$9.95 per quart! Wowee zowee. I love Amsoil and I love 0-weights, but I'm thinking it's too much.

Can anyone give a truly justified reason for getting this over the ASL?

Same price as their Series 2000 become a perfered customer and save alittle cash.

There are those than want the best, top of the line of any product and Amsoil is offering that. It also has a 35,000 mile drain interval. Time will tell how it holds up.

Think I'll try it. Almost ready for an oil change in about 2 months.

My gourmet oil is not so gourmet any more now is it guys...

Interesting word choice....

Can the SSO 0W-30 be used in a Ford a product the says 5W-20 use?

 

[benjamming]

Pablo,

Why/how would they want improved heat control?

 

[BTLew81]

DaGame...of course!! Did you get my PM?

 

[harry j]

How do you improve on perfection? SSO of course. My Civic runs incredibly on the TSO 0W-30 oil, so I'm really looking forward to my first SSO oil change.

I can get this oil locally, but it's $12.xx per quart unless I become a preferred customer. Ridiculous if you ask me, especially with the CDN dollar so high right now.

 

[ericthepig]

If the price is getting to that level, then that's just getting crazy (imo). But otherwise, it's hard to help but love Amsoil - it's a company of zealot petro engineers designing a product for zealot oil hobbyists. And it makes complete sense that they put forth a flag ship product that apparently brings to bare their absolute best engineering.

Long live Amsoil!! (assuming they continue to produce the goods)

That is nuts! I wonder how many quarts of TSO are still in the warehouses. They should have had a fire sale! Bitogers would have been all over that.

Scary that the Amsoil engineers have discovered our addiction.

You can thank Special Agent Pablo...he led us right to 'em. I knew it was ambush but the piper's melody was too much.

Maybe the last run of TSO was actually the SSO formula? It may already be on the road!

Do you think they'd really do that? I can't tell the difference, or is that the idea?

Man, I saw this on their website the other day and almost got a chubby. I'll be ordering up some of that when I need some oil again.

On the Amsoil website it gives a vw 503.00 rating. Is it possible this is a typo? The 503.00 rating is only good for 180hp and less engines for VAG/Audi. Shouldn't it say 503.01, I may be wrong, but I believe this is the current rating.

You are quite right. I emailed them on Monday about that. They seem to always mess up the VW spec revisions. The latest 503 is 503.01 LongLife Service for gassers.
