what really gets me is that it is AMSOIL sponsered. they talk about how small oil companies may not api test their oil but place a look a like badge on them to fool the customer. yet that is what amsoil does so it makes little sense.

yeah i just checked out the article, definately some good info. but correct me if im wrong...doesnt the W in 20W30 or 5W20 or whatever stand for winter not weight. it said in that article it standed for weight. plus if i recall correctly even one of my school books on engines said it stood for winter. am i wrong or what?

ok well i just answered my own question...did a search on google and about every site i could find says the w stands for winter. not to bust ***** but with that being said how could one find that the website previously mentioned is so credible with its facts. i mean you never know , plus im no oil expert, but its just something to keep in mind.

Yepper, it means winter. This info is old. Read it for what it is and nothing more.
