Does Amsoil still Bottle Mobil 1
as with redline better base stock allows less additive
it's what allows the 0-40 to hold up whereas other base stock synthetics get to 5-30 ,10-40 spread
does Amsoil meet the euro spec?

Re- Mineral break-in oil

Randy, I had to smile when you said you use Amsoil even in your lawnmower. I have been using PradPen in my vehicles and even in my lawn mowers. I have a 502 BBF to break in and am going to use Amsoil 10w40 Premium Protection in the engine other than break-in. Would you share which break-in oil do you use?

Thank you, Dan Engler

I get that "break-in" oil from Amsoil, also. It is straight SAE 30 weight and looks like heavy ATF; (being red and all).

IMHO if you have roller rockers and a roller cam you do not need any special break in oil
that said I do not use the high buck stuff for break in if I am going to change it
I just used the good stuff where the break in was a cross country trip
