Yea, I would.. My mustang with over 145,000 on it has it and so does my ranger with 192,000. Only stuff I use.. If you get a preferred membership the cost goes down a decent amount..

People who say don't use it have no idea what there talking about.
I use it in my track only road race cobra and my over 600 hp (100k mile 383) street mustang.
If your going to switch to this oil from conventional oil you need to do an engine flush to remove all the deposits left behind. From what I understand it's never to late to switch to this oil as it's the best product out there.
Talk to a dealer, read the testimonials, talk to people who abuse cars on tracks......the stuff works!
Someone mentioned earlier about the guy in San Carlos on El Camino, he's the dealer I buy from and very knowledgable (john).

depending on where the op is located there is an AMSOIL dealer in Belmont. he's right on Elcamino next 76. it may be considered san carlos.

Yes BUT, sometimes when people switch to a high quality synthetic (Amsoil, Mobil 1, German Castrol etc etc) after using conventional oil for years and years and thousands and thousands of miles... the car can develop an oil leak.
This can occur as the detergents in high quality synthetic oils like Amsoil have cleaned away sludge and deposits left behind by conventional oils, revealing a preexisting leak that was previously clogged by junk...

Signature Series. 0w30 or 5w30 are both great year round oils in most cars. If your car owners manual specifies something heavier like 10w40 or 15w50, then go European car Formula 5w40 or Premium Protection 10w40 or 20w50...
If your car is heavily modded, or a garage queen sitting for months at a time, their Z-ROD formula is great. It has higher levels of ZDDP, and is more resistant to corrosion and rust.
another thing to consider, is how long you want to go between oil changes... Not all their oils go 15k+ between changes. Here's a chart of their oil application and drain intervals;
