XL 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil
Boosted Protection For Extended Life
Sioux Falls Customers:
In Sioux Falls the 10W-20 is a big seller to several of our fleet customers. People who do a LOT of stop and go like florists, landscapers, plumbers, couriers, heating and refrigeration fleets, and a golf course, use this product as it can be used as a one size fits all. You can run a 10W-30 no problem in cars which call for a 5W-30. The only difference is it’s slightly more in viscosity at start-up. That’s all! But small engines like the higher start-up viscosity so it’s a winning combination. And it’s great in low temperature climates.
Resists Oil Breakdown
XL Synthetic Motor Oil maintains its fluidity (viscosity) under the most extreme conditions. Some oils break down and significantly increase in viscosity after extended periods of high-temperature operation. These changes can cause excessive oil consumption, engine deposits, accelerated wear and difficult cold-starts. The GM Oxidation and Deposit (GMOD) Test consists of a 5.7L V8 engine running at 293ºF (100º hotter than normal) for 100 hours. These severe operating conditions test an oils ability to control viscosity increase, deposits and oil consumption. The testing revealed that AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil provides 64 percent more protection against oil breakdown1 than required by the GM dexos1® Gen 2 specification, ensuring protection in extreme temperatures.

Protects Pistons from Low-Speed Pre-Ignition
XL Synthetic Motor Oil features unique chemistry proven to protect your engine against the harmful effects of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). LSPI is the spontaneous ignition of the fuel/air mixture prior to spark-triggered ignition. Most new engines feature gasoline direct-inject (GDI), often coupled with a turbocharger. These technologies heighten the possibility of LSPI events, which can destroy pistons and connecting rods. A properly formulated motor oil is critical for protecting your engine against LSPI.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like GM have addressed the issue by designing tests to determine a motor oil’s ability to prevent LSPI. XL Synthetic Motor Oil achieved 100 percent protection against LSPI2 – zero occurrences were recorded throughout five consecutive tests.

I use this in my 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Z-71. It’s been a great product. Living in cold temps, and usually making short trips, this fits the profile my truck needs.

I have been using this oil in my present 2012 Honda Pilot since I bought it and is excellent oil. I also used it in my 2000 Acura TL for about 4 years before I sold it. Never an issue with oil problems using this oil..
