Amsoil Series 3000 5w-30

[98LSC32V]

Would this be a good oil for either my Mark VIII 4.6 DOHC or G35? Or does it have too many additives for the cats?

I use it in my 2002 Tacoma, im planning to run this oil till the end of the year and sample then compair it to Series 2000 and see which one works best.

The Series 3000 will be a better choice for the V8 engine. I'm currently running it in my Grand Marquis and have had no issues at all.

Any more opinions?

I'd go with the new 0W20 for the gas mileage savings for the Lincolns along with the EaO oil filters for a yearly change, and go with the recommended 5W30 and EaO and EaA filter for the Infinity. Should also save some gas money.

Ah, the seagull has already been here.

Amsoil HDD 5w30 is one of their top oils. I use it in
my '93 LT1 Corvette and have in other applications without
issues of any kind.

HDD S3K would be great in both cars. The Amsoil guide is OK and conservative, but not necessarily ideally tuned.

I am running it in my Grand Cherokee 4.0L. I am very impressed consumption has gone down. i went down from 10w30 to this 5w30 series 3000........
