From what I have read in the past, Amsoil does have the highest flash rate. Its good shet. IMO, amsoil is great for modded motors making quite a bit of horsepower and heat.

I used the stuff in a built Honda 440EX I had.

I posted 95% of my post count in strictly in the Saleen section and havent seen any of the "arguments" matt. I just started venturing out elsewhere

I followed howermatts link, but fail to see anything about Amsoil OIL statistics.

howarmat

He was referring to the filter comaparision and the fram filter being under par.....i think 22karts dad works in the oil business so those are the studies he is referring to but probably has no access to them

I read everything I could get my hands on about this topic and got so confused I just kept using what the manual recommends!

I ended up getting Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic..thanks to all that helped out!

5w30 or 5w20....if 5w30 may I ask what made you lean that way?

Yep howarmat is right, but you can find some real tests proving oil quality/performance on the internet.

And I would also like to know what made you lean towards 5w-30

06Saleen3V

All the Saleen guys told me it is recommended by Saleen to use 5w-30 and that is what the previous owner put in the car as well....someone else also explained to me that 5w-20 is usually better when the car is new but that 5w-30 is better when the car is broken in...
