From a cost standpoint, AMSOIL isn't that great.

And from a technical standpoint it isn't either. They're good, don't get me wrong, but you can get some properly awesome oil for a way better price point. AMSOIL sells you a lot of sizzle without a lot of the steak.

You want a cheap and enormously good quality 0W-20? Get Toyota Genuine Motor Oil, even from the dealer its usually not that badly priced. TGMO has to be made from particularly good base stock oil ("full synthetics") to get the viscosity index it has.

Which basically means it thinner when cold then almost every other 0W-20 out there.




And if you're really brave, Redline sells a 0W-10 oil, but yeah, get a pressure gauge, thats a whole 'nother universe of things.
