It gets very good reviews by the oil guru's in the Internal section.

I use Mobil 1, 5w-30...however,I've heard that Amsoil is the only true synthetic anymore--none of it coming from crude stocks.

OBX - I'm not sure if the 5w30 is German made... but... Here is a better pic.

The big giveaway is the lack of the "energy conserving" words in the bottom of that "API SERVICE" seal/label there.
