Hi,

I have heard about Mobil 1 30 weights being 'weak' before. That is part of the reason why I decided to go with Amsoil. I don't know if I can get Mobil 1 0/5/10W40 around here. All I have seen is 5W30, 10W30, and 15W50. I don't know where to get any other weights....... I was planning to use Volvo's recommended change interval (5000 mi) with synthetic mostly because of the added cost of the oil. Is this too long? I, nor my Vo mechanic is aware of anyone who does oil analysis around here so that is kind of out of the question. I thought my engine was safe with Amsoil 10W30 in it, but now I'm not so sure. What about if I used Amsoil 10W40? Hmmmmmm.....I'm not sure what to do. I know one thing though; I don't like those sounds comming from my engine! Oh, I'm also not aware of a place where I can get Redline. It may not be available here......
