Amsoil vs Rotella

[badyota82]

Well it's about time for my truck to get a little lovin. Her and I seem to have a bit of a love/hate relationship, and I'd like to keep her as happy as I can. She's about to get new oil, fuel, coolant filters, oil, and revX for good measure.

My question for you guys is exactly what the topic says.

Amsoil 5w-40 synthetic or Rotella T6 5w-40 synthetic? I run the T6 in her now, but I see alot of guys are running amsoil.

Any real advantage?

Thanks!

Oh boy....you've opened Pandora's Box! You'll get varying answers no different than Bud vs. Miller, Coke v. Pepsi, etc.

Personally, I use both. I use AMSOIL in my 6.0 Powerstroke and I use Rotella in my diesel tractors. I'm pleased with both. AMSOIL is tad pricier than Rotella but I started with AMSOIL in the truck and just haven't changed.

As soon as I can find where my oil leak is coming from I'm switching over to Amsoil. I pretty much put amsoil in every thing I own. I may try the dual remote filter set up. It gets pricey though.

Rotella t6, if something is going to let loose, amsoil won't keep that from happening, youll just have more money to repair it.

Amsoil for Me even in a Metropolitan area is a pain in the butt to buy .. I called rep after rep and never received one call or email response .. I flat out gave up

they have a Mary K kind of distributorship system and it plain sucks
actually I bet Mary K is easier to get ,, maybe they should carry Amsoil LOL

I know a lot of people don't like to pay for shipping, but I ordered all my Amsoil of there website, even got the 6 month membership to drop the price a bit.

I am running T6 in mine, but only because it is cheaper, and it was the first synthetic oil i put in the truck. Everything else other than tranny is synthetic now. I even got the Amsoil Bypass oil filtration.

Haha yeah I figured so, just didn't know if it was like a penzoil to Mobil 1 type difference, or just a red apples to green apples kind of difference.

I don't know of anyone locally that carries Amsoil, so probably will just stick with T6.

Thanks for the input fellas!
