Hi. I've been investigating Amsoil and have found a dealer in my area. He says his Amsoil 15-40 is good for up to 40,000 kilometres or almost 20K miles. That's fine and dandy, but my question is if I only put on about 15,000 miles a year is it still worth it? Where do you draw the line between satisfying warranty requirements and running a good oil the duration of it's lifetime? I'm thinking that if I change oil once in the spring and once in the fall the cost would be the same as the 4-5 oil changes I did every year with regular oil in my F-150.
Has anyone had any troubles with warranty issues because you were running longer on better oil and not coming in for a service every 4 months??
Also, I live in Canada, so it's cold 5 months of the year. Do I need to switch to a lighter oil in the winter if I keep the truck in a heated garage, keeping cold starts to a minimum??
Thanks for any insight you may have to my thoughts!
