AMSoil? grp IV? or mostly grp III?

[Peted]

Hey ya'll, I've been wondering if AMSoil is mostly grp III with their signature series containing some grp IV or if AMSoil is mostly grp IV.

Tried searching, but their are just too many Amsoil threads which makes searching this subject time consuming.

Many other manufacturers rely on group IV basestocks in 0wXX formulations. I'm guessing Amsoil is the same.

Dan Watson explains this in his youtube videos. He is the only non biased Amsoil dealer I know who praises Mobil 1.

Their XL line is Grp III, Their high end PCMO is Grp IV.

He is one of the only amsoil salesmen I can tolerate. He is good.

Base oil blends are unknown to the public but id say AMSOIL Signature Series line is IV AND V.

It really depends on which Amsoil you are talking about. Amsoil (not AMSoil) has 3 basic lines. The OE and XL lines are group III based - in fact they have the same exact base oils, just the additive packages are different. There are other oils included in the package, but the majority base oil is Group III.

The Signature Series oils are Group IV, V based. Mostly Group IV with esters (V) as well.

I'm barely tolerable, and I have NEVER said anything BAD about Mobil 1. But that's another story.

...and did I mention I'm using a group IV + V in my DD right now?

Thanks for all the input! I believe Amsoil [not AMSoil ] will be my next OCI.
