Default 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?

Default 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.

"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.

No argument from me... when they act like snake oil salesman I have
to conclude that is what they are selling. MLM is also a turnoff.
