Not all Amsoil flavors.
I would not be certain about Royal purple. Not knocking it's performance, just a hunch.
Amsoil oils other than XL series, and Redline are pretty certain. GC is certain.
If you have an autozone you have GC, if you have GC that is your most available store bought PAO based oil.
Redline and Amsoil most likely have to be ordered. Which is worthwhile if that level of percformance is desired.
There's the thee most common choices.

I second that.
I believe you want Grp IV/V. Esters and AN are good correction fluids.
redline is a group 5 oil
motul grp 5
maxima grp 5
torco grp 4/5
maxima grp 5
torco grp 4/5
Redline is certainly Group V ... and probably some Group IV.
GC is Group IV
Some Amsoil is Group IV.
Mobil 1 and Delvac 1 ~used~ to be Group IV / V but it seems that Mobil 1 may now have cheapened like Castrol did with nearly all of the Syntec line.
I was looking at Wal Mart and Mobil 1 is $6.22 / qt and Mobil 1 Extended Performance is $6.92 / qt. At those prices I feel I should get the good ingredients that Mobil 1 used to have when it cost around $4.00 /qt.
Since I can buy Redline at $7.00 / qt and Redline is way better than Mobil 1....why let Mobil 1 make me feel like they cheated me?

I had initially thought Esso XD-3's 0W30/40 oils were 100% PAO but their Product Data Sheet (Feb 2005) leaves a lot of wiggle room:
Operative word: "use"
I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that synthetic oils are no longer 100% Group IV, as outlined in Chevron's 2001 article PAO–Down, but not out:

Any proof GC is not Group IV?
The indications I have seen was that GC was PAO. Now if you have evidence to the contrary I am sure there are many here that would like to see it.
