If you are going to run synthetic oil, you as well may run Amsoil

Why would anyone even WANT to run that Amsoil crap. It's NOT certified, it's MORE expensive than any other premium synthetic oil, and it's NO better than any other premium synthetic engine oil. You are just one of the gullible types who have bought into and swallowed hook line and sinker Amsoil's carefully concocted hype. Sure it's good oil, but it's no better than anything else that costs less that works just as well.

It's just pretty sad that you're so thoroughly > Mike Roma>> Cooking oil has about the same certification for use in an engine as

Manufacturers warranties do.

Further most other specialist synthetics are

Shall I read to you the API seal on my bottle of Mobil 1?

Yep. From Amsoil's warranty at

"In cases where the OEM warranty is still in effect and that warranty coverage is denied based on the use of an AMSOIL lubricant, the customer shall immediately notify AMSOIL INC. and provide a written copy of the OEM warranty denial. "

"Sure, it's good oil".... My point exactly.

I am not indoctrinated. I point out facts. I don't necessarily recommend synthetic oil and if you can get a better oil cheaper you should. Buy on price and quality.....it happens that sometimes Amsoil might be the cheapest in its class. Other true specialist synthetics are no cheaper. Mobil 1 is a consumer product. They have another synthetic that is better, but mor money and not widely distributed, I think.

In other words, the advanced student ticket. When you get your ATP you can brag.

Now we are back to a reasonably on topic discussion. Spam is one of the things in my survival kit in the jeepster.

PP-ASEL is the advanced student ticket. Even when I was a kid you couldn't rent anything bigger than a Skyhawk until you had your commercial and instrument.

Jerry, there are signs that one should just stop feeding the trolls. This one isn't in my kill file yet, because I want to see the ads for that Amsoil/Deutz dealership.

I can hardly wait to hear what you think about Sport Pilot...

Getting rid of the third class medical is its only advantage, and that should have been done a long time ago. People with waiverable conditions or prohibited ones whom the states allow to drive a noncommercial motor vehicle are a far greater threat to the lives and properties of others if impaired while driving a car than flying a LIGHT aircraft. (The Hawker Hunter that demolished a house the other day is not a light aircraft: it was a 16,000 lb bomb, and yes pilots of those should meet airline medical standards.)

Better yet: Since a "light aircraft" is 12,500 pounds, declare an "ultralight" to be 1250 lbs under Part 103.

Glad you asked, thanks.

So you must remain, unlike this newsgroup, Spamless! ;-)

Oh that is good. LOL!

Not entirely true, but then most MLM's try to make sure the type of folks who swallow their marketing campaigns never figure this out.

So how much does this certification costs? How does that compare to the income of Amsoil compared to specialty oil manufacturers of similar or smaller size that DO offer certified oils?

Which particular high end audio equipment are you claiming is *NOT* UL certified? Not that this irrelevant hand waving has squat to do with Amsoil's lack of certification-but would like to challenge your bogus claim here.

Bret Ludwig proclaimed:

I'd prefer an intact engine myself, and knowing that it is so trivially easy to determine the oil used from a very tiny drop of oil should the manufacturer have reason to wonder why a particular oil related failure occurred--would prefer to simply buy a superior and cheaper oil that IS certified.

Essentially Jerry he is just full of sh*t. Uncertified, synthetic, sh*t would be my guess.
