It has been discussed. New tests are coming. The huge amount of calcium in Amsoil keeps engines sparkling clean. Will changes be necessary ? |

Currently using 5W-40.
I feel like the car engine bay smells really bad when I was using 0W-20 if I drive it about 30-45 minutes. |

Seems like as good of reason as any to switch to a non user manual specified oil weight!

Is anyone running anything different for high mileage cars? Have been running the recommended 0W-20 since 2012.
Getting close to 90,000 mark. |

On my 04 WRX I did it at 50k, 100k and next will be 150k in a few years. It’s worth every penny. |
