What Amsoil to buy????

I am kind of confused here. I looked at some posts on Amsoil and I have decided to go with 5 W30 but wanted to know if there is a better grade than the XL-7500? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Don't get the XL-7500! Just buy their full synthetic 5w-30 or Series 2000 0w-30. The 0-30 will last longer, but it's $2-$3 more per quart and it doesn't provide significantly better wear protection. It is better, but not by much.

Your best bang for the buck with Amsoil is the SAE 5W-30 or ASL.

There's no question that the 0W-30 is a better oil, but it does cost slightly more.

Where were you planning on getting it?

I figure why not? He saves a little money, still gets a great product and I make a little too.

Happy Holidays.
