Amsoil
Been using AMSOIL since 1978 & I was the 1st one in my area to try it too. Never had a engine problem due to using it either.
The only way to go if you want to save time & $$$.

I have been extremely happy with the switch from Mobil 1 to Amsoil myself.

Amsoil
To be honest I change the oil & filter after 1year & the Amsoil oil filter at 6 months. Only lose 1/2 qt. when I only change the filter at the 6 month time.
Amsoil says up to 25K per year but I have never put on that much in one year. On our Mustang COBRA I change once a year & that is only 3-4K per year.

HP vs. MPG
How can one really know? I do believe I get better millage though. I have gotten better MPG on all my other vehicles over the years. I figure from 5 - 10% as if there is less friction, there is less heat & there has to be better MPG.
PLUS- synthetics are USA made, no petrolium needed. Guess any little bet must help.

Oh, BTW - speaking of Mobil1 oil, there is a very good (and pretty quiet) sale going on for Mobil 1oil.
Go to Pep Boys and stop and the cashier counter on the way in. Ask to buy a 2005 PeP Boys calander (they're $1). Inside, there are coupons for all kinds of stuff - but there's one coupon for Mobil 1: Buy 3 Get 3 Free. A quart (at least for me) is $5.40, so $5.4 X 3 = $16.20. Save $16.20 for spending a buck!
That's the best price I've seen for Mobil 1 and I belong to Sam's Club too!
I'd advise you to hurry in to get the calander b/c they probably won't be around much longer. I bought 6 calanders when I was there. The coupons are good thru '05.
