well that's one opinion, not scientifically based, each to their own. Just because you think it is so doesn't make it so

Anywhere else in the world if the oil uses a Group III base stock (basically natural petroleum based) then it cant be called fully synthetic. Group IV is ACTUALLY fully synthetic and there are very few oils out there today that is. Regardless, Mobil 1 went to court to retain the right to call it a full syn in the US. They won so the name stayed when they switched to Group III in 02-03 (dont really remember the exact date they changed) so that they could make more money off their oil while keeping the price for the consumer the same. |

Heres is some good information on AMSOIL thier oil is API certified and meets GM 4718M standards. This is just their top of the line oil they have 5W30 as well and yes for those of you that are going to be asking I am a dealer of it. I was a customer for the longest time before I became a dealer and it is not my bread maker I mostly became a dealer as it was cheaper for me. I use it in 5 personal vehicles right now along with the boats and four wheelers and even lawn equipment. All I can say is do some research on your own.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is the industry benchmark in lubrication technology. Engineered with the world’s finest synthetic base oils and high performance additives, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is designed for those who demand the absolute best in motor oil performance. The exclusive “extended drain” formulation delivers superior engine protection and maximum fuel economy. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is a premium grade synthetic motor oil that exceeds the requirements of modern, high-performance engines and older engines. It replaces other 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30 motor oils and consistently outperforms competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL The First in SyntheticsŪ to do the best job protecting your engine. Extends Drain Intervals AMSOIL Signature 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lasts much longer in service than conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system resist oxidation and neutralize the acids that shorten the service life of other oils. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 delivers the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs. Maximizes Fuel Efficiency The lightweight molecular structure of AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil reduces energy loss from the “drag” common to high viscosity oils. It is fortified with additives that enhance its friction-reducing properties to help further improve fuel efficiency. Reduces Wear AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil contains specialized anti-wear technology. Its durable, high temperature film strength effectively separates metal surfaces to reduce wear even under the most grueling conditions. Tests prove that AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 provides better protection against wear than other motor oils (see graph). AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 helps engines last longer. Resists Heat, Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is thermally stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off). It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives designed to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean. Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions. Provides Outstanding Cold Flow Properties Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 contains no wax. Its exceptional -60°F cold flow properties ease starting and reduce bearing wear. APPLICATIONS AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for use in gasoline engines, diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications requiring SAE 0W-30, 5W-30 or 10W-30 with the following worldwide specifications: • API SM/CF, SL, SJ … • ILSAC GF-4, 3 … • ACEA A5/B5-04 • GM 4718M, 6094M • Ford WSS-M2C929-A • Honda HTO-06 • Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N • VW 503.00 Mixing AMSOIL AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils. Service Life AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as follows: • Normal Service(3) – Up to 35,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. • Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500 miles or one year, whichever comes first. • Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals). • In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval. *OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer (1) Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturer. (2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils. (3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service. (4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving. AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil filters. HEALTH & SAFETY This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on our website. Keep out of the reach of children. Don't pollute. Return used oil to collection centers. |

Also, if you can get a 0W30 then get it! Especially during winter as it only provides more cold start protection.

I have never used ANY additives. I change my oil at 8-9k and occasionally have my oil analyzed through Blackstone. Preventive and scheduled maintenance is the key. Point? Here come the AVON and Mary Kay ladies.... The Blur is right on...You do NOT need to use an oil additive with a new 2010 Camaro SS. To further... You do not need to use an oil or fuel additive on any new car that you use top tier fuel or oil. If the car has 120k on the odometer, clean the MAF, TPS, fog the intake, Seafoam the upper cylinder and valves. Again...if you used top tier products to begin with, you will likely NEVER have any issues down the road.

Top Tier all the way and you won't need additives and will have the best performance and longest usage.
