That would be helpful. Also, the Amsoil website says this: ---------- Will AMSOIL Moto Oils void the warranty of a new vehicle? Absolutely not! Manufacturers' warranties are based upon the use of oils meeting specific API Service Classifications, for example, SJ/CF. (AMSOIL lubricants meet the current API Service requirements and, thus, are perfectly suited for use in any new vehicle without affecting the validity of the new vehicle warranty.) ----------- Is this wording intended to mislead? Thanks.
