I have a 94 Plymouth Grand Voyager minivan with the 3.3L V-6 that has just over 200,000 miles on it. I use Amsoil 0W30 which I change ever 25,000 miles with a Hasting LF-107 filter change at approx, every 12,500 miles plus add about a quart at each filter change. AMSOIL cost is for 16 filters at about $7.00 each and 50 quarts of oil at $7.50 each, for a total of just under $500.00. If I had gone to Wally world and got their special $19.95 oil and filter deal every 3000 miles I would have spent over $1300.00. To me, the standard oil looks like a rip-off and I am not sure my van engine would still be in service, had I used regular oil. Also I have sent less oil back to the recycler and have not use the Arab's oil but rather the crops grown by American farmers. I have used AMSOIL in everthing I own since 1979 and have yet to have a lube failure. Even use 100 to 1 two cycle oil in my 23 year old chain saw. My Case VAC gets 20W50 to help its low pressure pump. Everything starts well in sub zero weather and holds good pressure in 90 degree heat, which Wisconsin always seems to be able to provide.
