Aruss87 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I was wondering if anyone has ran the 5w40 European amsoil --- oil. I'm between that and 5w30 european and also 5w30 extended life. The prices are close enough not to influence my decision.. I just want the best oil for the beast. I plan on switching viscosities for winter driving, so I don't need a viscosity for cold temps!

captainobvious Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have only run Amsoil in my legacy. 3800 mile interval and burns about half a quart after 3000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruss87 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 What do you think about the 5w40 European?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Boy, you must be new here. Both my cars are on European 5w-40, I chose it because it meets the standards for turbo's. A lot of us run 5w-40 oil in these cars. I use their EA15K13 filter and have decided on 5000 OCI. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Good, I think you'll like it. Most of the high end oils are about the same more or less. Like I said, I decided to go with 5000 mile OCI, I may bump that up to 6000. I have a couple of reports from Blackstone Labs at 7500 miles saying to take a sample at 10,000 but I think I'll just save the lab fee and change it out a little sooner. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
