    My oil is better than all of yous guys’ oil. Therefore, when I get about 5,000 miles on it, with I’m willing to sell it for less than that shitty Amazon oil... PM me if interested.

    True...ish. It does contain some highly refined mineral oils as well as synthetic base stocks...but all of the so called syns do. It’s as much a full synthetic as any other full synthetic

    As far as oil is concerned...it’s one of them! Look at the specs it meets...it’s really the only readily available oil that meets the worlds most stringent oil specs. German Castrol does too...but it’s nkt as easy to find.

    Being that it’s a full saps oil though it’s tough on cats should you burn oil

    Yes, because multilevel marketing means that you are by far getting the best quality because the guy selling it is telling you that.

    All phones are made to make calls, and they all do. It's how they go about it and the extras that make a difference to some folks. And the good marketing and the backing, status of say the Iphone gives helps.
    As for vehicles, If you get a midsize truck, they all should last the same if they meet the same load specs and are not exceeded right?
    The thing is, we won't really know till 15-20 years from now who makes the better truck.
    Oils, they all meet the minimum specs, that is as stated. But are they the same really just because they all meet the same specs?

    It meets the same specs, and that is all that matters right? Or is it?

    Most of not all Amsoil in the OE and XL categories carries the API logo now. Also a pyramid scemes and Multi level marketing are NOT the same thing.

    Yes I am a dealer but in two years of dealership I’ve only sold oil to myself. My logic for using Amsoil is that it is a quality oil, comparable in pricing to other equivalent brands, and is a smaller US based business that lately has been really focused on product innovation and being ahead of the curve on new specifications.

    That being said I’ve got two years of dealer oil changes coming up and there is a good chance I’ll just keep doing that for the truck.

    Only thing I got out of that they should change the oil more often How is it that the "sludgy oil" only effected the main bearings? There is not a shot sluge in a valve cover will effect the movement of rocker arms.
