I think that one thing we can gleen from all of this data is that either oil would do well for an extended change interval of 10,000 miles or less. The re-test of Mobil 1 will give a better idea of wear characteristics, but it does appear to be more durable than the Amsoil.
I do wonder what kind of friction reduction each oil offers. Is one more 'slick' than the other? That would be some useful info, although I'm dubious if it would be any significant difference - in the lab or on the track...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read far enough through the thread. Can't wait to see how the Mobil 1 holds up again.

To Amsoil's credit, wear metals remain in check, but we will soon see whether that was really thanks to the oil or just to engine break-in. We'll start posting detailed analysis in the coming weeks.

The one thing that the testers said multiple times was how accurate was the test? Mobil 1 was tested on a new motor in the summer. Amsoil was tested on that same motor after the fact in colder weather. I myself would like to see the follow up test with mobil 1 again.
if you reexamine the dates of the samples you will find that both oils were tested for approximately one year. you will also find they are retesting mobil 1.

Next up: is it true that Mobil 1 was handicapped by an engine still breaking in? We find out!
Reread my post I said it myself I would like to see the results from the retest of the Mobil 1

I don't go off arguing points of fact I can't prove with hard data or scientific proof because that just is not logical. I also don't argue using biased marketing theory and strategy.
And how do you know for a fact that Amsoil is biased in there testing?
And Mobil 1 doesn't skew it's tests. They are ballsy enough to say that they're #1 in synthetics. That to me is very shady.

Now arguing theory is different because it is just that. A theory or scientific hypothesis. If you don't bring up ideas like that for round table discussion then nothing gets settled or hashed out. Then many parties can discuss & back their theory against each other and many times all the parties involved have many of their points by correct even if the overall theories are opposing.
If one was not confident in their own thinking then they could not do their ideas justice. Just because one is confident in their intelligence and thinking does not make them "holier-than-thou" 
Then why must you act holier than thou?

I've personaly run amsoil in my tow rig and in my mystique. I run both engine oil and the tranny fluid and am happy with the results from both.
