Ok, question ( actually more than one) After years of using Mobil1 & Mobil1 filters, I'm taking a serious look at Amzoil, specifically the Signature Series 0W-20 , the OEM 0W-20 and the Amzoil filter. My concern is that the Signature Series is not API Certified, the OEM does have the API sunburst and is SN/SN Plus rated, but, according to their website doesn't really compare to the Signature. Assuming that I choose the Signature and the Amzoil filter (which is undeniably better than the Mobil1 filter) what are the ramifications with warranty using an obviously superior, but non-API certified oil?. Is it mostly hype or is the Amzoil Signature substantially better than the Mobil1 EP? The filter is obviously made by the same vendor as the Amsoil, but the Amzoil is full synthetic media whereas the M1 is semi-synthetc. So please, convince me that the Signature 0W-20 and a Amzoil filter will really make a meaningful difference in engine life. I'm still planning on 7500-10K max intervals, or annually. Anyone have an informed opinion? I'd really appreciate it.
