Naaah, the oil was filled November last year.
It was clean inside until last/this month. I observe oil levels every week so know what is going on under the hood.
I certainly am, my friend. The car is running strong and no problems whatsoever.
I am slowly thinking about stocking the new reformulation for my future oil change, however majority of stock in Europe is still the old stuff - not the reformulated SS.
Anyone started using the new, September 2017 Amsoil SS reformulation (the ones with label saying 75% better protection)? Any feedback? I presume one will not be able to tell any difference in comparison to the previous version.
Your random dude reads Honda's manual.
It says, use Honda 0w-20 oil OR ACEA A3 OR ACEA A5.
Guess what? I am not an Eco driver and refuse to use Honda 0w-20. I would use 0w-20 Amsoil or any other, but none of this oils is compliant with European ACEA standards and I don't want to have...
In ideal world many things you wrote make sense but you are not taking into account:
- oil dilution,
- "heavy duty" use of the car
Your W30 in the new civics will dilute to something around W20 quite fast, any way. 0w-20 - even less.
Other than that, the rest may be valid for US market where...
Nonsense my friend, plenty of distributors in Europe: https://www.amsoil.com/international/distributor/
I buy from the distributor in Germany however the problem is, that they still don't have the latest reformulation from September last year...
Hi guys, I still have this issue every now and then. I changed station to a different location and brand.
No one else having problems like this? Is this fuel related issue?
Anyone could help me out finding a US based Amsoil dealer willing to ship (for reasonable price) to Europe?
It seems Signature Series European stock will be the old mixture for a while, until it is sold out and replenished with updated formula.
I have a feeling that shipping costs will make...
Hi all,
I read there were 2018 map updates for US customers, but I don't see any updates for Europe.
Any updates spotted in Europe, Asia, Australia?
It is about time for those maps to be updated...
Thanks mate.
I don’t think amsoil updated their signature series page with this info, nor I see the fact sheet updated with oil properties?
Is the pancaking different? How do I recognize if the amsoil I am buying is the new formula or old one? I am interested in 0w-30 SS.
Hey mate, very interesting and informative read, thanks for that!
Is the new Amsoil formulation released? I have not seen any notifications in their blog nor any update?
Oil brand has nothing to do with oil dilution - if engine dilutes oil it will do that no matter what you poured in.
Engine oil often gets diluted if one is driving like a pussy :p
Other than that, fuel quality, short trips, engine lugging.
Just saying... :)
Seems that oil quality does not make any difference. Oil minder is tuned for the factory oil and it has no way of figuring out, that you poured full synthetic instead.
