25,000 is far too long an interval for any motor oil i've been running Mobil1 in my truck for almost 10k w/ a Wix filter & had no problems. it's still pretty clean, but i doubt i'll ever run an interval that long again. it was more of a test, seeing as how this was my first time using a synthetic. ps - my comment about the AMSoil was just to poke at spike

Well heres my opinion and Iam sure I may get flamed for it but I have owend 3 Lsx vehicles, a 98 trans am, 01 camaro ss, and a 05 gto. All three of them used oil when I ran fully synthetic oil in them. Now I run synthetic blend in the gto and the problem is viturally eliminated. Iam not that sold on synthetic oil and If i buy a new camaro It will probobly get synthetic blend put into it as well.

LSX motors have had a history of using oil. hell, all engines will use some oil.

with my old 70 c-10 pickup truck, I used to do a "running oil change" just keep adding more in every month and change the filter every now and then.

that's the way my friend's fox-body was. he added a quart every 300 miles & changed the filter every few months
