Don't know. Never tried it. However, my money spent to my piece of mind is not wasted. Only I can say I am wasting my money and where I place my trust.

With a much lower HTHS, higher NOACK and weaker base stock.

I never said I could judge performance. I said I could tell you if it would be considered "boutique". Any Moly between 65 and 85 is Tri and anything over 300 is not. Boron will shift between brands but ALL boutique will have a PPM over 250.

Can anyone show me a Group III 5W30 with an HTHS of 3.3 or Boron over 210? Amsoil OE 5W20 is a fantastic "run of the mill" "cheap" oil.

I could tell by Moly and Boron count.

That's what I said. Name another 5W30 GF or Dexos Gen 3 with a 3.3 HTHS?

Correct! Good, Better and Best is no different than Super, Mobil 1 and EP.

That's what Mobil 1 says to every customer that buys their Full Synthetic Super named oil. No difference.

No one assumes that. It has OE on it. ANYONE on their website knows it not SS. Is Mobil 1 pulling the wool over people because Super has Mobil on the front?

Amsoil or anyone else has ever claimed it to be "boutique". It's an API oil same as Wally World shelves. However, they sell a ton of it because trust the name, like supporting an American owned company in Wisconsin and trusts their product due to in house labs, engine tests etc.. Solid product...

Who thinks it's their Top Tier? It says in BOLD letter OE? Also has the GF stamp on front. Everyone knows they have Good, Better and Best. No different that Mobils Super, Mobil 1 and EP.

I wouldn't say "run of the mill" just another "cheap" oil. There is no other "Group III" (as many of you assume) 5W30 with an HTHS of 3.3. My guess is this is not 100% Group III. Plus the PQIA isn't accurate as all OE has over 100 PPM Boron. I have three UOA (2 GF5 and one new GF6) to prove that...

I am sure my post hurts Amsoil I am not an advocate for Amsoil nor a dealer. Its a simple post like the other million UAO on here. Have a blessed day.

Its a cut and paste from an ICO article. I am not in Tribology but the Author is. Again, no need to argue. Maybe you are right. Its just another VOA. Maybe you can do one for use and show us the exact PPM and explain any additives? Dude...chill out.

Not going ti debate here. The additive pack is shown in every oil analysis. The accuracy is questionable but it does tell me if things are on the higher side IF one wanted a longer drain interval. Moly also tells me older Moly vs TRI.

Most of us know that. "Cheap" still gives us a good ballpark PPM of additives.

My guess is the Moly and Boron is not as high. Does that make a difference I am not sure. However there is different quality levels of Boron and Moly.

Yes its their 20k oil. Not sure on base oil or VII. I also sent in a 0W20 Hybrid from them as I have a 2023 Sonata Hybrid and looking to see whats different. Will post when I get it back.
