I want to run the best synthetic oil I can find because of the turbos, any reason NOT to run Amsoil?

And if your answer is price, that's not much help unless you can explain why Amsoil is inferior...

Thanks

what tangible difference do you expect to experience by using one oil over another?

the biggest difference you will experience if you do your own oil change is the way the bottle looks as you pour it into your engine.

Amsoil has proven to eliminate the tip in knock in DI ford engines. (And subaru engines) It's also proven to last 3 times longer than motorcraft in turbo engines. And is more resistant to heat and fuel dilution than motorcraft.

Ok, I’ll ask.
Proven by whom?

I’d be interested to read it.

Also on the list is Valvoline full synthetic modern engine motor oil

Per several folks on this forum (march discussion) for its use in a turbo engine.

Bonus- its at walmart.

Motorcraft has to be changed at factory intervals.

Amsoil is GUARANTEED to last 15k miles.

Same with both oil filters.

The di knock reduction will take me a little while to find it was sent out to the amsoil dealers. But I'm sure you can find it on Google. Search ford ecoboost amsoil test.

The only thing Amsoil has proven is how to be a master at multi tiered marketing

Right. Use any quality synthetic in the recommended viscosity and change every 5k with normal use, more often if racing/ towing.
Golden.
