The Amsoil site list 0 W20 oil as acceptable for the 2008 Hyundai Accent. Has anyone used it? Is it acceptable?

Thanks,
Rob

If you bring it they'll use it. 0w20 works great, using it now.

Has anyone noticed a lower engine temp?

I just signed up to be a dealer as there is only one in my area. I'll order a case for my car as well as our Dodge van as soon as the paperwork goes through. I just wonder if the local Hyundai dealer will have a problem putting it in my car?

SAE 0W-30 Synthetic Signature Series Oil

Above 0°F......10W-30
Above 19°F......20W-50
All Temps......5W-20

I run 0W30 because I want the best oil AMSOIL offers and the great extaned oil change intervals that come with it. I want to prove that 25,000km oil filter change adn 50,000km oil changes are possible without doing any damage to your car.
