From a Pro

"When you can put that many dyno pulls on an engine and
you take it apart and it looks like it's barely got three
dyno pulls on it, you know the oil is just fantastic."

Talking about the oil he uses, Amsoil.

"Looks like" isn't a scientific measurement with details of particles per million. The human eye isn't that good.

It's hard to get excited about any motor oil when almost all motor oils are so good these days.

Amsoil has become the Jehovah's Witnesses of motor oils... STEP AWAY FROM THE DOOR!

... or the Amway of motor oils. It's good stuff, the original automotive synthetic afaik, but it's far from the only one these days. I think it's Amway style "multilevel marketing" scheme turns off a lot of people ... it has me having be buttonholed numerous times by "true believers".

And true believers are usually on the payroll or otherwise compensated. The company executive leadership looks pretty dull with family connections. They got their start by other's ideas and marketed it to the auto industry.

I sacrifice a live chicken at every oil change and I've never had an oil related failure.

Chicken works.

It is indisputable.

I think your right. Someone came to the door the other day and said the same thing.
