check out amsoil i think they have such a product? otherwise i've never seen one it'd be defeating the purpose. a 5w-10w would be same in synthetic most modern equipment runs 10w-30.

I used to buy Amsoil 30wt but since the local dealer has gone I have been using Mobil1 or RedLine 10w30 or 10w40 in my air cooled gas engines.

Hi...


The Amsoil 30 is for diesel engines... will it work in 6,8, 19 HP gas engines OK ?

Currently using Mobil 1 10w-30...

It meets SH, and SJ requirements, so I'd say yes.

why do you want a 30w vs 10w30 for? that's kinda defeating the purpose of having synthetic oil not unless your having burn off or varnishing problems. If it's a kohler engine with hydralic valves you need to stick to 10w30.
