Amsoil switch=No more blow-by!
Just switched from Mobil Delvac1 5w-40 synthetic to Amsoil synthetic & noticed that I now have NO blow-by oil coming out of the puke tube.....This is even after a hard run, where before with the Delvac, I would often have a couple of drops! 
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, but I have a hard time believing that the switch to Amsoil 15w-40 HDD is doing it. 
Anyone wanna comment on this interesting phenomenon? I thought as engines get older, you get MORE oil puking out of the tube, not less...<br><br>FWIW, I have 93,000mi on the engine, 23K of which have been heavily bombed....

On 15-40 rotella I would usually put in 1 qt. every oil change under heavy use. Since I have switched to Amsoil, the only time I add oil is when I change my filter or when I do an oil change.<br>Why? I dunno - but I ain't complaining.

I typically go through maybe a half a quart between oil changes, and most of that is lubing the dront differential exterior.... (Through the draft tube) Delo 15-40, 78,000 miles and 45,000 bombed.

C'mon, Steve, enough w/the Amsoil hype.

I have switched from Castrol GTX to Valvoline Premium Blue- very good move. Less oil consumption- about a quart on 6000 miles before, now virtually nothing, less rattling and knocking when cold. <br>And a whole lot cheaper! <br><br>AlpineRAM
