change oil

[TheSilkySmooth]

Ist - I understand what you mean here, my fill cap says SL so not too bad for me. I have less oil probs with the super good grp iv-v base oil blends(Motul, Total, Sikolene) I have never tried amsoil. I am a "little" worried about unsing the Motul spec. BMW LL-01 maybe having NO API rating but assuming I will have NO oiling problems, I can worry less. Hey there is no API in Europe right?

How does that pennzoil platinum feel in the motor - any thing good/bad to say just driving wise?
I was trying to stir things up because I still cant beleive you can market grp-iii mineral as synthetic. take care.

You're right, it does say SL
Well, thanks. If I'd have known that I would have had just that many more choices to worry about being the best for my car.

And the P.P. isn't in there yet. Still running the Amsoil HP and Amsoil Ea filter. Over 3K miles on this change and oil still looks nearly new, but I've heard a few bad reports on the Amsoil filters not having enough media and getting poor marks because of it. I'll be glad to actually start trying the Beck/Arnley filters and Pennzoil Platinum. All filters are due a change at next OCI.

Might be wrong but isn't Amsoil's XL series base 3? It's probably their no. 1 seller.

Ever heard any gore stories on Lucas 5w-20? ACEA rated A3/B4, don't know if it's base 3, 4 or 5. A buddy of mine just switched to it after using Amsoil SS 0w-30 (A5/B5). He's supposed to run 5w-20 in his Ford and didn't want Amsoil's 5w-20 (A1/B1)...A1/B1 seems to be the standard for a lot of 5w-20s.
