It's fine for your engine. Go ask on bobistheoilguy.com and see what you get.

same here, if you are going to spend to get the oil, might as well buy their synthetic filter,

It and the oil are suppose to be good for 25,000 miles or 1 year
but I only put 10,000-15,000 miles a year, so the year always comes 1st

I agree, I'm using their oil filter too. First time using Amsoil I left it in for 10,000 miles using K&N filter (changed filter @ 5,000 miles). Now with the Amsoil filter, I think I'll go 15,000. I also went to Amsoil's kick a$$ air filter on my CAI. No oil to mess up my MAF.

Amsoil 0W20 is excellent and is what I'm using along with their filter. I currently do my oil and filter changes at 10,000 miles.
