The Amsoil filters clean out smaller particles in the oil thus allowing the extended oil changes. It doesnt break down, it gets contaminated. Mobil 1 is neither better nor worse than Amsoil, it just gets changed more often tho I dont think it really has too.
long intervals suck for me as a mechanic, Oil change intervals should not be determend by the oil company but by the manufactur of the vehicle,
theres a reason for that not just a waste of money take the old 6.2 diesel they have very very short intervals like 2500miles when worked hard and 5000miles under normal use.

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
