Yep! I heard of it...... Not a well known oil in my area but the specs are right up there with the other "boutique oils" some of the KIA dealers in my area use it. I would use it along with a quality oil filter.
I am a huge fan of Amsoil and have been using the Synthetic Oil in all my vehicles for over 30 years...... Not to get into a "oil debate" but I feel "IF" you use a well made QUALITY oil filter and change your oil as per the recommended oil manufacturers specs you will be OK.
Amsoil 100% Synthetic SIGNATURE motor oil for me with their Ea oil filters and change the oil at 9-10k. miles. The Signature oil is pricey but I feel it is worth it.
