Sorry man.. I dunno if that is really Fully Synthetic.. think about it logically.. why would anyone sell a full synthetic 4.4L jug for 17 bucks..
I run Amps oil only.. everything from the full synthetic to oil filter.. and when I drove it off.. I swear it has never felt so good.. not even when it was new.
I haven't done a full oil change for 10000km now.. because I've been trying out something my mechanic said.. and its true.. AMPs oil.. as long as you keep it topped off.. you could probably run it for 15 - 20k easy. I just checked my oil last week.. and the colour was still GOOD!.. other synthetic brands that claim "full synthetic" turned black when I changed the oil at every 5000km. And for anyone who is questioning this just as how I did before... BMWs require an oil change at every 20k km now.. the standards have changed depending on the type of oil you use
