Anyone running this oil?

I have a few thousand on it in my 850. First time I've actually used a 0W-30 in this engine. So far consumption is nil and engine is smooth and revs nice.

Curious - why do you call SSO ashless?

Probably because thats what Amsoil says.

I looked at the bottle and didn't see that statement.It's not on the web product page nor the data sheet that I can see. I know the oil isn't completely ashless, but does contain some new ashless AW & FM adds.

So I went looking for that statement and I found it in the October press release and basically verified that I am correct.

Supplemented with a proprietary ashless antiwear system for improved heat and viscosity control and boasting a 10 percent increase in TBN (13.2)...

"Supplemented" being the key word. The oil is not ashless. Where did you find that statement? Better tell Amsoil.

Came from Amsoil info

I guess they (and buster) are saying it "contains" ashless AW additives. Yes, I did see that in the Fall sales meeting stuff.

I was just curious. Looks like it will be a very good oil.

I missundertook your thread title, I though you were saying it's a truly (fully) ashless antiwear add pack. So I'm saying it isn't but does have some new ashless AW additives as Amsoil clearly says.

Yes - it'll be great to see this oil studied and used.
