Post by: maverick1975 on May 09, 2008, 06:12:19 AM: yup..definitely enough...you should try to get some 1L bottles to contain the leftover amounts..our latios use approx. 3.5-3.8L per servicing..

New cars or cars less then 3 years old shouldn't have oil that reduce much esp in between our servicing.

Yeah.. I was about to ask that too...

Quite a number of drivers here also use Amsoil too.

Post by: shpesft on May 10, 2008, 07:48:46 AM: I would say it's not as good as Mobil/Shell but confirmed better than FasFlo and whatever mineral oil TCM is using :bleh:
