I don't know much about Amsoil but I do know that PPS has really good oil analysis results and is a top grade synthetic. The 5.0 doesn't need Ester or anything like the Z did, so that's what I use. I like Redline, but it's not necessary.
Ah I see. I'll have to do more research on PPS. So you really like the stuff? I bet it's a lot cheaper than Amsoil too.

Hey Steve, on another note, been reading a lot about this infamous 5.0 engine ticking noise... do you have it or have any thoughts on it?
