Sorry, Kevin, but I'm not taking the bait. I run amsoil series 2000 20w-50 in the GTS. I'm completely satisfied with it. However, I don't put on the mileage like some of you. But I can tell you that when I put the Series 2000 0w-30 in my Saab 9000 (95) the mileage went up about 10%. I put the oil in, and change the filters 2x per year and the oil once--in all of our vehicles. No problems.
