As plummaxse states, the XL-7500 uses Group III basestocks (similar to Castrol Syntec), whereas AMSOIL ASL 5w-30 uses more expensive Group IV, PAO basestocks and a more robust additive package. The XL-5000 line of products are of very high quality and are marketed primarily for the qyuck-lube industry and for those who don't drive a lot of miles and who still want a premium product...the products are competitively priced, high quality, API Certified, and carry a drain interval consistent with the OEM recommendation (which is good for the QL industry so they keep customers coming back for more). I have used AMSOIL XL-7500 5w-20 in our Honda van for the past two years with great results...
