Pronostication: The act of predicting favorable results. (1) (1) Eye'm the last person who should be commenting on anyone's spilling, but kudn't pass that up.

That's funny. All three of my dictionaries, not including the one I checked on the internet, doesn't have a "Pronostication". I am familiar with "Prognostication" and I did find that in all four sources. By the way, I wasn't trying to be a smart***. I always look up words I'm not familiar with. If it was a simple typo I wouldn't of mentioned it. I just thought there was a word out there I wasn't familiar with.

The engine was still running in during the MI cycle. So the observation that the wear metals have stabilized during the Amsoil cycle could mean: 1) wear would have stabilized anyway regardless of the oil or, 2) Amsoil provides better protection. Nothing in the data set so far can distinguish between the 2 alternatives. If 3MP's objective is to see how long different oils can hold up, he should continue the test with different oils. If the purpose is to compare wear rates between oils, the next cycle should be M1 again followed by Amsoil.
Amen.

For those out there who have seen the movie "My big fat Greek wedding". "Prognostication" derivers from the widly used greek word prognosis=forecast or prediction. Molacule, i know you are kind enough to forgive some friendly banters.

I am not surpirsed. I knew there ws something screwy with the TBN number. End of the year time limit? While there may be an end of the year time limit, I am sure that people on this board would love to see you continue the test to 18,000 and beyond. I'd like to see how far the Amsoil can go before you reach Mobil 1 wear levels. Then after that I'd love to see how some other oils fare in that engine. Thanks, Don

per the B master Savage:

We also did a Dexsil TBN test, which showed a TBN of 4.0. And -- shhhhh, it's a secret -- we're still waiting on test results from an alternative laboratory. Looks like we can keep on going for a while.
What's the scoop? Any data from the lab yet??? PS 3MP could use some $ donations, folks...!

1ST let me say I have enjoyed reading your well documented tests on Mobil and now Amsoil. Keep up the good work. So I wonder what really happens to a good oil after one year of use. Would it say, turn ugly at 1 year 3 months or what?

3MP has a business to run and doesn't always have time for oil study stuff. [Wink] Got the results informally. Will post on the website once the official results are in. Motorbike is welcome to post the informal results if he wishes, as he has them too. Cheers, 3MP

I can understand your huge amount of time involved. It's not like you can just add the extra hours on to the 24 in a day. The time comes from somewhere.... [Cheers!] Again, thanks. I say e-send/FAX the results to an impartial moderator if you don't have the hours to post.

Many thanks for the great tests being run. It is so refreshing to see all of the test results posted. Looks to me like Amsoil will outlast Mobil 1 over the life of the test. The Amsoil numbers will get even better (TBN and viscosity) when the filter is changed and makeup oil is added. Keep up the good work and keep posting.

I'm pulling for my "Iggles" as Mark would say. We are banged up already. Until TO starts running his mouth at McFlabb for throwing the ball at his ankles or hanging him out to dry across the middle, things should go OK. Kearse is a liability too. Mark , Duce was my favorite Eagle. Did not want to see him go. I'm telling you that guy will give 100% every game and is a great leader. If my team goes down I might actually root for the "Stillers".
