You can change over now. You should buy a flush like Amsoil makes to flush the engine before pouring in 100% synthetic. You may think with only 11,000 miles that engine is clean but if you flush it you'll see it's not. Regular engine oil has already started to build a film. So far as warranty, Amsoil went to court many years ago and got that straight. The dealer has to back the warranty of the car and Amsoil backs the oil. If the oil fails Amsoil takes care of repair. If engine fails dealer takes care of repair. The engine would have to fail because of oil failure for Amsoil to pay. That isn't going to happen if you follow instructions. Dealer has no choice. Some years back there were some dealers telling folks they had to use a certain name brand and weight of oil. If they tell you that then they have to give you the oil at no charge. That was a court ruling also. Now you can tell the dealer what you're about to do and he may or may not go along with you and argue. Or you can go ahead and change to synthetic oil and drive extended drains and never say a word and keep down a fuss. As long as you keep the proper oil level, change filters and oil at the proper time you have a warranty from Amsoil and the dealer. Think about this. Have you ever heard of an engine failing because of oil? I haven't. It's because of the lack of oil. I've used Amsoil since 1989. Never had a problem with it. I use it in two diesel tractors(my dealer knows about both of them), 3 trucks, a jeep and 1 car. They're from 1987-2005. Have driven as many as 16,000 miles on a change and average 14,000 per year on a nissan. Have engines with 6,000 miles to 258,000 miles and none get but one oil change per year with filter and a second filter change at 6 months. Again as far as warranty that battle was fought many years ago and the auto suppliers lost. If the dealer argues, get him to call the top brass in his company and he'll get set straight. If he won't call, you can.

Today's Featured Article -
Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
