Road to AMSOIL High-Mileage Motor Oil Leads to Peace of Mind

The pathways to discovering AMSOIL products are many, from local AMSOIL Dealers and retailers to online forums and discussions. These paths to AMSOIL are often spurred by a singular goal – how to make a vehicle investment last as long as possible. This principal doesn’t only apply to new vehicles fresh off the lot, either. Those purchasing used vehicles with higher miles are looking to achieve the same objective: adding many more miles to the odometer.

Another way of discovering AMSOIL is by growing up in the Midwest and hitting the racing circuit. This was the case for AMSOIL Product Development Engineer Grady Tank, who joined the AMSOIL team in April 2024. Tank had grown up in rural Wisconsin and regularly saw AMSOIL being used in racing applications on the track. A common misconception in these racing environments is that AMSOIL only offers products for racing or powersports applications. Tank had a similar take and hadn’t yet connected how broad the product line was for vehicles of all kinds. His career path to AMSOIL would soon change that.

Tank owns a 2014 Subaru* Outback* his father purchased new off the lot. It faced an hour and a half commute each day for his dad’s work, and underwent routine oil changes using the originally installed Mobil 1* brand. Aiming to keep the vehicle in service for years to come, Tank and his father did oil changes themselves at regular 5,000-mile intervals and kept up on maintenance.

By the time Tank took ownership of the vehicle from his father around 2020, it was well-maintained but facing oil consumption issues. In his travels to the twin cities area to visit his parents once or twice a month, Tank needed to top off with a quarter quart of oil every 300 miles or so. Growing up, Tank was taught to stick to the same oil and not mix or change brands. He stuck to that course until hitting 150,000 miles on the odometer when he switched to a high-mileage version of the previous brand. Upon joining the product development team and discovering the wide range of AMSOIL product applications available, he decided it was time to make the switch to AMSOIL 100% Synthetic High-Mileage Motor Oil.

According to Tank, the results were noticeable right away. Gone were the 300-mile top-offs caused by oil consumption. The car fires right up in cold winter temps and operates in all conditions without issue. Tank now has renewed peace of mind that his Subaru is ready for the miles ahead.

“Thanks to AMSOIL’s integrity in developing high-quality engine oils,” said Tank, “I have confidence that my Subaru will run reliably for many more miles to come.”

Vehicles with high mileage face unique challenges with surface deposits and sludge buildup.  AMSOIL 100% Synthetic High-Mileage Motor Oil is specifically engineered to help keep these vehicles operating at peak performance as the odometer climbs. It features enhanced detergency to help breathe new life into dirty engines, while removing deposit buildup to restore peak performance and stay dependable for the long haul.
