Re: Re: amsoil
Amsoil is not a "bad" oil, but it is hardly the best and it is very overpriced.
We (SR Racing) did some oil testing (dyno) with a couple other labs. (Lubrication Sciences). By far, for typical internal cumbustion engine use Mobile One was superior. All other name brand synthetics were very good. (As was Amsoil) However Amsoil was rated suspect due to the fact that their blends varied significantly in batch to batch. (Never failing any tests, but a real indication of lack of quality control over contract vendors). It was assumed this was the case due to them often using short term contracts with their blenders. (No, they do NOT make their own oils. <g>)
Combined with the fact Amsoil uses very suspect advertising methods, has more salesman than customers and makes false claims re: several fleet tests that we followed up on. (They NEVER occured.), we simply wouldn't recommend it. It is however, more than adequate oil for your street car.
