I want to know if you can use the Amsoil 0W 40 oil? the closest place that sell's it close to me only has this oil.

You actually found a place that sells Amsoil?

Usually Amsoil gives you a somewhat local phone number, you call that number and if you're lucky some creep meets you in a grocery store parking lot and sells the stuff out of the trunk of his brown '74 Dodge Dart.


Amsoil has that weird cult aura about it like Amway, Herbalife, Mary Kay and Fuller Brush.
You can do a web search on Amsoil and find thousands of people praising it...only problem is after you read to the end of all their hype you find every single one is *SELLING* it too.

Also before you put the stuff in your bike check their web site and see if it meets API certifications.

Note that almost all their oils such as the Synthetic ATM 10W30 say:
recommended for applications requiring the following specifications:
API SL, SJ, CF

Clever wording to try and dupe stupid people into thinking the stuff is API certified.

After being dogged for years they finally made the API certified XL series oil and from what I understand it made the certification because they used a mass produced base stock used by many other oil companies.

Also notice the wording on the XL products:

Meets or exceeds the following specifications for domestic and foreign gasoline engines:

API SL, SJ


Why bother when you can go to Walmart and buy any kind of API certified oil you want at a fraction of the price?

I was wondering if the '0 Wt was ok to use? and why they would use '0 wt for many applications...like on the back of the container.

My Amsoil dealer drop ships my orders to my house. Just hafta plan ahead...

There's a chopper shop in town that sells it too, but for way too damn much. And they only seem to carry V-Twin oil. I just go to Amsoil's site, finger out what I need, let my dealer know, a week later I have my Amsoil on my doorstep. BTW: said dealer isn't even a creep!

Point is, they'll drop-ship, so get your dodge dart creep on the ball.

I own / race a 1995 Ford Probe GT (faster than you might think.. but it's not really a Probe anymore anyways) and am sponsored by Amsoil.

Amsoil is the only oil / oil filter I use in any of my vehicles.. from the tow truck, to the race car, to the Busa. I have had countless tests done on both the truck and car and they have come back excellent! Even with 5k+ miles per change!

I have not tested my Busa oil yet, but I will be at the end of the season. I don't put a huge amount of miles on it, so I don't think it will be a big issue about wear, but better safe than sorry.

For my oil testing, I use www.blackstone-labs.com
