Thank you for contacting AMSOIL with your concerns.

In response to your inquiry, the 0w30 will show GF-4 later this fall
on the
label. It already meets the requirements for GF-4. There was no
compromise in
wear protection.

Thank you again for the opportunity to respond to your concerns. As
always,
please feel free to contact us again if we can be of further
assistance."

As Tooslick state a few months ago, all the Amsoil 30wt oils except the S3k were at the GF-4 level. One of their tech services guys must have been mistaken as the 0w30 is now GF-4 and still retains the 35k mile drain interval. XOM is still testing the Mobil 1 Extended Performance GF-4. So does that mean the XL line will be phased out? Or will they simply keep that for moderate, dealer OCI?
 
That is interesting. The price points are so different - I think your thoughts may be correct -but gives a bit safer margin for those cars with factory 15,000 mile OCI's!
 
I think you'll see the XL line for a long time.
It is rated for 7500 miles OR the manufacturer's recommended drain (if longer)/ six months or manufacturer's length (if longer).

Primary users are quick lubes and some shops.
 
**** is right, the XL line will be for manufacturer's intervals.

Looking at the used oil analysis the XL line is a top notch oil .
 
I believe all the XL oils have the donut. This was done to
help market the oil to the quick change arena.
