They make a decent product. However even amsoil doesn't recommened the
25,000 mile intervals without using a oil bypass filter, and testing
the oil.

If you talk to the their tech lines, they will recommend 1 yr or 10,000
to 12,000 mile changes with better filtering and/or testing the oil.

Also that only applies to the series 2000, or 3000 top of the line
oils. The regular line is about the same quality as Mobil 1 ( they buy
the base oils from them ). The XL product ( the cheapest line ) is on
par with lesser synthetics like castrol syntec and the other noname
brands at walmart...

Bottom line is they make decent quality products. I've used them, seen
oil analysis results etc, and in comparison to other stuff on the
market, they do what they claim it does...just make sure you read the
fine print well.
