you can run that many miles on any oil. not saying the oil will be doing much to protect the motor after that point.
but the fact that their top oils are not API certified, too many Amsoil fanboys on every site im on trying to endorse their product. and the fact that I even offered to run amsoil in my 94 LT1 with whatever filter the amsoil guy deemed fit. and I would weld my drain bolt to the oil pan if he would pay for a new engine when mine went to shit before 25,000 miles. I change my oil every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first. due to the fact that its not just the miles you put on the motor but also the condensation that occurs within the motor that breaks down the oil as well. thats why if you've noticed any of the "hey im thinking about buying this car, its only got 20k on the odo" threads
I ask how many times the oil has been changed.
there are a couple other things with amsoil that i wont mention
