Amsoil SS 0w20 vs 5w30 in 1.5T UOA

[ltslimjim]

Stick with Amsoil 0w20 but monitor for fuel dilution.

FWIW, I believe M1 0w20 AFE to be superb for 10k miles but it may not hold up quite as well to fuel dilution or shearing; but I like their lower Cal formulation for sure. It consistently went beyond 15k miles in my BIL's Fit.

A 30 for summer may be fine especially to curb any concerns from fuel, but I wouldn't settle on going up a grade. The differences are single digit PPM. Just let that sink in...

Maybe I’ll stick to 5K intervals till my stash of Amsoil 0W20 is up then go to 0W30 after.


Or mix it 1/2 & 1/2 with 0w40.

I would've just adopted a 5W30 (in SS) for 10k miles OCI and call it a day.
