i'm using 10-40 Amsoil and everything seems to be ok

Can you find their kinematic specs to compare? Why 10-40? I would try 0-40 or 5-30 for the B if oil consumption wasn't an issue ;)

This month i'm going to use 10W40 Amsoil in my motor. I hope i won't regret it... :roll: By the way, does anyone knows if ENEOS is going to produce fully synthetic 10W40, by the end of the year?

As for this you have to watch their site! Speaking of ENEOS i came across a US seller of ENEOS. Their price is very good.

Just out of curiosity give a call to learn Greek prices for this oil.

Are they better from Amsoil? Is it safe to use them on my B16A2? I mean 0-40?
