    Amsoil Filter Disappeared (Toyota 2.4L)

    So on the Toyota 2.4L engine would it be acceptable to run an extended drain interval (approx 15K, 1yr) utilizing Amsoil's 25K 5W30 and using any off the shelf standard filter as long it is changed according to the OEM Drain Interval of 5K or 7.5K miles (basically changing filter 1-2 times) ?

    Super Tech change? New bottle? What supplier?

    Great info in this post. I was trying myself to figure out who made the super tech oil in these new bottles...now I have a lot more info. Thanks. Is it safe to assume since these oils are SL and not SM rated that the Zn levels are in the range of 1000-1100 PPM ?

    Warren HD30 listed as PCMO not HDEO?

    Quote: IMO, theyre only HD to the point that they are designed for use where applicable in HD use of typical passenger vehicles, pickups, etc. True HD vehicles have a vastly different set of specs than API SL... Thanks for the info so I am guessing Delo 400 single weight (API SL) really no...
