pool 15W-40. With this OIL I only need to change OIL once a year (AMSOIL recommends once every 20000 miles) and I only have 10k per year. The OIL is costly but with the perfered fostered card ($20.00 per year) you save in the long run.

Max Duty 15w-40 Diesel Oil = Good Stuff
I am relatively new to Amsoil but have and have both Duramax and Cummins - currently have a L5P Duramax with an Amsoil Duel Bypass oil filter set up which I did not have on my previous Duramax. Thus, apples to apples may not be in the following:
1. Blackstone reports come back much better than with the Rotella T-6 I was using in the prior '15 Duramax actually with about 7500 vs 5000 miles.
I got some usage w/Rotella T6.
2. A bit of oil usage with the Rotella t-6 but absolutely none with the Amsoil.
Repeat not apples to apples exactly as different engines and the L%P has a duel bypass set up on it.
