You can get Mobil 1 5W-40 or 10W-40 at Walmart for half the price of Amsoil.

IMO, Amsoil is nothing but over-hyped propoganda since it's marketed with a pyramid scheme. It's a good oil, but not THAT good. Great marketing decision on their part though.

If Shane says it works as good I will by all means do it...I am not putting my brand new motor at risk though, lol. I have seen comparisons of M1 vs Amsoil and usually Amsoil is way ahead but I am no oil expert.

Look at who pays for those "independent" lab tests though.

LOL so does Scheides. I personally love it. It saves me a ton of money and they've done what most other American companies can only dream of. Plus they bring jobs to depressed areas and employ the otherwise unemployable.

I don't hate the store or the employees or the atmosphere...i just hate how they do business...shitting on everyone they can basically to make a small profit.

I don't disagree they run a tight ship, but I go to target whenever possible for that kind of store.

I only go to Walmart typically when I am lazy and one is close or at 3am or something when its all that's open.
