Lol..... if it weren't for the idiots like Andy Amsoil would have went bankrupt years ago. The people who are buying amsoil are likely the same people who make the lottery such a success.

I don't gamble. I use only proven things, based on science.

First you attack wikipedia, then you quote it. BUT, if you click on the superscripted [1] by the quote, you'll see that it was entered by, (can you guess?. . .)

"Ed Newman is Marketing Manager for AMSOIL INC."

That's like asking Famous Amos who makes the best cookies in the world!

I'm not here to slam or praise Amsoil, but if you want to lend a little credence to your statements, you need to quote someone besides your own marketing manager.

And yet you not only blindly believe everything on spamsoils web site but also think we should believe it. That doesn't sound very scientific to me.

You'd probably be better off to pick a different group to spam your oil on 'cause I don't see anyone here buying your garbage.

I'm sure independant research wouldn't to you. I mean you still get the name of the company wrong. Maybe you should actualy read the test information, it's not like Amsoil's site is the only source of information.

That's because it's not garbage, no matter how much you think it is.

Doing a google search on you, seems your always picking fights in newsgroups.

Looks like Andy called for reinforcements from headquarters.

Please give us some examples of the scientific tests that show that Amsoil is any better than the other synthetic oils, with links.

MOTUL was sold in Europe, not the US, at first. Why would they bother with an API-rating? API standards for *American* Petroleum Institute. I never claimed that MOTUL sold oil in the US.

I cant give you a scientific test to show it, but I can give you a real life test to prove it. in 1988 I bought a ford superduty diesel. the body shop next to me bought the sister truck to use as a wrecker. both trucks were identical. both trucks had banks turbos put on them within

500 miles of purchase, within 1 week of each other. the first thing the body shop did was drop the oil, and put in amsoil synthetic. they were an amsoil dealer, and swore by it. I put valvoline all fleet plus in mine. by 1992, both trucks had about 45,000 miles on them. I did nothing but change my oil every 3,000 miles. they went with the amsoil recommended 5,000 mile oil change, and had to replace 4 turbos and 2 engines, due to lack of oiling. in late 92, they stopped selling amsoil, and switched to 5,000 mile oil changes using all fleet plus, and have not had any engine problems in 275,000 miles now.

oops, I just realized you wanted proof that spamsoil was good, not that it was garbage.

The last page of the PDF just shows the Amsoil logo. The second from the last page shows a list of the test methodology. The third from the last page shows a notorized affidavit signed by an Amsoil employee in their home county in Wisconsin, note, they spelled Amsoil [Asmoil] wrong. Nothing independent here. Certainly nothing to support anything other than Amsoil hyping their own overpriced product.

"Where you'll find this comment from a Mr. Childers; Here we are at our first sample in the Mobil 1 re-test. Nothing unusual so far. It sure is nice to have a smooth-running engine again! The extra vibration from the over-thick Amsoil was getting annoying."

Nothing independent? Now I know people are just fighting for the sake of fighting. No matter how much proof there is, you just don't see anything but your own "proof"

Reply to

No, nothing. A paper authored by a company employee notarized in that companies home county hardly qualifies as anything other than self serving.

You have yet to provide any proof.

Fox guarding the hen house have any meaning to you?

BTW, why did you snip my reply to your second link, the one where the comment was made that the engine runs better and doesn't have an annoying vibration now that the Amsoil has been replaced with Mobil1?

Lastly, any legitimate professional mechanic can access pictures and text on i-ATN posted by the owner of Continental Imports in Gainsville Florida of a late model BMW that was sludged up from the owner using Amsoil. Clearly, this oil is not all it's made out to be and survives only by virtue of the brainwashing techniques its promoters use on hapless dupes such as yourself.

A single test doesn't prove anything.

Again a single test doesn't prove anything. Now, a comparison between identical fleets, that would be getting somewhere.

I have provided plenty.

Going to post a link, or is this just more Amsoil bashing? Anyone that knows anything about oil knows that synthetic oils no matter what brand can't cause sludge, because the dont contain any wax.

A tow truck is under far greater stress than a non-tow truck is. You say they went with the 5,000 mile oil change that Amsoil recomends...well sorry, but Amsoil doesn't make an oil where they specify a 5,000 mile oil chanage.

That said, your probably just making the whole thing up trying to make Amsoil look bad an boost your ego.
