To be honest
I’m not sure I’d know where to buy it if I wanted to
Redline doesn’t show this product on their website

Those are relabeled Phillips 66 products.
Why even mention these products if you are concerned about the Amsoil oil properties?
Just info sir Don’t get excited
If you’ve need seen these products how do you know there just relabeled ???? Chill out

I work in the lubrication/tribology industry, so I get this intense shivery sensation when analyzing lubes.
OkI work in the lubrication/tribology industry, so I get this intense shivery sensation when analyzing lubes.
Number one is putting much any faith in a $25 analysis - it is not one up or one down.
Number Two is large margin of error for metal spectroanalysis in fact P is amazingly close on the two. Most are quite close actually.
The one thing that should be repeatable is viscosity. Looks like Blackstone missed the mark. Amsoil typical is 11, so 10.7 is fairly close, under 10 seems off.

there is such a thing as slight blending variance's that may happen to every blender/manufacture of lubricants, long as the required parameters and specifications are met, nothing to be overly concerned about. and analysis labs can and do vary some , just will give you a good general accuracy of a idea in most cases of your needs.
True. We notice, for example, that Schaeffer doesn't list a single number for viscosity. They list a small range.
Is that just the limits of the grade? Most blenders list typical values which are meant to show it falls within the limits.
No. They list the range within which their product (is intended to?) falls. Here is an example from one of their 5W30 products:
Viscosity @ 40C, cSt (ASTM D445) 62.0-71.0
Viscosity @ 100C, cSt (ASTM D445) 11.0-12.49
EDIT: Here is a link to the spec sheet I took those numbers from:

Viscosity @ 40C, cSt (ASTM D445) 62.0-71.0
Viscosity @ 100C, cSt (ASTM D445) 11.0-12.49

I don't know what you expect to see.
Typ LL/olm style product, a little high overbase, wouldn't not run this high detergency if not running it out 10K + miles.
Also not on a D.I gasohol engine.
That;s just me(?) biased against LL unless spec or need.

It’s was nothing more than a comparison between BlackStone and Lake Speed testing to see the difference in real world testing
You got to see the numbers for free
So take it at face value and pick whichever you like
