AMSOIL Engine oil

Rating 5.0

The dreaded Pentastar tick is GONE! It took about a week of regular use for the noise (on the passenger side of the top of the engine) that used to show up after idling for a few minutes to completely disappear with the new oil. I’m sure plenty of oils work fine but I went with Amsoil because my brother gave me a gift card and referral coupon for my birthday. I run 6 qts because I already have the Baxter spin-on adapter. Which requires a little more oil. The dipstick reads “low” at 5 qts whether I’m idling or checking it after the Jeep has been off for ten minutes. With 6 qts it sits right and holds a steady 30 PSI and never spikes. Such a relief!

Pros: noise disappeared, holds steady PSI
Cons: dipstick reads low at 5 qts

I wouldn’t go with 0W20. Most people thicken the oil up in these when they start getting excessive oil burning. Lots of folks running Rotella 5W40. I ran it for years before I got tired of paying the premium price.

Pros: thicken oil, excessive oil burning
Cons: premium price

I use Shell Helix Ultra 5w30 in my 330i car. It also has BMW Long Life certification. I'm very satisfied with it and would recommend it to you. It also offers good value for money compared to other higher-end brands. You don't get better performance for the money you pay.

Pros: very satisfied, good value, good performance
Vehicle: BMW

I run the diesel Rotella T6 5w-40. My catalytic converter decided to start throwing P0420 codes around 58k miles and I spoke to a shop that I am going to have tune my car and one of the techs said that they reformulated T6 a few years ago and it has more zinc in it than it used to and that might have had an effect on my cat and it's early demise.

Cons: effect on catalytic converter
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 58000 km
