Your missing the point!

The superior quality of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil doesn't brake down like DINO oil! A 100% synthetic motor provides the ultimate in protection and performance in your CRD. You need to keep synthetic motor oils free from dirt that is what causes engine ware.
Recommended Sampling Frequency for the most comprehensive analysis possible on diesel engines is 100 - 500 hours or 3500 - 20,000 miles.

Amsoil does not have the MB Cert like Mobile 1 ESP.

Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40 is an advanced performance synthetic engine oil designed to help prolong the life and maintain the efficiency of Car Emission Reduction Systems in diesel powered automobiles that require oil that is approved against Mercedes-Benz MB 229.51 or MB 229.31specifications. Benefits of Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40:

Approved against MB 229.51

Approved against MB 229.31

I like the containers Amsoil comes in. But it sure does gather the dust on our local suppliers shelf. Is it affiliated with Amway?

Royal Purple has pretty containers too!!

But wait. That's not all. If you order now, you will also get this fantastic set of microfiber towels. They are fabulous for wiping your hands after changing your oil (even synthetic).

I use Amsoil European Engine Oil in my CRD. I also used it in my TDI Jetta. I use Amsoil Heavy Duty Diesel Oil in my Diesel Land Cruiser and diesel Suzuki Samurai.

I looked on the AMSOIL website and it said nothing about the 229.51 MB cert for 5W40.

It's amazing how you can tell within 10 posts if someone is a newbie to shill for something (usually Amsoil) or if they're actually here to be a contributing member of the board.

It's under more information: https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/afl.aspx
I'm a CRD owner and have been following the LOST forum for a long time to learn more about what other CRD owners are doing and using to improve their Jeeps. In fact I never heard of AMSOIL until I read about it in this fourm. Then I contacted another Jeep CRD owner who was using it and decided to use it myself based on others experience. I'm not a big forum or blog user. It is hard to not correct misinformation. I don't care what product others use however I think it is important they have the correct information to make an informed decision. I hope this is helpful.

I ordered an Amsoil catalog a few years ago and got a free sticker with it, I used it to cover a some missing paint on my 1982 Mazda B2200 beater truck. after 20000miles the sticker is still there, I don't need to change it WOW!. I requested another to cover another spot but was told it would cost $6 plus shipping. now its a big rust spot. Sad but true. really.

Does anyone know the location of the Amsoil refinery?

My guess is they don't have one. Their synthetic base oils are probably from polyalphaolefins...which get their feedstocks from "Big Oil." ...so...uh...this doesn't fool anyone. It may be Big Oil that supplies the base stock to Amsoil or a big company like Dow Chemical.

any one use 15w40 in your 2.8L?
