Wow, very nice! -drools-

A full synthetic (Group IV?) 0W30 that isn't thicker than a 5W30... I'd definitely like to use that someday.

Having said that,I have a question. For my 95' Explorer,in the application guide,it shows XL 5w30, ASL 5w30 and TSO 0w30.

Now,being as this is a 0w30,I'm assuming this would work in the Ford specifications. Some would tell me if I'm wrong

I saw that the other day in the “what's new” area at the Amsoil site. My direct jobber did not know what I was talking about when I mentioned it was updated. Wow a 13.2 TBN, is that the highest of any Amsoil oil?

They mentioned it is a 35th anniversary edition. I think they might be making more of the signature series products.

They will be coming out with two new brake fluids as well.

The specs looked pretty good at a glance on the screen.

They will be allowing you to custom make EA air filters at some point as well. They will have a form that you fill out the dimensions send it in a get your new custom EA air filter.

$9.95 per quart! Wowee zowee. I love Amsoil and I love 0-weights, but I'm thinking it's too much.

Can anyone give a truly justified reason for getting this over the ASL?
