Many vehicle manufacturers, including Ford, Honda, DaimlerChrysler and Toyota, are
now recommending fuel efficient 0W-20 and 5W-20 motor oils in many of the vehicles
they produce. AMSOIL currently offers its XL 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil (XLM) in this
viscosity range, but to further meet the growing demand, AMSOIL has introduced new
0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASM). A longer drain alternative to XL 5W-20, Synthetic
0W-20 Motor Oil provides maximum protection and outstanding fuel efficiency for
extended drain intervals of 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, in normal
service and 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, in severe service.
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil delivers extraordinary lubrication for automotive
gasoline engines. Formulated with the industry’s premier synthetic technology and additives
in a light viscosity formulation, it withstands high temperatures and delivers outstanding
fuel economy and cold temperature performance. Its light viscosity properties
reduce drag, while its uniform molecular structure helps it lower friction between metal
surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy efficiency.
• Low Volatility
• Excellent protection in temperature extremes
• Up to 25,000-mile drain intervals
• Outstanding fuel efficiency
• Superior wear protection
• Prevents sludge

Applications
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended
for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler,
Toyota, Ford and all other applications where
SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 is required with the following
specifications:
• API SM/CF, SL, SJ...
• ILSAC GF-4, 3...
• ACEA A1/B1
• Ford WSS-M2C930-A
• DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N

Contact myself directly for pricing and discounts.
 
Will give it a try on the wifes new Kia Optima at next OCI along with an Amsoil filter.

I think the Series 2000 name may be making a slow exit. At this point it truly is just a name. Amsoil could have just as easily used the name on this product:

Cool. Now which Amsoil dealer do you give your business to?

Eenie, meenie, minie, mo,
catch an Amsoil dealer by the toe.
If he screams, let him go,
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo...

Now lets have a 5w-20 PAO based oil from AMSOIL




Maybe I missed something. What would the difference be? Other than a small cold temperature edge for he 0W-20, they would be essentially identical. Actually - Amsoil could have called the oil 5W-20!
 
Just ordered a case along with a couple of EA010 oil filters for the wife's RAV4.

For the first time,I'm nervously going to go with a one year oil and filter change.
I will have the oil analyzed after the year.

This is def. a PAO based oil. Looks really good. On the heavy side of the 20wt scale. Mobil was the first to come out with a 0w-20 but they had to change it to a 5w-20 bc too many people shy away from "0w" oils in the mass market.
