Amsoil is sold at a cheaper price than most high end oil. the TBN number is so far the highest among all oils that i have viewed so good for long interval drain.a virgin amsoil azo uoa<img src="http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu182/Vteclover/AmsoilAZOVOA.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />note the MPZ & BMC compound. TBN of 12.5im going for amsoil azo on next change coz its cheaper than my current torcojust did checking on torco 5w20 virgin oil analysis, apparently it has way more anti-wear additive than amsoil for people doubting on torco since its not certified, although amsoil has more detergent / cleaning agent compound. number in bracket is amsoil numberMoly 1372 (130)Boron 1 (232)Magnesium 20 (12)Calcium 1712 (3251)Barium 4 (0)Phos 970 an SL oil (652)Zinc 1057 an SL oil (763)Silicone 7 (5)VI 100c 7.46 (10.47)to conclude, if u looking for long drain interval / maintainability get amsoil, but if u like to high rev the engine most of the time torco is the way to go but change the oil every often</blockquote>
