It's just marketing.

AMSOil has always been in the marketing business. That's NOT a compliment by the way. FRAM is a king at marketing.

Go back under your AMSOil rock.

Can you tell anything by just looking at the oil? I always feel there is a lot of crud in my Mobil 1 after 3-4k, but I guess that's subjective. How much does an analysis cost? I really would like to see 3 more years out of the 'tour, so I've really started treating her very nicely, especially since this is my third engine...

ummm sure I can see through the sarcasm demon you don't need to point it out to me.Remember mobil 1 is all about marketing too. I see more mobil 1 propaganda then I see amsoil/redline oils etc in magazines and TV.

But anyways considering you have yet to show actually documented proof that mobil 1 is better then Amsoil I can't believe you one bit. So how about this show me a test between the 2 that proves once and for all that Mobil 1 is better then Amsoil and all the other synthetic oils out there like Mobil 1 claims they are.

The neptune spacebars test was not at all conclusive in the results. So please shut me up.....and make me eat my words. I myself would like to see real world proof from an outside source other then amsoil/mobil 1. I think everyone would like to see tests and proof, otherwise what are you baising your info off of?

I think the problem is they can't find anyone willing to put amsoil in their engine for the tests..

I did notice the price of a 5 quart jug of the regular stuff was $19.95 while the "new" stuff was like $23 or so.

Check it regularly and change it when it gets dirty,
i've found that even with a 99% filtration oil filter
i still need to change my moble 1 or castrol syntec oil every 3 thousand miles or so.
