Yeah I believe both to be great options. Will give amsoil a shot and see how it goes.

Not disagreeing with that I concur, however, the amsoil hths is 3.7 which from my research is a little higher than Castrol. Could be wrong just what I read. Either way the amsoil is the better price and similar if I had to buy 0w30 from can tire unless it was on sale.

You are correct I can get Castrol 0w40 in 1qt bottles. However it's far more expensive to buy it by the qt. I can get amsoil cheaper. 0w30 would work but my preference is to stick with 40wt if easily accessible. Thx

Lol not really to be honest but I don't mind doing it. Kills a day plus I like working in the car. But yeah after 25-30k don't really notice much for build up. I also keep my oci short sure that helps a little. Yeah I decided to go with amsoil. Just don't seem to be a popular choice but I get it...

Good to know. I don't have any experience with power or sport just what I read. I run xcess gen2 in the warmer months.

Thx. I know many who run motul sport (now power). Additive ppm are lower but many swear by these oils on the track; compromise between 300v and excess gen2 for those who use it as a street car mostly with a little track time.

Yeah those numbers buster showed Im not sure are accurate at least based on the used oil analysis I have. I got those from my tuners FB page. I posted them on page 1 of this post. A user with similar stage 2 setup as myself.

Interesting. I viewed some motul xcess gen2 used oil analysis and have seen both ph and zn below 900. It varies but of the only two amsoil 0w40 used oil analysis I have (from 2023) the zn and ph were comparable for sure. If anything the zn in the amsoil was higher. This is after xxkms driven in...

Agreed I'm sure all would be fine. Having used Castrol 0w40 sn for a while now it worked great in my car. Amsoil looked comparable hence the post. Just trying to stick with something that is similar too what has been working for me. But as you mention I'm sure all would work equally as well. I...

I'm sure Castrol sp is just fine. I suspect the drop in pour point indicates the pao dosage being closer to 25% rather than 50. Again I'm sure it's fine, however my car does really well on the SN version and being the amsoil is similar other than noack is slightly higher thought I give it a shot...

Think I will give the amsoil a shot. At the end of the day I'm sure any of those would work just fine. That hpl looks like good stuff. Following the winter when I switch back to 5w40 going to give motul power 5w40 a go. On paper it looks like a great oil as well.

I don't put to much onus into those reports. For me I'm just trying to figure out if amsoil is a good choice for my case. Nothing against other euro oils, amsoil just happens to be readily accessible for me and at a very good price point.

Ah I see thx

Isnt mobil fs 0w40 known to shear out of grade quicker? recall reading that somewhere. I havent seen HPL oil around canada or at least in Alberta where Im at.

I never looked at the SS line tbh. Been looking only at euro oils. Will check it out thx

Nothing against Mobil and I'm sure it's a fine oil. The slightly higher hths of Castrol led me to use it. Now that sp is my only choice hence amsoil which too has a slightly higher hths than Mobil. I couldn't find much on the amsoil so thought I would inquire with this group. Thx

Thx appreciate the feedback and advice. On paper the amsoil 0w40 looks good just couldn't find much about it for reviews in my searches. As you mention I'm sure any euro oil would work well. My only options without having to order are your Canadian tire/Walmart options and a local tuner sells...

I came across this uoa of amsoil 0w40 euro, only one I can find. Numbers look okay at least for this engine which was also a golf r.

Curious if anyone on this forum as any experience with amsoil euro 0w40? I live in Canada and have been using castrol 0w40 in cooler weather and motul xcess gen2 in warmer weather. In my area I can now only get castrol 0w40 SP and the specs/make up do not appear to be as good as what the SN...
