I like what I'm seeing here, especially with regard to this oil's HT/HS specification of 2.80. That spec is right in the middle of 2.62 of Mobil 1 5W-20 which I've always considered somewhat thin and my current fill spec of 2.99 which is too thick for my engine.

Definitely under consideration for next OCI when some sort of historical perspectives have been established.

Love Amsoil wordplay on OEM specification compliance.

Does the HTHS rating come in to play on a standard engine in a daily driver with no problems and driven in a reasonable manner? Does the difference between 2.62 and 2.8 really mean much? A lot of members appear to be looking for higher HTHS numbers because the protection is though to be better and Motul turns right around and advertises that their lower HTHS rating is better for gas mileage. Also it appears that oils with a higher HTHS rating don't get the energy saving donut. So if you have a good base stock can you get away with a lower HTHS rating and then get better mileage, too.

Whilst I realise other significant variable are concurrently in play here as well, HT/HS spec is the first thing I look at in oil specifications. If that appear OK then I look at balance of specifications.

It's just simply the first thing I compare.

What will the price of this be for a preferred customer per quart?

---

$5.90/qt

Actually I just got a case of 0w20 delivered yesterday and the cost was $67.20 or $5.60 a qt.
2 EA010 oil filters
3 Qts 75w90 Severe Gear lube

$135.32 tax and frieght included.

Preferred customer status cuts costs pretty good.
