That oil is great stuff, along with any of the Amsoil ss line.
The "0" is only applicable for the extreme cold so once it's warmed up then it's the same as any 30 weight. It's meant to cover an operating range from very cold to warm incase you are driving in those temps during 1 oil change
Really if the temps were 70 degrees all year you wouldn't need multi viscosity oil

Yeah I know but with DI oil dilution I'm just more comfortable with these intervals.
I'm gonna get my next change tested to see where I'm at.
I'm gonna swap out that tranny fluid at the same time
Waste or not... makes me feel better... high compression and turbos = performance. but also increased blowby... I never go longer than 5K between changes and my dealer has no problem doing that on my prepaid 70K mile maintenance agreement. It is also very dusty here which also spurs me on. I take them the Amsoil signature... They do the rest.

I can't think of a way in which grade might effect tailpipe emissions anyway. Volatility might.
I haven't seen the shiny of my tailpipes in months. I've just accepted them as blacked out now. Lol

Show off.
I do typically blend between E15 and E20, I've never noticed a difference.
Funny story...
I didn't realize the inner section of the outlets were polished literally for the first year of ownership. They were solid black the day I took delivery and I never knew otherwise. Lol

Glad I found this thread because the black tips are driving me nuts on both my wifes XSport and my SHO.
The next oil change will be with the Amsoil 0w and I'm also going to polishing the tips with Mothers and adding a good coat of wax. Its amazing how bad they can get in the winter and how hard it is to clean them.

I cleaned the tips on my SHO for the first time in perhaps 10 months or so...since last spring. About 7K miles driven in that time. Many of those miles with a mild E blend (15 to 17ish). Have to admit, it was less severe than when I polished them up before, between purchase date and last spring, when I wasn't blending E.
Definitely reduced the soot. But didn't eliminate on my SHO.

Strangely since ive installed the meth kit the only time i get black soot is after the wife has had her out for a couple days and i know she purposely keeps it out of meth range(and boost for that matter)
