I have for sale a few gallons of Amsoil 0w-20 motor oil. We were going to try to run it in my wife's integra, but the rust is killing it, so we are going to be trading for a different car which has a different design of engine which requires a more robust, heavier oil. Id prefer to sell it to somebody relatively local, as to prevent shipping charges. You can find it here: http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/asm.aspx?zo=1556971 It is a great oil which produces excellent results in used oil analysis determination of engine wear. It is also designed with an additive package that allows for up to 25k oil change intervals, which is a major reduction in used motor oil that has to be dealt with (usually burned, releasing inorganics into the air along with it). Note from the specs below that it has a high-temperature/high-shear value of 2.8, which is quite good for a 20wt oil, which generally gives a bit of a sacrifice in terms of protection and engine longevity for reduced fuel consumption. Also note the total base number of 12.1, which makes this product prime for long drain intervals and "cool, untaxed engines", which have the potential of higher fuel dilution and crankcase water content, since it prevents corrosion and related breakdown. Maximizes Fuel Economy AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy. Its light viscosity properties reduce drag and its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more freely to lower friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy efficiency. Protects Against Wear AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is a shear stable formulation with a high viscosity index. It provides excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and contains robust anti-wear additives for the best possible engine protection. Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil has a very low volatility rate, making it excellent at controlling volatility related oil consumption and emissions. Excels in Extreme Temperatures AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil resists thermal breakdown better than conventional oils. It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL ASM contains no wax. It stays fluid down to -65°F for improved cold temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting. Applications AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Ford and all other applications where SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 is required with the following specifications: * API SM/CF, SL, SJ. . . * ILSAC GF-4, 3. . . * ACEA A1/B1 * Ford WSS-M2C930-A * DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N Some tech info is as follows: AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil (ASM) Viscosity @ 100°C, cSt (ASTM D-445) 9.0 Viscosity @ 40°C, cSt (ASTM D-445) 49.1 Viscosity Index (ASTM D-2270) 165 VISC.

I've been using Amsoil products for years. My Geo Metro and my Wife's Grand Marquis get the once a year oil change and with the new 'nano filters' I don't even change the filter mid year any longer. As soon as the Xd goes out of warranty it will be once a year as well!:flag:
