                       Being a licensed distributor, I will leave my opinion out of this post as requested.

                       I'd just like to help you with getting that info you are looking for. I have always said, don't trust me or
                       anyone else that distributes either AMSOIL or Mobil 1. Do the research yourself from engineering
                       institutes/databases in your area.

                       When you say that you can't find the info you are looking for on AMSOIL's site. What info are you
                       looking for? Is this the kind of info you are looking for?

                       TYPICAL TECHNICAL PROPERTIES

Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C cSt (ASTM D445)	10.1	10.3
Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C cSt (ASTM D445)	58.4	64.0
Viscosity Index (ASTM D2270)	160	148
CCS Viscosity cP @ (°C) (ASTM D2602)	2320 (-25)	2300 (-20)

Fire Point °C (°F) (ASTM D92)	248 (478)	248 (478)
Pour Point °C (°F) (ASTM D97)	-51 (-60)	-48 (-54)
Noack Volatility % weight loss (g/100g) (DIN 51581)	7.1	7.0

                       Sorry about the formatting. BTW, it was on their site. There is both the 5w-30 and the 10w-30 info in
                       here.
