AMSOIL European Motor Oil Keeps BMW on the Road for Nearly 20 Years

For more than 18 years, Preferred Customer Ilya Moshenskiy of Redmond, Washington, has trusted AMSOIL European synthetic lubricants to keep his 1998 BMW on the road.

 “I’m a long-term customer. (I’ve) personally put over 400k miles in the driver seat,” Moshenskiy said. “I have owned my 1998 BMW 528i* for over 18 years. It’s still in the condition I remember it being when I first drove it off the dealer lot. Since day one, I have been doing my own oil changes exclusively using AMSOIL.”

Moshenskiy said he depends on the car in all conditions.

“My car has been a workhorse getting me through thick and thin,” he said. “Over the years, the 528i has been a reliable family member. It has given us countless memories over the past two decades, from the sunny beaches of San Diego to pummeling through two feet of snow in British Columbia, Canada. I know whether I'm commuting or taking it on the next road trip, my 528i will get me there. My only worry are those pesky tail light bulbs that burn out with age.”

“Every time I start a conversation about 400k miles on the original motor, people ask what’s the secret,” he said. “AMSOIL is the secret; that’s what you need to know. I don’t think I could have logged over 400k miles if it wasn’t for AMSOIL. Believe it or not, this is still my daily driver.”

Not only is the car still his daily driver, it looks like it’s new.

“There’s something about thick German paint that lasts long and looks new,” Moshenskiy said. “I’m in Seattle and have taken the car on many trips in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.”
