Amsoil 20w-50 Racing for the first time. Only been out one time and my shifter let go but I should have that fixed in the next 1-2 weeks then I'll get to see better, how she runs. First trip out she ran awesome. O/P was good and solid so, so far all's well!

Already I see cold starts much better. That Valvoline is some thick stuff. It took several minutes to get it warmed up enough to idle in gear to launch and usually more than one start. Just setting it up over winter with a blend of Valvoline 40w Racing and Amsoil 15w-40 (what I had left and just wanted to coat everything good, then change it again in spring before running it) it started right up with 2 pumps and one crank then idled with no problem. Besides, the Amsoil 20w-50 Racing smells and looks like cherry syrup!
I'm also using the new Amsoil filter. Used to us the SD's.
