Am I right?
Do you know if the XLF Amsoil 5w30 is a full synthetic oil (group IV) or a 'false' synthetic oil (Group III)?
I noticed on the Amsoil website that they proudly say that the ASL oil is "100% synthetic motor oil" but for the XLF oil they only say "Extended Life synthetic motor oil", no 100% synthetic on this page.
They are all so vague that I become suspicious on everything now. Bad for business not to be 100% honest. |
Pick an oil and run it for 3000 miles, pay the $20 for an oil analysis and if it's not doing it's job dump it and try something different until you find the oil you and the engine like. That's what I did because it is all confusing and marketing is just a fancy word for lying.
