Thanks for the thumbs up Brucelee, 0W40 right? Or is it 5W40? I knew AMSOIL was good stuff but just didn't know the rating.

Lots of conjecture, belief, anectodal, confirmed, advice! As others have said, there are lots of choices out there...

Use ANY of the recommended brands - and change them at 7500-10,000 mi. intervals (w/ filter), and you'll NEVER have an Oil Brand related issue !!!!

If you're RED State - go with Moibil 1...

If you're Blue State - choose RedLine, Royal Purple, Amzoil, etc...

And, you'll NEVER have a problem related to Oil Type !!!

Uh-oh, Lil bastard's gone and introduced politics into the issue.

I THINK they make both but I am not sure. The oil formulations change pretty frequently.
