Amsoil 5W30 HDD Series 3000, but am switching to their 0W30 Series 2000 next change. Also using the Amsoil oil filters (and Air Filters) . Be sure to use the correct filter, whatever brand, these engines need the Anti-drainback valve and the pressure relief valve in the oil filter. if your oil light stays on for more than a couple of seconds in the mornings, its a good sign your filter either doesnt have the anti-drainback valve or it isnt working.

The "preferred customer plan" will save you some money if you are getting enough for 2 or more cars, once you sign up, (costs ten dollars) you can then buy as much as you want at wholesale price for 6 months, saves approx 20-25%, its their way to get people interested in becoming new dealers. a dealership costs $25/year, good tax writeoff if nothing else. Drawback is keeping good records of mileage etc and doing the extra tax forms... ( I usually sell more than enough to friends and neighbors to pay for what I use. also got an $82 commission check last month, mostly from stuff my downline dealers and commercial accounts bought:) )



Or you can look in the yellow pages under "OIL" for a local Amsoil dealer.

Sorry about the commercial pitch, but if you want to use the best, you might as well know how to save some money on it, (or even make some extra).
