I run Amsoil in my 4000 mile and going strong 4-wheeler which I routinely beat the living crap out of and which hauls my 240 pounds of corpulence with great regularity through places it would be impossible to walk. I am not going to waste the money to run it in my low stress, low rev 200HP Corvette slug. Especially since I will have to change the oil in that thing annually even if I only drive it 1200 miles. I'm all for the "high mileage" Dino formulations with extra Zinc; pick your favorite flavor.

Sorry you feel that way 427. I'm not a rep, just a consumer who has raced motorcycles, SCCA racecars and crewed on Formula 1 boat teams who ran Amsoil by choice even when the decals on the vehicle said something else. I'm not an engineer, chemist or even a very good race driver but I have seen positive result from changng nothing but the brand of oil used in engines that were built with exquisite care and huge expense.
That said, as posted above I consider synthetics in general a waste of dollars in stock low miles per annum vehicles which will sit more than they are driven. Hence my comment that my personal Corvette will not benefit from the application.

I've used synthetic oil on every car I've owned regardless of what car it was. I like to see gold tint and smooth internal parts when I take the engine apart. Go with their high zinc formula. And AMSOIL is some pretty good stuff
