amsoil vs Mobile one
OK you oil experts. I don't know anything about amsoil. Is it better than mobile 1. I figure if mobile one comes from the factory, it must be meant for my engine.
What do you think??

I wonder how much $ Mobil pays to GM so their oil can be the factory fill?
Just wondering!

Whatever they do pay, it's irrelevant, because the product is good.
As for M1 v. Amsoil? I suspect they are very near the same quality. I am sure that in some abstract measure, one is better, and visa-versa, but in the real world, we will never notice.
I change the M1 in my 92 about every 4k~5k miles.
I am outta this one...

My friend's new CE LT4 had a blown engine after 5,000 miles, while using the Mobil 1. GM replaced the engine. GM never did conclude why this happened.
Mobil is the company that was selling their Blend (Mobil 1) as a full synthetic many years ago. There was an asterisk at the bottom of the label: except for petroleum carrier oil.
With me being in the business, this did not win me over as a distributor/customer.
I am glad to see they straightened out their act.
I still have a small issue with all of their mileage oils now. You have to be very careful and diligent. Be sure to read the entire label.
