I guess the answer to that varies with engine condition,OCI and a host of other factors. I spoke with Darren (Tech Dept.) at Amsoil today on this very subject. The S3000 is an excellent oil. Will it thicken out of grade for a given application and OCI? You'll just have to try it and see how it performs in your vehicle. I'm going to.quote:

Thanks Sully. Are there any others? Also, does the Amsoil HD 5w-30 tend to thicken like the other Amsoil oils? If so, I am not interested.
The specs. you see on Castrol's we-site is for GC. The old stocks do not meet these specs!!quote:

The regular Castrol Syntec 0w-30 is BMW Long life rated as well.
Is the regular Castrol Syntec 0w-30 good oil?
Is this actually "Approve by/for..." or "Meets the spec of..."quote:
