Haha good one

What would be the bare minimum safe engine oil and coolant temperature in a high performance engine, really any engine before going full throttle, taking it to redline? At what temperature does complete metal expansion of components occur where they are at their intended tolerances, and at what...

Originally Posted By: mrsilv04 Whatever it was, it could have been in the oil when it went in. The odds are impossible that Amsoil has never had at least one contaminated batch of oil. That said, it's time to have a sample tested once there's some miles on this oil. 60,000 miles will be here...

Did an oil change on my wife's van this morning and decided to examine the oil filter as it's about as easy as it gets being a cartridge filter. I noticed and took pictures of some very tiny metal pieces. Maybe 20 of them throughout the whole media and they were not magnetic. The van sees alot...

The Mobil 1 0w-40 has about 300 Ppm more zinc and phosphorus but the amsoil had about three times as much moly and the viscosity is in the upper range for a 40 weight. The Coyote 5.0 (dohc 32 valve, high compression ratio, higher revving in nature) is a different animal than the 6.2 in my...

I did find a UOA of the amsoil sso 0w-40 on a mustang forum. Apparently the car was drivin hard at a track event on this oil.

I'm really interested in knowing the moly content of the amsoil 0w-40 as the pennzoil Srt has a good dose and the whole sso line has Atleast 100ppm on the uoa's I have seen. Also the zddp levels.
