Yeah, I should have done the math before posting. It’s an okay deal if you like Amalie.

Yeah it's a good deal if you need 5w50. But Mobil sells 15w50 which is very similar besides cold start flow. For 5 quarts for $25 I think. Honestly best pricing on 15w50 is Napa when it's on sale. It's Valvoline oil very good sh it

if you got a flat plane crank motor
It is a 50-grade synthetic oil with a 5W winter rating, and says it meets the performance requirements of API SQ, but I didn't see it on the API EOLCS Directory. It makes no other substantive claims.

It's ok man but I'd say Mobil 1 is just as good. I had her good luck running 15w50 from Napa. It's Valvoline oil with a Napa brand and its usually $3.50-$4.75 a quart on sale. Unless you live in -15 degrees or colder starts. Just run that. It's solid oil.

My tuner recommends 5w50 for all Coyote engines, which my 255k, '12 F150 has. The price is typically high, so I have been using 0w40, that I catch on good deals. The pricing of this has me considering it.
I've been pretty happy with it in Nissan VQ35 and VK56 engines. VOA and UOA coming soon.

It isn't a bad oil. 5k intervals and you will be fine. I agree with your tuner. The 15w50 Mobil 1 is like $25 for 5 quarts on Walmart dot com. It's the same crap almost as 5w50. Only thing is on cold starts it's slightly and I mean ever so slightly thicker. You aren't going to damage them at V8 with 15w50. On Mobil 1 website I believe they say their 15w50 is good down to -25 degrees in terms of it flowing. What you could do is run a VOA on it for us. Lol.

I ran Amalie 5w50 on my TT Mercedes V8 CLS which is tuned balls to the wall. For around 25k miles. 5k intervals. It was smooth sailing. Oil is oil nearly. Just change it often. I like the NAPA 15w50 as it's Valvoline and their base oils are just superior in every way hell them **** Saudis make that stuff tell you what boyyyyuuuueeeee
