Mobil 1 verses Amsoil
Anybody ever use amsoil?
I found an interesting page showing head to head tests between Amsoil and Mobil 1's new SuperSyn. It appears the Amsoil blows the SuperSyn away. I have to believe this because I assume Mobil would have a lawsuit at the court the next day if these tests were not true.<ul><li><a href="http://go-synthetic.com/amsoil_vs_mobil1/amsoil_vs_mobil1.html">http://go-synthetic.com/amsoil_vs_mobil1/amsoil_vs_mobil1.html</a</li></ul>

not a blow out
i think amsoil is better, but not a blow out on these tests.
1) volatility (at 250C). mobil-1 passes the limit for the tough acea A3 spec. amsoil was better, but this relates to extended intervals for changes.
2)the 4-ball checks antiwear additives, like zink. If you have a cam wear problem with mobil1, the amsoil would do better. no wear, no need to change.
3)flash point no real issue in normal use.
4)pour point ... amsoil at -60F vs -54F ....I judt don't want to be at those temps. both are lower than most need to deal with.
(interestion history of western sumalta)

Lol. Too bad science isn't taught in school anymore
I love those distorted charts. What are the confidence intervals for each of the measurements? What is the statistical difference? Lol. I would bet that they are identical.

Most likely
too close to call..
Basically any good oil with a good service interval is what you need.
For a road car, even a good dino oil will do.
When you have a severe application, then you need more from your oil.
