I think they offer it and make money on it because most consumers will not use it fully, and if they do use it, will bring them back for additional service and purchases. Many will never have their tires balanced, rotated and sell their vehicles before they have a flat or the tire strikes an...

1. Link removed. 2. Motorcycle oils are formulated for and tested in motorcycles. Non motorcycle oils are not. The article you referenced is a bit out of date. A newer, more complete report can be found at http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g2156.pdf . Hope this helps. Edit: Please do not post any...

I've never heard of auto-reordering with Amsoil. Has anybody?

If you look at the testing in the report, the Amsoil motorcycle oils seem different than the rest. They don't shear in standard ASTM testing like the others do (except for Torco and Mobil 1 motorcycle oils), they don't allow rust like Castrol and Bel Ray. They don't foam like Mobil 1, Castrol...

I think they are a pretty good deal. I like them for the free tire rotation/balances which cost a lot of money sometimes. They pay for the occasional flat tires I get because I live in a growing area with lots of construction. I've had valve stems go bad and it paid for replacements. Also my son...

G-man - what are the misleading marketing practices you are talking about? The Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau doesn't report any. I don't see any organized consumer groups, oil groups, or vehicle manufacturers complaining. SLM - Many times a bidder will have in his bid...

Report was notorized on March 30th, 2006. I run my motorcycle oil 12,000 miles. There is much more than an oil staying in grade. Look at all the results from 10 ASTM tests and how they varied, including which ones sheared out of grade.

Lot's have people have reported their first fill with Amsoil resulted in oil consumption, and following fills less or none. Some have reasoned that some cleaning is going on, sending particles and soft sludge to the filter, opening up restricted areas, getting more oil to new macro and...

I never predicted doom. It might work, it might not. Who knows how the current bottle coming off the production line will perform in motorcycles since it is not formulated or tested for motorcycles. I just stated "Why take a chance?" To see this oil, visit...

yep. That is their new synthetic. I think they recommend up to 20,000 miles.

API, JASO and ACEA don't seem to have any problem with Amsoil's labeling. Neither does Chevrolet, Harley Davidson, Mercedes Benz, Honda, etc. AMSOIL puts dozens of other companies and oil organizations names on their labels. Nobody has disproved their tests or ratings. They compare their...

Is Syn3 still made by the Hugo Chavez Oil Company (Citco)? Does anybody else find it odd that All American Harley is lubed by Anti American Hugo? Syn 3 doesn't work well in transmissions, but Harley's new transmission oil is supposed to work well. Amsoils MCV works great in transmission, engine...

Norm - The 10W40 Amsoil you are using and having success with is very similar if not still identical to the old same priced Amsoil AMF 10W40 motorcycle oil. Both of these oils meet JASO MA and recommended for motorcycles. The advantage of the new and improved MCF is it now meets GL-1...

The Pennzoil JASO MA motorcycle oil is only $1.92 a quart, and is formulated for and tested in motorcycles. What does 1 quart of whatever Rotella you recommend that is not formulated for, tested in, Non JASO, nor Shell recommended for motorcycles cost? Why take a chance? The Rotella formulation...

Dave Mann's book http://www.motor-oil-engineers.com/Motor%20Oil%20Engineers%20PDF.pdf says "One specific manufacturer, AMSOIL INC., offers a 10W-40 and 20W50 Motorcycle Oil which meets API SG, SL/CF, JASO MA/MA2 and GL-1 Gear Lube Specifications. This is the only oil on the market that meets all...

I've only read a few posts here and the product seems to work for those people. I have two older heat pumps, 1988 and 1990 using R22, that work pretty good, but I've heard Duracool HC refrigerent will make them run cooler, blow cooler air, last longer, sess prone to leak due to larger molecule...

Read this report http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g2156.pdf and pick the one that meets your needs. The Pennzoil motorcycle oil sounds like the one for low cost OEM recommend oil drains. Amsoil would be the one for extended drain intervals.

I think it may depend on the engine. A cool "tight" engine would probably show little consumption and degredation due to Noack volatility. A hot "loose" engine might be more susceptible to consumption and degredation.

I enjoyed all the practice, qualifying and racing over the 3 days at the Indy Grand Prix. The best action was at turn 1 in the first few laps of the races. At the end of the 200 mph straight away, they had to brake hard for a 90 degree turn and only 2 or 3 car turn width. Some spun out, some...

I think fuel additives are occassionally beneficial, especially if you use non Tier-1 gasolines and notice lack of performance or drop in mpg. Techron is one of the better ones. Call Chevron and see what they say about the 5-6 year old additives. The phone number might be on the back of the...
