Example If You Change Your Own Oil:
Conventional Motor oil companies recommend 3,000 mile drain intervals
Conventional 10W-30 Motor Oil (40 quarts needed for 25,000 miles) @ $1.50/qt x 40 = $60.00
8 Standard Oil Filters @ $5.00 per filter x 8 = $40.00 ____________________ Total $100.00
AMSOIL recommends 25,000 mile/ 1 year drain intervals
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (6 quarts needed for 25,000 miles) @ $5.70/qt x 6 = $34.20
2 AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filters @ $10.00 per filter x 2 = $20.00 ____________________ Total $54.20
Comparison based on 25,000 miles driven per year and 5 quart oil capacity, with one quart top-off oil for filter change.
