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.

I would like to see these reports...please post or i call BS!
It's funny you say Mobil is superior, but in all test done by many labs, mobil was the worst synthetic oil with the most "scaring" on engine parts.Many companies tested it and they all say they would rather run Havoline Synthetic, which tested very high and is a very good oil, then Mobil anyday.
And your reports better not sound like that stupid Mobil commercial with the benz.....laboratory test my ass, how can you test and grade your own oil?Just ridiculous.
Also, Amsoil also states by testing that their gear box lube(75-140w) increases gas mileage by 4.75% or something very close to tha tnumber on the bottle.
