Thanks guys.

Yeah. This is a beater, so I'm not going to use Amsoil on this one, but I want it to last and I'd also like to clean up the insides. I want the best $$/peace of mind ratio.

Thanks, but she's in pretty good shape at this point.

I'm impressed with the Amsoil talk I've read here and elsewhere. Any suggestions on viscocities recommended for my apps?

I have a 2000 DTS with the Northstar (80k), a 2005 CTS with the 3.6 (25k), a '76 Fleetwood with the 500 cid (32k) and a '79 Deville with the 425 cid (46k). I'd like to go with true (Class IV and up) synthetics for these cars, both for the cleaning properties and the lengthened OCIs. The CTS...
