Actually, it could be both, as in a blend, but, since I don't use it or sell it, the last I heard it was Group IV, but that was a few years back. It's definitely not a leading-edge synthetic PAO/Ester blend oil, (as the better line of AMSOIL syntheic oils are). I guess what I am saying is, since the better line of AMSOIL is only a little bit more in price,(but lower in cost), and performs so much better, I really don't pay much attention to the XL-7500 series.

But it isn't a blend, I posted Amsoil's official statement on it, and you are still arguing that its group IV, are you saying the manufacturer is lying now?

HiTechOilCo. Not only are you the worst thread quoter in the history of forums, you're getting PWNT on your own product by someone that doesn't even work for Amsoil.
Classic.

AMSOIL is great. I buy direct through the website and it's not that expensive for what it is.
In truth though, without a turbo, AMSOIL is a bit of overkill, in that it's really better than our cars need.

Since AMSOIL costs so much less to use than other oils, it makes it a no brainer anyway. The best for less. Steve

I use Mobil 1 0-40w
It gives the most HP.
But I change my oil every 3k mi.
(Also german Turbo cars use this oil too)

Interesting article. AMSOIL proved the best in the tests performed. I found it odd to compare oils from differing companies, yet the oils were not of the same viscosity, so of course the lighter weight/thinner oil provided the most power output, as it will produce the least drag.
Curious...why didn't you use AMSOIL instead?

bottom line is... if you care about your ride as i do... you'll always use the best YOU feel is right for your engine. I'm happy with Amsoil. running a supercharged setup. i chose to use 5w40 AMSOIL. it's holding up great. i always warm the car up so the oil is free flowing to the supercharger as well, and also so the engine has expanded to seal internally. especialy for us FI folks up here in cooler climates.
