Just switched to Amsoil

[SilverGlow]

There is no correlation between brands of oil and engine temperature. All your findings are anecdotal at best, and really are not enough to draw any conclusions.

Any college grads out there?!?

Also to the OP: is your tranny automatic? If so there is no need to change out the fluid until 100,000 miles.

Although AMSoil is perhaps the best, it will not cause your engine to last much longer then had you used the cheapest Walmart synthetic oil. With the cheapest synthetic oil, your engine will still last 300,000 miles. In addition, the gains in MPG are 1% to 2% at best.

Also, using AMSoil is only economical if you extend your oil changes to 10,000+ miles or more. Otherwise you are just wasting money and fooling yourself.

Why dont you poll the FORUM for mileage V. oil type and see if there is any statistical correlation? Anyway, us car guys love anecdotes and make our personal car maintenance decisions on our experiences. We dont have time to poll everyone before changing our oil or cheering our Baseball Team. Now that you think of it I should be cheering the Yankees and not the RedSox .... ooops I should have found which team is most loved statistically first. What a dumbass I have been!

You and others come here, read a few opinions from strangers, having no controlled or scientific methods of testing, and then you make draw a conclusion.

You make an UN-INFORMED decision.

Idiots, to be sure.

And no, one does not have to take huge polls to find the truth, but you would not understand this because you act like one that never went to college, took a statistics class, logistics, nor understand how to perform research, how to harmonized desparate information across many sources.

Link? Or just an un-informed conclusion derived from stranger's opinions, uncontrolled and unscientific methods of testing...

UOA of Amsoil Signature Series vs WalMart's cheapest synthetic from the same make/model test vehicles under similar testing conditions, or just more of your "desparate" spewing again?

I think you meant "harmonize disparate".

I wouldn't be touting a college education with word usage like that!

Ha ha the funny hater is back. You want me to swear at you on the forum. Ha HA. Some of my resume': NIASE Master tech, BSME and designer of automotive components for over 25 years; QA/QC Engineering manager at a ISO 9001:2000 certified high end pilot manufacturing plant in the Boston area. Just for giggles, We make the multi-piece hood for the Tesla electric roadster. MODERATOR: Why is this guy still on the forum after breaking all the rules? Bateing, spewing, trolling?
