Amsoil
Was given a brochure for AMSOIL at a car show and was surprised by their range and
product line especially Z-Rod 20/50 which seems directed right at the older Porsches, with great ZDDP numbers and a range of "european car formula" oils and 3 or 4 "racing oils". Made it all sound good but maybe just talk. Anyone using any of these products? Although ZeeRod 20/50 might be a bit heavy for up here in Canada, I think they did have a couple of 10/40 products. ?? Just wondering, but for now I'll probably keep using 15/40 Swepco which seems to be popular on this forum. |

I've used a variety of their products and have been happy with all aspects, well except the price.. I'm sure though, there are more knowledgable people that could answer.

There are a few guys here, myself included, who are dealers for Amsoil.
Search the forums and you will find that AMSOIL is discussed frequently. I run the Dominator 15w50 in my 911.

I started using the ZROD 20w 50 in my last oil change, and I use AMSOIL in the wife's Prius.
I'm happy with AMSOIL, and they even ship the oil thru the USPS to where I'm stationed in Germany.

Here is a product data sheet on the Z-Rod oil: LINK
This data sheet shows the zinc and phosphorus levels in the Z-Rod oil, as well as several other of the Amsoil oils. If Z and Ph are your goal for anti-wear, then use the Dominator. Z-Rod has higher levels of rust and corrosion inhibitor additives, and may be a better choice for those people who store their cars, or use them infrequently.
