My recent experience with Amsoil
Are these the same scientists that taught us that dramatic climate change
was a common occurrence in the earth's history? Just who was driving their SUV 10,000 years ago that caused the last one?

My recent experience with Amsoil
There is a funny story about how honest my Dad was.
One time he had to go to Las Vegas on businesss, now Dad was a smoker (and that's why he is no longer with us), and he really liked the ash trays in the hotel room. So when he was packing up to leave he took one of the ash trays. When he got to checkout he told them that he had taken one of their ash trays and wanted to know how much he owed them for it. The clerk was totally flummoxed, no one had ever asked him a question like that. After going back and forth a bit the clerk finally told him to just leave <G>.

And if these so-called "synthetic specialist vendors" don't do the certification tests, how do they know that the oil would pass them?? If the oil manufacturer had the data to prove that the formulation passes the the tests, they'd submit them to have the formulation certified. If "the tests are too expensive", well, ya' takes your chances. "The tests are too expensive" is an incredibly lame excuse that only an idiot would fall for. Amsoil has been pulling this one for years. It's sad that they *still* continue to suck people in. |

It seems like the cheapest base changes all the >time. It is not the cost of certification but the repeated costs of >re-certification that causes this stuff to not be certified. "Recertifying" a tweaked formulation (e.g. changing base oils) is called "read-across", requiring no expensive tests. The procedures are spelled out on the API web site. Once a formulation is certified, the cost of reading across minor changes is virtually zero. Bret Ludwig is right: the certification testing is expensive. But if you don't do it, how do you know your oil will pass? Yep, funny how a little outfit like Swepco can get API certification and Amsoil can't. |
