Default Bad things about Amsoil

I'm thinking about switching all my vehicles over to amsoil. I've found a million good things about it but I want to hear about the bad things. Anyone, hear any negative about amsoil?

ive heard that you can run it for 100,000 miles or so before needing a change. I dunno about that though.

sounds like a pretty bold statement. they also give a guarentee with it too, they'll replace your engine if something happens. i just stick with mobil1 full syn or if im feeling jovial, royal purple.

I haven't heard anything about it, either way.

BTW: you got your own welder? I may need to bring the caddy down to your place

I've never heard bad things about Amsoil honestly. I am going to switch to it after my next oil change. IIRC, NAPA carries it.
