In the Pilot anyway. Since new I ran AMSOIL Signature Series 0w20 67K currently and followed the OLM since its DI. Giving SS 0W30 a try.

I just switched all my vehicles over to AMSOIL Signature Series 0w30 from a 20Wt so far so good haven’t really notice a difference in MPG and Engine noise
WHAT? NO TRIAX??????
I just finished my stash of Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w20 and switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w30 for the summer in my 23 Type R. After my stash of Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w30 is gone my intentions are to run HPL 0w30 all year long.

I'm a rebel. I live in Georgia. I don't have a need to run 0W-anything even in the dead of winter.
Oh sure, the non-invasive governmental think-tanks tell me that low viscosity oil is "for the children" but I still think deforestation and bioengineered foods just don't make sense.

If the organisms haven't killed me by now (72), then I must be blessed.
Apples, corn, pineapples and potatoes are OK-bios.... missed a few others. Call me Mr. picky eater.
Deforestation?..... nope.... never!

Not this time I figured I give Amsoil a try find out what’s all the hype about . Next round I’ll go back to TRIAX Try there 0w30 flavor
I’ve been an Amsoil user since 2003. Granted I don’t push my oils envelope but all of my engines have been remarkably clean. Here’s my 2015 Tacoma 4.0L with 136K. I use most of their products including in my yard equipment.
And here I thought that deforestation in Georgia was caused by space lasers, not 20w50.

I pushed Amsoil signature series 5w30 in my spec’d for 0w20 Toyota, no issue there at all. Great lab report. Running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 right now for another 10,000 mile interval. Probably head to Mobil 1 ESP 0W30 next…or Mobil 1 0W40 FS.

Wow that is clean! Noticed the same when I switched to HPL from AMSOIL Signature Series, no crazy carbon in the filter unlike the truck, which was packed with it after 1500 miles of HPL.
I am also going to be making a similar switch soon. I used the last of my Kirkland 0W-20 stash for the last oil change in my wife's Outback, a few months ago. Next oil change, it will be getting Mobil 1 FS Euro 0W-40.
I’ve done a few runs with SS 10K intervals. The rest have been with XL 5500-6500 miles.
If its still resource conserving, its not "thick"

Will thicker oil create a lot more sludge?
