You would however want to change your oil filter every 3-4K miles as that could cause some issues rocking that for 10-25k miles!
Amsoil is the first in synthetics as well, quality stuff i used it in my Engine, Transmission and differential on my 350Z.
Also use it in my daily driver Jaguar X type in the engine and manual trans, and transfer case.
Both cars it made the transmission feel sooooo much better, also in my Z switching from Mobil 1 to Amsoil i noticed less of a friction feel in the higher RPMs... My gas mileage went up a couple miles as well  |
I ran oil filters for 20K miles (Purolator Pure One) and the analysis showed they were still fine even at 20K.
Amsoil is good stuff, but it's a high priced boutique oil. The 25K OCI assumes your changing filters which require a top up of the oil in the sump which in turn renews the additive pack. That's how it lasts so long.
