My last 2 rides a '95 Dodge Dakota 4x4 5.2L I used 0W-30 after talking to Amsoil when I bought my '02 Sport 4x4 3.7L automatic I called Amsoil and once a again they recommended 0W-30 since I used Amsoil since 1976 I always use what they recommend not regrets. When ever I'm getting a buddy switched out we look at all the literature Amsoil supplies then I contact Amsoil and ask for what they would reccomend then we discuss what ever my buddy wants I'm not into a hard sell, but I try to supply as much information and discuss all available options. I have never had anyone regret their conversion to Amsoil plus moost truly appreiciate a listing and discussion of all the different options before we put Amsoil in. You can never have too moch information. Having sold Amsoil for 30 years I have never had a disatisfied customer. When making an investment like this in your baby I want to give you the best advise and support I can.
Does going to the 0w30 affect the warranty? That sure sounds like some good oil...
Here are the specs on the AMSOIL 0W-30
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil (TSO)
Modern passenger car and light truck engines are built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil optimizes efficiency and power without the sacrifice in wear protection that comes with many fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils.
Testing shows AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil dramatically outperforms popular conventional and synthetic motor oils of typical viscosities in wear protection (see chart below).

Package sizes include:
1-Quart Bottle
1-Quart Bottles (case of 12)
1-Gallon Bottle
1-Gallon Bottles (case of 4)
30-Gallon Drum
55-Gallon Drum
Fuel Efficient Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil efficiently transfers energy from the engine to the drivetrain. Its low coefficient of friction inhibits the energy loss to “drag” common to high viscosity oils.
Motorists seeking the ultimate in fuel efficiency may use AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.
High Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil protects in high temperatures better than the conventional and synthetic oils tested. Even after extended service in the engine, AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil maintains its ability to protect in high temperatures.
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is specially formulated for superior cold temperature engine protection. It retains excellent fluidity in extremely low temperatures, so it flows quickly and reliably to allow easy starting and immediate lubricating protection.
Motorists seeking cold temperature dependability and protection may use AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.
Heat Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is highly resistant to volatility. For example, in heat that causes conventional motor oils to lose as much as 25 percent of their mass, AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil loses less than 10 percent.
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil’s resistance to volatility keeps oil consumption extremely low and, more importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly lubricated and protected. Its resistance to volatility also helps keep fuel efficiency high and emissions low.
Clean Engine Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is durable and resists sludge, varnish and other by-products of high-temperature degradation. With no deposits to foul them, engines stay cleaner longer for top performance and efficiency and maximum service life.
Shear Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is shear stable. With AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil’s excellent viscosity retention, the protection that goes into the engine is the protection that stays in the engine, even over an extended course of severe service.
Application
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil meets or exceeds the engine protection requirements of all domestic and foreign gasoline and diesel engines specifying the following:
API SM/CF, SL, SJ . . .
ILSAC GF-4, 3 . . .
ACEA A5/B5
JASO VTW
GM 4718M, 6094M
Ford WSS-M2C-929A
Chrysler MS-6395N
VW 503
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
Service Life
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline-fueled vehicles as follows:
Normal Service(3) - Up to 35,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
Severe Service(4) - Up to 17,500 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
Replace AMSOIL Ea™ Full-Flow Oil Filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).
In all other applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM-approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in good working condition and within the factory design settings. Mechanically sound engines, for example, do not leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal or external anti-freeze leaks and have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal transportation vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, excessive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL engine oil in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short-trip driving (less than 10 miles), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty-condition driving.
AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters.
