Amsoil 10w-30

I always thought 10W was good to 0F or -18C
I have fresh Signature Amsoil here in 10w-30 for zero turn use and it says " Flows easily in sub zero temperatures" right on the bottle. Of course their webpage lists the certs-specs too.

That was before the SAE change to the cold weather performance criteria. For some years now, in terms of cranking, 15w is rated down to -20C / 0F, while 10w is rated down to -25C / -15F. Pumping is tested at 5C/10F lower temps for each.
A synthetic 10w might just miss passing the 5w specs too at -30C/-35C...

OK, I did and it carries no certifications. So your claim that the website lists all the certs is correct; the number is zero.

The number is zero huh.......?
That said my response was Amsoils data sheets slash certs but again you're wrong..

Most multi OE are and XL API. 10w-40 is not etc.
You said none. And my post did not indicate API certs or suggest such at all.
It suggested manufacturer certs and specs to the OP for flow temps etc were on the data sheet for his Amsoil oil. You just came in to stir a stink as usual.
Maybe someone here knows what WFTSPB means?

To you, no one suggested such, did they? No!
However kschachn made a statement otherwise- none-zero.

I never used Amsoil.

Correct, Amsoil Signature (which is what you originally posted about) has zero certifications.

I find this:
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is excellent for use in all types of gasoline-fueled vehicles. It is recommended for all domestic and foreign vehicles requiring any of the listed performance specifications:
10W-30 (ATM): API SN (Resource Conserving), SM…; ILSAC GF-5, GF-4…; ACEA A5/B5, A1/B1; GM LL-A-025, 6094M, 4718M; Ford WSS-M2C205-A; Chrysler MS-6395
"Recommended" is Good enough, given all the garbage CERTIFIED OTC Major oils out there. Otherwise you are just a bunch of ninnies
Unelss your driving ultra high end, the service guyus don't care as long as there is decent oil in there.

Really? Name a garbage oil that carries, oh let's say, Porsche A40 or BMW LL-01 certification.
