Cheapest price on Amsoil?

[salsathe4th]

How much do you guys usually buy at a time from the website? Also I drive about 10,000 miles a year would amsoil 5w-30 be able to make it that long? my car has over 90,000 miles on it also. If there is a better option for high mileage please let me know changing my oil before the end of spring

Amsoil Signature oil will easily go 10,000 miles as a rule.  To be certain for YOUR car, at least 1 UOA is always recommended.

This vehicle is equipped with a turbocharger. Turbos create severe service conditions by dramatically increasing temperatures. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils provide excellent protection for turbocharged vehicles.
When using AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil, do not exceed the severe-service drain interval of 15,000 miles, 700 hours or one year, whichever comes first.

Filters:  You can use the Motorcraft filter and change just the filter at 5,000 miles (and top off the oil after), then the complete change at 10,000 miles.  Or you can get a true synthetic high quality extended interval filter and change along with the oil.  Amsoil, Mobil1, Royal Purple, and K&N are some filter brands to consider.  Mobil1 probably the best choice here, based on filtration efficiency spec; always look for rebates; if you are a Costco member, they will sometimes have specials on oil and/or filter.  Not high on Fram, tho it may work for you.

My sponsor in the Amsoil world actually owns an XSport...his oil analysis showed that fuel dilution gets pretty bad right around the 9k mark. That's where I'd draw the line with normal to aggressive DD habits. If you're taking to dragway and such, I'd shorten the intervals.

Absolute rating vs. nominal rating for filters

At least there's good room in an XSport to mount a nice catchcan setup.
