Question for anyone using Amsoil, what’s so special about it? Is there any realistic benefit to it vs Mobil1 for example?Oil change day. Also picked up a new drain bolt and decided to try Amsoil for the first time. I totally forgot what a pain it is to change the oil on the Raptor. Going forward I may pick up a Fumoto drain valve to make it a bit easier.
Fumoto
Get the Fumoto! It’s worlds cleaner and simpler. Get the plastic pipe they offer and just bypass the oil catch pan and drain directly to a gallon jug of your liking. Will help to keep your nice floor looking good.Oil change day. Also picked up a new drain bolt and decided to try Amsoil for the first time.

Thank you for the great advice. I’ve never used a Fumoto but I’m picking one up for sure. No matter how careful I am with changing the oil on the Raptor, it always seems to find it‘s way onto areas outside of the drain pan. LMAOGet the Fumoto! It’s worlds cleaner and simpler.

I will say I also noticed it was quieter compared to the dealer filled Motorcraft oil I drained out with only 2200 miles on it. Wanted to change the oil after getting the cam phaser fix.Somewhere you can find online the benefits in graphs, charts, and such. I noticed an immediate difference when I switched to it when doing my last oil change. Truck ran smooth and quiet.
The Fumoto valve is really nice. It's near impossible to not make a huge mess without it.Thank you for the great advice. I’ve never used a Fumoto but I’m picking one up for sure.

Heh, when I switched from Amsoil to Schaeffer's I noticed an immediate difference in how much smoother and quieter the truck was with the schaeffer's.Somewhere you can find online the benefits in graphs, charts, and such.
