There is no reason to use a 0W oil in a race car and several reasons not to. The first reason not to is the NOACK volitility. This is a measurement of how much oil will burn off in extreme heat. The 0W30 is at 8.8% loss compared to the 10W30's 4.1% loss. While 8.8% loss in that test isn't bad, it will burn off more than 2 times as much as the 10W30 oil under high temperatures. Second, look at the high temp high sheer viscosity. 3.07 vs 3.11 isn't a big difference, but it is still a disadvantage compared to 10W30. Also, the 10W30 has an 18 degree F higher flash point and 32 degree higher fire point than 0W30, which again shows that the 0W30 doesn't handle extreme heat as well as 10W30. To be clear, I'm not saying that the 0W30 isn't good, it is an outstanding oil especially for vehicles that are started in cold temperatures. However, it does have disadvantages compared to 5W30 and 10W30, and unless the vehicle is going to be started in extreme cold, it's advantage of flowing better when cold doesn't outweigh it's disadvantage of not tolerating heat as well in a racing application where the oil is going to be spending the vast majority of its life at high temperatures anyways.
What you say makes sense and the spec sheet supports it. The 5W30 has some marginal advantage over the 0W30 at high temperatures. That said, I did a track day with 0W30 on a 97 degree day with oil temperatures hitting 290 with no adverse effect. There were 25 minute sessions with the 290 temp only hit on the last part of the last lap. I sent the oil in for testing and there was no evidence of any issue or degradation of the oil. You'd never have known there was track (and autocross) events in the oil's history. The duration of the event was just too short. However, in the future using 5W30 would seem to be more wise.
@@user-pg9cy1sd1p Thanks for sharing! I'm pretty impressed that a 0W30 oil did so well in that extreme heat, it is certainly a great oil. Sounds like the 5W30 or the 10W30 if you don't start it in very cold weather would be a better option in your application though. However, If you are regularly seeing oil temps that high, I would look into getting an oil cooler to keep the oil temp below 250. Even though Amsoil can handle that extreme heat for a short time, that doesn't mean that the whole engine can. Bearings, gaskets, seals, sensors, etc will all last longer with a lower oil temp (within reason of course).
@@averyalexander2303 The car already has an oil cooler, but I need a bigger one! COTA can be a demanding track. I did not get an oil temp warning, but you are right that ideally oil temps need to stay cooler. I would install a larger oil cooler if I were doing this on any kind of regular basis. I do have 5W30 in there now...doesn't matter at all with so many events being cancelled.
@@averyalexander2303 I should add- Not only did the 0W30 oil test fine, it came back as SEV0, which means minimal degradation. That was with 2200 miles on the oil. This included 3 track events and at least 25 autocross runs. I ran that same oil out to a full year and 5200 miles and it tested out at SEV2, which was due to a "slightly low" base number. I didn't do more track days, but lost count of total autocross runs...maybe ~90, The oil was good for further use, but I don't run oil for more than a year. So perhaps the 0W30 deserves more credit than we give it. Probably fine except for the more serious track rats out there. I went with the 5W30 on the current oil change to simply do a comparison, but this year isn't providing the right opportunities for that.
The big deal is the signature is a group 4 with some group 5. Redline oil is a 4 with even more group 5 Esther. And where scar tests redline always edges out Amsoil signature
After watching this video, I'm considering running my next oil change in mah used 2010 Toyota Yaris 5 Speed Manual @ an Amsoil Signature Series 0W-20 instead of 5-30W, for maybe 1/2 to 3/4 the interval (5000-7500 instead of 10,000) to see if I get better mpg. lol, I know, it sounds dumb and could cause damage... whatever, idk if I'll even do it... but it sounds to me like it wouldn't hurt anything... idk tho
what are you putting it in , any direct injection engines? and how many miles on them and how about carbon build up on the back side of the intake valves?
I'm planning to use this 0W30 in my Toyota Echo for two reasons. 1. For cold Canadian winters, 0W30 will be easier on cold starts when not able to plug in the block heater. 2. My VVT variable valve timing is slightly retarded and perhaps this oil will help prevent deterioration of this system and provide slightly better acceleration!
Great! Let me know what you think,. When I first used it I could tell something changed. Cold weather mileage can also improve if you tend to go before the engine warms up.
Great video I have a question for you I have a 21 Infiniti Q 60 that I do a lot of short drives in I changed it all over to Amsoil at 18 miles How many miles do you think I can go before I have to change the signature series thank you for your time
Costs the same. But for me I look at lowest and highest expected temps when choosing my oil, along with the age and wear on any particular engine. I look at the much lower NOACK Volatility of Amsoil Sig Series 10W-30 and prefer it in hot weather over the 0W-30 or 5W-30 due to least evaporation in really hot weather. I will sacrifice a minute performance or mileage hit to give me best engine protection and less evaporation. If I lived up North, I might use some 0W-30.
I haved used Amsoil in most of my cars, daily drivers, trucks, auto-cross 280zx, motorcycles, generators and even my lawn mower. Never been disappointed. Don't mind paying more for quality especially after pay 20-30K for a new car. Great insurance and sound of mind. Recommend oil analysis every 5k for new users.
Thanks for the awesome insight on Amsoil! I believe that Amsoil is new here in the Philippines since most of us can only order them online but I've learned about this brand for years now that's why I'm very excited to try Amsoil on my next oil change. Since you mentioned that the 2nd set of numbers are the one's to look out for, would it be ok to replace a 10w 50 for a 20w 50 blend? This is for a street bike application with mix city riding and long distance travel use. The manufacturer recommended oil viscosity blend for my bike is a 10w-50 blend but the closest Amsoil available here is a 20w-50 blend at the moment. There is a 10w-50 blend under Amsoil but its specifically formulated for dirtbikes. So is it ok to replace my oil with a 20w-50 blend rather than the manufacturer recommended 10w-50?
I would use the 5w-50 made because Ford specifies it for the high performance Mustang V-8s. Should be outstanding for a street motorcycle or a dirt bike. 20w-50 would only slow the bike down and will not protect the engine any better. Probably less protection because of less flow.
My US 2015 2.0 n/a focus Calls for 5w20 semi synthetic with 1yr/10k miles oil change interval, my friends 2015 focus with the exact same engine in Europe calls for synthetic 0w30 with 1yr/ 24k km. Is this just because of the politically correct federal fuel mileage standards here?
My Civic is the same way. Here in America, it takes only 5W20 but in Japan or Europe it takes anything between 0W20 and 10W40. Same engine. The CAFE (corporate annual fuel economy) and emissions standards here in America do certainly play a large part in oil recommendations as it's seen by the manufacturers as a free way to get a tiny improvement in fuel efficiency and emissions. We are talking a fraction of 1%, but it's still a free improvement. Keep in mind that manufacturers don't care how long the engine lasts as long as it makes it through the warranty period. Never been to Europe, but from what I have read it can be hard to find 20W oils there. There are also differences in how they use their vehicles. As an example, towing capacities are much higher in Europe than in America and towing heavy with small cars is common there. I wouldn't be at all surprised if your Focus is rated to to tow 2K+ pounds there while here in America it is probably rated to tow nothing. And in Germany, driving down the Autobahn wide open surely heats the oil up more and likely requires a heavier oil than typical American use for acceptable longevity. So the simple answer is it's mostly political and possibly to a lesser extent because of differences in how the vehicle may be used. Feel free to use a 30W oil if you want, there's no reason it would work in Europe but not here.
What’s your opinion on running 0W-30 on a subaru brz / toyota 86 as opposed to 0W-20 from toyota. the FA20D is a high revving boxer motor I live up north with a heavy winter and summer. My ultimate question is what is better for protection and overall performance for the motor.
It wouldn't harm your engine but could ruin your clutch as it's not a motorcycle oil. I think we are coming out with a new 0W-30 powersports oil - right now in fact made for wet clutches.. That would have your JASO specifications. But the 10W-30 is awesome stuff. .
Good info! But for me I look at lowest and highest expected temps when choosing my oil, along with the age, wear, and oil consumption history on any particular engine to help me choose the best oil for that engine. I like the much lower NOACK Volatility of Amsoil Sig Series 10W-30 and prefer it in hot weather climates over the 0W-30 or 5W-30 due to the least evaporation in really hot weather. I will sacrifice a minute performance or mileage hit to give me best engine protection and less evaporation. Now if I lived up North, I might use some 0W-30.
Agreed, I live down south and use their 10W30 all year. We rarely get very much below freezing and I have a block heater, so I'm not worried. As for performance or gas mileage differences between their 0W30, 5W30, and 10W30, they are functionally the same once the oil is above room temperature, which can be seen by the negligible differences in viscosity at 40, 100, and 150 degrees C. There's absolutely nothing to be gained from using a less heat tolerant 0W oil in a racing application and anyone who suggests that there is clearly is misinformed about oil specs.
Of course the 20wt will work on the 30wt application. The difference in cst is only 12% @212F 10.0cst vs 8.8cst. This isn’t a large difference in viscosity assuming a well functioning coolant system.
Can BG MOA be added to a fully synthetic motor oil such as Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil? What will actually happen if added? I assume it will increase TBN and help keep Surfaces and piston rings clean.
It will throw off the additive packages and voids AMSOIL's warranty. The whole purpose of AMSOIL is so one never has to use aftermarket oil additives. AMSOIL has done whole seminars on these products which one can write 50,000 words on why never use.
Question: If my Toyota truck calls for 10w-30 conventional oil should I use 5w-30 or should I use Amsoil's 10w-30 synthetic small engine oil? It has 52k miles.
So .. if i use 0w 30 instead of 5w 30 .. will see a difference in acceleration?? I want to switch to different grade ..because it’s stuck in my head that 5w 30 might not give me enough protection .. cause I am hitting redline every now and then
Well 5W-30 is best if that's what your engine calls for. The 0W-30 is still in grade as well but it's just at the low end of the bracket and additives are adjusted so it does react to oxidation better over time. It used to be the 35,000 mile oil in fact.
Rich S the amway of motor oil. Sellers work in the same fashion as amway. Amsoil has the exact same rating as Mobile 1 by the API. Put the viscosity that the manufacturer says plain and simple
Yes you are right. I’m trying to explain it to our people in Russia that this is the same network marketing as Amway. And if at least something with the engine happens due to the fault of Amsoil oil or the like, then there will be no one to make a claim.
I like the way 0w-40 runs over 5w-40. I'm tempted to try the 0w-30 in a BMW 1.9 engine. I plan to replace engine bearings first, and of course clean out the oil pan and check screen.
My guess would be maybe because all of the 0w-40 oils I have seen meet the "A3" spec of ACEA, which is a tough viscosity test, but make sure the bottle says for diesel engines. So I strongly suggest looking up the oil at websites such as Motul, Castrol, Amsoil, Rowe, and whatever brand you like. Also search "0w-40 Diesel engine oil".
Do y'all deliver to my door with groceries, and say hi to my next door neighbor? Also, the oil needs to be wrapped with a red bow on top. Recap...Oil wrapped with red bow and groceries to my door, and hi to my next door neighbor.
Underseas only. Yeah AMSOIL is strict about that so for Overseas you have to call corporate and ask for the international lad they employ. I think he speaks 5 languages although I hear no one can understand him.
I have a 2017 3.6liter and looking for more lubricant protection without going to the signature series, am using 5w-20 XL , but have heard the 3.6liter should have a stronger lubricant to protect the engine. Would like to hear you thoughts and I live in South Dakota-25 to 105f
I'm in South Dakota also. I need the make of the vehicle to help but a 2017 should be just fine using the manufacturers suggested viscosity as there could be issues with the VVT system. Unless you mean difference between signature series and XL, the XL is great and offers the same LSPI protection new engines need. (Low speed pre ignition from directly fuel injection issues igniting the oil before fuel is applied)
Yep! That's the oil that really pushed me into quitting at SW Bell just from my impressions using that in my Miata at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, TX.
@@Syntheticwarehouse I understand they're not the same viscosity. I don't mean to sound snarky but my question is can it be used safely? (Meaning w/o harm to the engine.) If you're just not sure that's okay, you can say so. My owner's manual claims 0w-20 is "recommended" but they do not say not to use other viscosities. Some theorize this is for fuel economy only.
@@johnmcsweeney4966 Pre-2005 that was the case but post 2005 engines were built for lower viscosities. And VVT (variable valve Timing solenoids) need the 20WT to work properly.. So that's not an opinion. But ultimately that's answered by oil testing and oil consumption. Personally I love what you get from 5W-20 and 0W-30. Going to a 30 of any kind is just throwing away fuel economy and good performance for no reason. Remember AMSOIL tests it's 0W-20 oils in 1990's era engines with no increase in wear over normal indicators.
Only if the Accord used 5W-30 or 10W-30.. Isn't that car a 0W-20 or 5W-20? If so you already have a lower viscosity oil so the 0W-30 would work against that. See what I'm sayin?
But my manul says when it’s on warranty takes 0w20 with API seal on it. I’m thinking about alternative to my oem honda 0w20. I like to rev my engine sometime)
@@JayzBeerz Exactly like most of what scamsoil dealers say lol... Likely means throttle *response* but... Just like the W number... its not 70f LOL its mroe like -10.
I put Amsoil Metric 10w40 in my Honda CBR 2 days ago and my bike's throttle response is way faster and aggro. No bullshit. Hell, the whole bike drives and shifts smoother and runs about 5 celcius cooler.
Yes - that is one of the main issue AMSOIL is trying to get public that theirs is the only one to use due to the lowest volatility. But the bigger issue is LSPI - Predetonation at the rings taking out the pistons when you use petroleum based "synthetics" like Castrol or Mobil's. The oil is detonating before the fuel enters the chamber due to it's nature. When OEM are forced by the EPA to re-tune or advance timing this will leave vehicles stranded if they don't meet the next API specification due out in late 2020 which we already do.
I'm currently using the amsoil 10w30 signature series on my 1993 toyota previa, will i be able to use the 0w30 on that van even though the van or manufacturer calls for a 10w30 oil?
Yes - the website is oilordering.com or use email: ches@syntheticwarehouse.com You may have used syntheticwarehouse.com which is being replaced at this moment so it's not functional.
I'm working on all of these and sent a test message which came through but haven't seen yours. Did you pass the test question? Otherwise you can email directly at ches@syntheticwarehouse.com.

Yes you are right. I’m trying to explain it to our people in Russia that this is the same network marketing as Amway. And if at least something with the engine happens due to the fault of Amsoil oil or the like, then there will be no one to make a claim.
Can i change from 0w20 to 0w30 with no problem?
I'm wondering the same.
I'll be using 0w-40 signature series in my next on the next oil change.

I like the way 0w-40 runs over 5w-40. I'm tempted to try the 0w-30 in a BMW 1.9 engine. I plan to replace engine bearings first, and of course clean out the oil pan and check screen.
I'm using the 0w40 in my 6.4 liter challenger....great stuff
@@tarquineous Hey friend. Is it ok to use 0w40 instead of recommended 5w40?
I have skoda octavia 1.9tdi diesel 2007. Thanks.
My guess would be maybe because all of the 0w-40 oils I have seen meet the "A3" spec of ACEA, which is a tough viscosity test, but make sure the bottle says for diesel engines.
So I strongly suggest looking up the oil at websites such as Motul, Castrol, Amsoil, Rowe, and whatever brand you like. Also search "0w-40 Diesel engine oil".
Do y'all deliver to my door with groceries, and say hi to my next door neighbor? Also, the oil needs to be wrapped with a red bow on top. Recap...Oil wrapped with red bow and groceries to my door, and hi to my next door neighbor.
0w30 is the newest spec oil for the 7500rpm coyote v8. Superior oil flow and no pumping loses from 5w.
Great oil
Plus if you are tracking the car you shouldn't worry about useing the oil for while.
Hi I have a Ford mondeo / fusion 2ltr tdci that requires 0/30, could I use amsoil 0/30 . From the UK.
do you ship overseas?
Underseas only. Yeah AMSOIL is strict about that so for Overseas you have to call corporate and ask for the international lad they employ. I think he speaks 5 languages although I hear no one can understand him.
I have a 2017 3.6liter and looking for more lubricant protection without going to the signature series, am using 5w-20 XL , but have heard the 3.6liter should have a stronger lubricant to protect the engine. Would like to hear you thoughts and I live in South Dakota-25 to 105f
I'm in South Dakota also. I need the make of the vehicle to help but a 2017 should be just fine using the manufacturers suggested viscosity as there could be issues with the VVT system. Unless you mean difference between signature series and XL, the XL is great and offers the same LSPI protection new engines need. (Low speed pre ignition from directly fuel injection issues igniting the oil before fuel is applied)
Why aren't the API rating for the 0w30 oil not updated to SP??
It is comforting to know this product is the best, and made in America!
AMS Series 2000 use to advertise this as a 35.000 mile service oil
Yep! That's the oil that really pushed me into quitting at SW Bell just from my impressions using that in my Miata at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, TX.
Does Amsoil have a position on if 0w-30 can safely be used in lieu of 0w-20? Thank you.
It's the wrong viscosity so that would not benefit you. 20 and 30s are totally different.
@@Syntheticwarehouse I understand they're not the same viscosity. I don't mean to sound snarky but my question is can it be used safely? (Meaning w/o harm to the engine.) If you're just not sure that's okay, you can say so. My owner's manual claims 0w-20 is "recommended" but they do not say not to use other viscosities. Some theorize this is for fuel economy only.
@@johnmcsweeney4966 Pre-2005 that was the case but post 2005 engines were built for lower viscosities. And VVT (variable valve Timing solenoids) need the 20WT to work properly.. So that's not an opinion. But ultimately that's answered by oil testing and oil consumption.
Personally I love what you get from 5W-20 and 0W-30. Going to a 30 of any kind is just throwing away fuel economy and good performance for no reason.
Remember AMSOIL tests it's 0W-20 oils in 1990's era engines with no increase in wear over normal indicators.
@@Syntheticwarehouse Okay, thank you. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Can i use 0w30 in 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 t? I like to rev sometime. Thank you!
Only if the Accord used 5W-30 or 10W-30.. Isn't that car a 0W-20 or 5W-20? If so you already have a lower viscosity oil so the 0W-30 would work against that. See what I'm sayin?
@@Syntheticwarehouse yes i see . My car takes 0w20
But my manul says when it’s on warranty takes 0w20 with API seal on it. I’m thinking about alternative to my oem honda 0w20. I like to rev my engine sometime)
How's amsoil 5w40 improved european car formula for 1.9tdi(vw engine) diesel engine? Will it be good?
Just go on amsoils website and bring up your vehicle and use what they recommend for your vehicle. Simple.
"throttle power"? WTF does that even mean? lol
lmao nothing he made it up
@@JayzBeerz Exactly like most of what scamsoil dealers say lol... Likely means throttle *response* but... Just like the W number... its not 70f LOL its mroe like -10.
= response is faster
@Rudy Cota pennzoil Ultra platinum..only get it online nobody carrys ultra platinum..
I put Amsoil Metric 10w40 in my Honda CBR 2 days ago and my bike's throttle response is way faster and aggro. No bullshit. Hell, the whole bike drives and shifts smoother and runs about 5 celcius cooler.
Heard it was 50% Ester and 50% POA ?
the bigger concern now seems to be with Direct injection engines. the deposites the crank case ventilation leaves on the valves.
Yes - that is one of the main issue AMSOIL is trying to get public that theirs is the only one to use due to the lowest volatility. But the bigger issue is LSPI - Predetonation at the rings taking out the pistons when you use petroleum based "synthetics" like Castrol or Mobil's. The oil is detonating before the fuel enters the chamber due to it's nature. When OEM are forced by the EPA to re-tune or advance timing this will leave vehicles stranded if they don't meet the next API specification due out in late 2020 which we already do.
Great video, my car requires 5w-40 European formula. Would 0w-40 Signature be an ok substitute?
Yes. I do the same on my Audi. Although the european series had more zink. Like 50% more. But the signature will work
Better lubricant, better power.
5.7 Hemi calls for 5w-20 can i use 0w-20 ??
Yes - per our tech folks this is OK to do.. They both test out the same when the engine reaches 200F.
@@Syntheticwarehouse Thanks, it doesn't get below 5 Degrees Fahrenheit in the winter for Kentucky so I'll probably stick to 5W20 ?? I guess
@@Robs_Got_A_Gun Either way - at operating temp they are exactly the same.
It's ok.
I'm currently using the amsoil 10w30 signature series on my 1993 toyota previa, will i be able to use the 0w30 on that van even though the van or manufacturer calls for a 10w30 oil?
NO! This guy is a moron! I am an AMSOIL dealer and I am reporting him !

what about honda civic 1998 its good that oil for it.
amsoil rocks... plenty of good reviews..
Ronnie Geronimo www
If my manual says 5w 30... would it be ok to use 0w 30 ....just want to try sth new
Yes
Gee, another infomercial for amsoil on You tube. Too bad Amsoil is too cheap to advertise the normal way.
They put their money into the product instead.
This implys Amsoil paid for this video. Which they did not. lol
