Anybody using AMSOIL?

Did a search.. not much info. I've been using AMSOIL products in my cars, trucks and bikes for years. However, looking at their website I don't see where they offer a 0-40 weight oil, however they do offer a 5-40 weight oil.

I'm in eastern NC, where it's been in the high 90s for what seems like weeks.. no joke. Safe for use?

dsanto is infamous around these parts
I've used Amsoil for a while myself and have had great luck with it. I checked and believe that the 5-40 is approved and would work just fine but you might want to contact Amsoil to be sure.

Last Porsche Brand approval list I saw Amsoil was not on it...neither was Royal Purple which is another really good oil. I've used both before in a race boat with a 502ci engine and they performance well.

^ I've used both of these oils in my S2000 (with a 9300 rpm redline). They are fantastic oils.

Not sure if the 5W-40 would really matter in the summer. If you lived in a cold winter area that might make a difference on startup only. I don't think I would sweat it.

However, a good website to research oil and its characteristics/properties is the LN Engineering webiste.
