Just put some of this in my F-150. All ready for winter now. Love this oil.
I have a 2009 Honda Fit and I used Mobil 1 5w20 full synthetic and the car ran worst. Next time I will use amsoil 0w20.
I ALWAYS REMOVE filters with a tool, after doing 15 a day my wrist hurts. I do anything I can to take strain off my wrists. I often intstall them with a bandwrench, but I do not over tighten.
Like filling the filter, l all ways do that when I change my oil, only makes sense, but I have run into problems not using genuine Honda filters, buy mine at the dealers, but only use Castro's oil. Thanks for the video😊
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
The Amsoil filter absolutely wrecks the Honda filter.. Honda doesn't make filters by the way
What kind of problems have you had with which filters?
Most people really have no concept of what a difference running a 100% synthetic oil will make. So many people complain about oil consumption and fuel dilution and all sorts of stuff that is ultimately caused by cheap oil. Deposits on the rings. Signature series in your engine and especially for your transmission on Hondas and Acuras... They'll run forever.
Hello and good day. I just want to know if that Amsoil Oil Filter will also work or compatible with my Honda CRV 2014 2.4 AWD with K24 Engine. Thank you
Yes, the AMSOIL lookup guide shows the same filter, an EA15K-13. Thanks for the question!
I have the same car, unfortunately in my country El Salvador I can only find the OE line and it cost the same of a signature series.
In case this might help, AMSOIL shows as the El Salvador distributor, www.fylsa.com.gt Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment !!

MidwestSynthetic i have a question. i have a honda civic, iam using penzzoil. how is AMSOIL better? i care about cleaner engine.
Thanks for question. Here's a couple links to help explain the superiority of synthetics for cleanliness.

Try it once and decide if it’s something you want inside your engine. Your vehicle will run better and longer.
It's 100% synthetic Pennzoil is not
I’m about to use Amsoil for the first time despite having listened it is too expensive. Here’s what I’ve calculated for my 2021 Tacoma Pro. It takes 6.2 quarts. If I use the cheapest synthetic and filter it will cost me 31.41 per change. If I do this every 3k miles it will cost me $1,046 over 100k miles. If I use the Signature Series AND the Amsoil filter it will cost me $77.92 per change. If I do this every 5,000 miles it will cost me $1,558 over 100k miles- ONLY $513 more. If I drive 10k miles a year the Amsoil will cost me $51 more per year.
I think I can handle $51 more a year EVEN IF Amsoil isn’t any better. If it is- the $51 extra each year is a bargain because it likely has saved me more than the extra $513 over the 10 year period. Obviously if I changed the interval to 15,000 miles it buys its way in BUT I wanted to show the most conservative approach. I hope this helps put things in to perspective.
At that rate, you are changing the oil way too soon. With a full synthetic oil, you can go at least 5-7k miles minimum. With the Amsoil SS, you can go 25k miles or 1 year
Amsoil is rated for well beyond OEM drain intervals in every application. However, the very fact that you are aware of Amsoil means that you are beyond the average normal persons knowledge of engine oil. And most people that are concerned about engine oil have the disposable income to afford Amsoil.
It's such a no-brainer. First off Amsoil is the best and secondly over the course of 10,000 miles I'm spending about $1,500 in gas... An extra 20 or $30 for an oil change is completely irrelevant. And all likelihood I'm making money on gas savings from the extra efficiency of the oil and let's not forget the fact I'm not going to have to worry about vcm problems oil consumption deposits on my rings and for you guys with timing chains it's got special additives to keep the soot contained so it doesn't stretch the timing chain...
@@kalani1987 yeah Amsoil says 25,000 miles but that's a good way to ruin an engine. Even at 10,000 miles on signature series my TBN is usually extremely low... In certain specific conditions I'm sure they can do 25,000 miles but it's not just a default
Oil gets so dang dirty it’s crazy to extend the intervals that much. Extended intervals are a marketing scheme by Amsoil. I use Amsoil but change more often.
How many miles will the oil filter last ?
The Ea15K13 is good for up to 15,000 miles.
I see it’s not api certified want to use in a 2020 accord 2.0 , but see on the owners manual it’s specially says use api certified oil only think it’s still safe to use ?
AMSOIL makes some very good lubricants. To be find out which products are suitable for application check their lookup guide. There's link in the video description. Thanks for the question!
Amsoil specs far exceed API requirements. They just refuse to pay for API certs.
It’s better than Mobil1 Or any other Full Synthetic (Conventional Oil plus additives) from Walmart.
If you concern about the API, use Amsoil OE or XL. Signature series is the real deal with NO API cert.
BullsEye Oil was API Certified,it was trash oil..,it is a pay off for a symbol.. . AMS had that certification along time ago and it still has the best specs but I think they use more of a certain additive that keeps them from getting the API now and it does not mean anything bad.. ..The lower mileage grades of AMSoil has the API . API wants many dollars for a certification that makes it a pay to get in the gate scam .. API has very low standards for oil quality ..
Signature series won't meet API specs due to the higher phosphorus (along with other additives) content in the oil. Other oils will keep additive levels lower to help protect emission systems. Amsoil OE and XL has the API certification.
A Ford oil filter on a Honda...genius pure genius...
That's what it had when I got it. It's better cared for now :)
The previous owner probably liked the upfront bypass design of the motorcraft filter. Which one is right (upfront or in the dome) design for the bypass? I don't know. Their are pros and cons to both designs. I do find it interesting that years ago AMS oil filters had the upfront bypass design. They now have the bypass on the dome side. So why did AMS decide to change their design?
There are a lot of filters worse than Motorcraft.
@@viperstrike3827 ...Motorcraft are made for Ford products...
0 weight has the viscosity of water. And people can’t figure out why they have engine problems.
Engineering is the culprit, not the oil weight. Poor designed engines are not going to fixed by the oil weight. It is much deeper than that. I am a mechanical claims adjuster, and regardless of the viscosity of the oil, some engines just fail before expected. Toyota and Honda went to 0 weight oils before most, yet they have the lowest failure rate of any engines being sold. These are solid facts. If thicker is better, we should all use 20w50, or is that too thick? Maybe 5w30, or is that too thin? Maybe the engineers should decide eh? I remember when manufacturers went to 5w30 from 10w30 and everyone freaked out. It will always be too thin when it comes to people literally having no idea what they are talking about. I use 10w40 in my 50 year old Buick 350 engine because the tolerances that the engine was designed for requires it. My 2012 Fit has had 0w20 since day 1. No issues and I know I am no smarter than the people who spec'ed the oil. Which btw has increased 5 fold in its ability to protect engines in the last 20+ years. Old from the 1990's pales in comparison to modern oils. But, bad engine design (i'm looking at you GM 5.3 variable cylinder management engines and defective rod bearing Hyundai engines) will never be cured by switching oil weights or brands.
Modern car engines are designed for thinner oils
That's not anywhere close to true. It's not a zero weight it's a 20 weight. Zero is not a weight it's literally just a rating. Amsoil 20 weight is actually extremely close in viscosity to Amsoil 30 weight. And people using Amsoil are never going to have any oil problems so all of the things you said were completely wrong
@@9ZERO6 The rural carrier in my area says he has used 20w50 in his Toyota T100 for 600k miles. Would I do it to my Fit? HELL NO! It worked for him though. I don't condone it, I was just putting it out there!
My Honda manual says 0W20 so 0W20 it is, no thinner no thicker.
