Chucky2007 Turbocharged October 16, 2007 Share October 16, 2007 (edited) Hi, I am currently using Amsoil ATM 10w30. Intend to change to a 0w20 oil. Was deciding between: 1. Motul 300v 0w20 S$100 for 4Litre or 2. Amsoil ASM 0w20 S$60 for 4quart. Need some advice on whether "Double Ester Technology" is really better in protection? Is it proven or just a hype? Appreciate your input. Thanks in advance for advice. Edited October 16, 2007 by Chucky2007 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrari7 Neutral Newbie October 16, 2007 Share October 16, 2007 I have used Amsoil 0W20 for a few oil changes. Currently using Redline 5W20. Being 2000km into the oil and butt feel tells me that the engine revs a tweeny weeny bit faster with Amsoil 0W20. Barely discernible really. Ignoring actual engine protection and simply based on power output alone, I would say that Redline 5W20 isn't quite worth the extra money over Amsoil 0W20. Because after 10,000km of extremely hard core city driving, Amsoil still felt very very smooth. So smooth that infact topping it up with the Redline 5W20 was an anti-climax. I was expecting more smoothness and power, but no. No diff. My driving style is aggressive. Frequent jack rabbit starts and redlining for fun.

Chucky2007 Turbocharged October 17, 2007 Author Share October 17, 2007 Thanks for the detail review on redline n amsoil! Have u consider motul bec no paper, its viscosity index even lower than amsoil 0w20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrari7 Neutral Newbie October 17, 2007 Share October 17, 2007 (edited) Referring to Motul 300V 0W20 Hi Rev? I did contemplate using that. But Amsoil 0W20 already gives me an excellent balance between power and being smooth through-out a long oil change interval (10,000km in my case). I have used German Castrol 0W30, Mobil 1 0W20, SPC 0W30, Mobil 1 0W40 and as far as I am concerned, Amsoil 0W20 outperforms them in terms of power and not becoming rough so soon. I am sure the Motul would liberate more power, but I wonder how much more, since Redline and its ester hype does not impress me that much. The law of diminishing return applies I guess. I love my car but I prefer to spend the extra $40 dining at a restaurant. heheh. How about you try Motul and fill us in. . . .
