Engine oil AMSOIL or ZIC
With Amsoil even if it's not signature series I trust it more than any other 0w8.
I run Amsoil and my oil change interval is 25k so the answer is it depends.
I only use Amsoil Signature Series in my B58.
I changed to that and really happy with it so far, shifting is butter smooth.
Based on my own tests, I found the AmsOil to be the best at reducing heat a few degrees. It's not cheap, but it's still cheap insurance, all things considered.
I use Amsoil 20w50 in all 3. You don’t need a different oil for the trans. Amsoil is not cheap but I’ve been using it on my 03 FatBoy since new and have had no problems.
Originally switched to Amsoil for the Noack rating but stayed because it's just good stuff. I now run Amsoil products for all fluids in all vehicles.
Been using Zic on two Hyundais (Tucson, Santa Fe), and ok yung performance niya. Maintained yung cars with fully synthetic, 10k/1 year intervals. Smooth pa rin manakbo ang engine until today.
I used Amsoil 5w40 European Car formula or Gulf 5w40 Formula G in my A6 previously. Technically Amsoil doesn't have the have the VW 502 00, 505 00 certifications so I think I will start using Gulf Formula G or GX exclusively in my R, either the 5w40 or 5w30 grade.
im actually running that oil right now... I hate it tbh. 3,100 on the oil and it has allowed excess engine noise since day one, SUPER harsh cold starts, and now its burning through faster than the catrol I ran when I first got the car. a WHOLE QUART over 750 miles. the oil is thinner than piss going in, and it just doesnt stand up to what my engine can put out like Shell Rotella T6 has been doing...
