OK-no-I have not changed over to Amsoil--yet---running dino oil--in fact--Castrol 20-50W--been using Castrol 'forever'--regular changes-every 3000-inc filter--150k on '89 240 wagon---engine is smooth-relatively tight for 150k--no leaks -no burning oil--here is my latest "concern""-->Saw a post in the BB--somone started using Amsoil in their brick---engine began sounding "clattery"--loose--after change to Amsoil--wasn't that way with dino oil--somone questioned "What viscosity was being used before change to Amsoil??"--So thus my concern-->should I stick to same viscosity I have been using -or go ahead and use the "0-30W" Amsoil that I hear is so great?? *sigh*! Thank you everyone.
