you have been reading the lies on the Scamsoil website, stay away from any
MLM company!!!!! The only Scamsoil 15W40 that IS API certified isn't even a
synthetic, it's a synthetic blend!!!!!!

Bob Ayers is correct. You may want to avoid any dealer warranty hassles by reading what oils actually have the API license. See what five (5) products Amsoil has that are truly API certified/licensed.
