Amsoil is over priced shit. 

Evidently you haven’t read the many posting on where and when Amsoil has saved people money, yes saved. I hesitated using evidently figured it may be to advanced literary for you. So for your homework assignment a least read my postings on the benefits of Amsoil. You may, may realize Amsoil is good stuff or not.

Good point but, some people are just not interested in learning anything outside of their comfort zone [emoji6]
And then there are those that love to learn and make changes for the better.

Actually OJ, any oil that can pass the SAE test for SN-plus and is willing to pay GM the licensing fees can 'earn' the Dexos 2 label. 

 

It's a license NOT a specification. Why is this so hard for everyone?

WRONG! Dexos is a GM label and therefore oil companies must pay a licensing fee in order to label their oils Dexos.

Would love to see the math on that, please provide the data requested for said remark, thanks! 

 

Follow up question, does any high performance manufacturer recommend Amsoil products? All I am seeing is Pennzoil, Shell and Mobil. If it is so great, you think manufacturers like Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg and Ferrari aren't recommending it? If anyone would want the best and to last it would be those types of manufacturers.

 

BTW, you ask him to go through your nearly 5,000 posts to find some that pertain to a particular oil brand? Yeah, I am guessing you don't have statistical math to back up your statement. I don't doubt it is good if not one of the best, I just don't believe it is on the pedestal someone make it sound when they are trying to push their pyramid scheme down everyone's throats and recommend it. This sounds similar to what a few people were saying about Bilstein shocks and how good they were...

I’m using it. Made by Warren, like supertech. Specs are good, so I run it. I’ll keep an eye on things in the future, but I don’t see why it would cause an issue. Project farm on YouTube tested it out with good results.

 I saw that test as well, If a person performs oil changes as they should I don't see it being an issue. Not what I use, but as you said, The project Farm test was a fairly good test and the oil would be good enough for most daily driving.

One of my original posting (remember I’m a dealer from the 90s) I stated that in our ROW equipment we were able to double hrs of operation between oil changes. In hydraulics using Amsoil synthetic hydraulic oil we didn’t lose function from our high pressure pumps when a hose failed. Synthetic oil clings to metal reducing friction. Of course someone like you would be a nay sayer and probably don’t need the extreme service Amsoil provides. I’ve seen it, used it save money using it. I really don’t care if you believe it.

So you believe Conventional oil mixed with 100% synthetic additives is similar or better than a 100% (man made) synthetic oil mixed with 100% synthetic additives?

Not to start a debate but....The main reason Amsoil is not required is cause they don’t pay licensing fees to the big oil companies. Look at the test results. Switching from Mobil1 Annual Protection to Amsoil in my engine, I immediately noticed it running smoother. Majority of people don’t like to think outside of the box, I live to learn and investigate all sides, independent tests are all over the Internet. Penzoil “Ultra” Platinum (not: Penzoil Platinum) is made of natural gas which burns like Amsoil but much more expensive then Amsoil.

 

In my industry, I have to devise new ideas and systems in order to keep my clients happy but some clients do not like to think outside of the box, therefore don’t like to change, especially if they’re on budgets. Again, not trying to start a debate but once you look deeper into it you’ll see that car manufacturers and dealerships push large name oil companies cause they’re paying money to use their oil and vise a versus, it’s all about their licensing FEES

 

Corvette has labeled Mobil1 on their oil cap.

Dodge has Penzoil as their official oil.

BMW has Castrol.

 

Amsoil is highly loved by race car builders and race car drivers, especially since they’re paying for it themselves.

So yeah, OP, run the Amazon stuff if you want. Great price and good oil. Not that you hosted another oil debate you didn’t wanna start [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

[mookdoc6]

I had no clue they even had branded "Amazon oil"  I thought the OP meant Amsoil....LOL learn something everyday!

It’s manufactured by a great many companies, due to it’s minimum “basic” requirements, making it optimal for non oil companies to manufacture, heard Target may even get into it as well, put their name on it too. Oh no [emoji2357], more minimum required oil. Wouldn’t doubt it, it’s made the cheapest, conventional oil with additives like Kool-Aid and Lucky-Charms lol
