[QUOTE="SVTDice, post: 13202988, member: 97629"] Always love the Amsoil threads. They've got a propaganda arm that would have made the Nazis jealous. For some reason, all of the Amsoil threads you see on here and other sites have a group of old members making a thread followed by a bunch of Amsoil supporters who have recently signed up. Odd isn't it? [COLOR="Red"]Honestly, I've been using Amsoil for a few years now and I could not be happier. There's a reason new members are signing up for the preferred customer accounts. Its a solid deal for me anyways. [/COLOR] FWIW. Amsoil has always tried to strong arm their way into the performance scene. That's why real engine builders who have been around for a long time don't use their shit. It got old having the Amsoil guy coming by the shop every day(over the last few decades) telling you how shitty the lubes you've been using on your engines are compared to their wonder lubes.:lol1: [COLOR="red"]Nobody ever said they are "Wonder lubes" they have thousands of UOA's, independent tests, lab results, proving its a solid and fantastic performing oil.
