Seriously, don't you see the funny side ?

Nano technology is a powerful thing. It was proven on a British document called Red Dwarf to be able to regenerate a spaceship and its crew centuries later. Quite impressive.
1 chicken Vindaloo please.

laughable that thy dispelled the one armed bandit test in a period where they were advocating and justifying the 4 ball as appropriate for engine oils.
That was the first thing that came to mind. LOL

With all due respect, I think it's the fact that it is primarily one poster (you) who has taken the initiative to steadily plug Amsoil's marketing material in the PCMO section. Some of it has already been discussed in the past (like this video) and you seem particularly inclined to get incensed when the thread doesn't become and echo chamber of praise.
If you are going to steadily advocate for one brand in this manner, I would expect pushback similar to what Burla has experienced with his "Redline cures ED and Ebola", and he wasn't anywhere near as committed as you appear to be in "sharing information" via the new thread mechanism.
There's nothing wrong with being a fan of a particular brand, but there's a not-so-fine line between moderate advocacy and full-on fanboyism/cheerleading/shilling.

I don't believe in marketing material. I believe in the real world performance of the product. And if you look at used oil analysis and/or use AMSOIL products yourself they are high quality and perform as advertised or better.

Not surprising. They use zinc as an additive in Head and Shoulders.

"Amsoil has always, always, always struck me as the over promoted, over marketed, and over the top in general. Their sales and marketing effort turns me away from ever considering using them.
Why do they have to come across so arrogant, deceitful, and holier than thou? Don't they know that drives people to their competitors?
A little class and a little restraint would go such a long way to improve their image."
Have to justify the over priced stuff somehow. Plus there are lots of gullible consumers out there to
keep the income flowing.
A good product but the competition has caught up with out the bamboozling .
My 2¢

Pretty much this. I'm sure Amsoil is a very good product, but the marketing shtick turns me off...

I shared information they have available as I stumble on it and then certain members here make it their mission to trash the brand and in the case of this thread post unrelated information like the 4-ball wear test when this had nothing to do about it.
Am I passionate about Amsoil sure, does it give everyone the right to trash the brand based on their own beliefs no it doesn't. Especially when I didn't start the thread with something along the lines of "Amsoil is the bestest ever and nothing else compares". And considering if you go back through my posts you will see I regularly recommend shelf oils where folks aren't looking to use Amsoil. Heck I even said I would use shelf oils except the reasons I've stated numerous times before about convenience and the fact that I'm not paying for them.

Yup and if they had the M1 or Sopus name attached they would be all the rage here but there is just something taboo about Boutique oils and specifically Amsoil so they look for any reason to discredit it.
Yet it's ok for M1 to do their Annual Protection blanket statement and that is accepted but Amsoil doing their marketing is all of a sudden questionable and turns users off from using it. It's ridiculous and biased. But whatever. Their loss. Those of us using it know it's truly capable of what they claim. used oil analysis here back that up as well as high mileage engines here as well.

Ebolla, I bet they could, I will have to look into that
Actually, maybe you are aware of this but it isn't Burla saying as much by himself, but several other people as well, and it wasn't ebolla but a ticking condition in the engine. And in all seriousness, the OP's post might evem hint to WHY, which you seam to care less about as opposed to attacking my credibility. You see with the one arm bandit what happens with extended medium pressure, which is what most guys are seeing with redline and hemi tick as noted several times in this forum and the hemi forum. As in guess what, moly is doing in the one arm bandit test exactly what it is doing the hemi;s, reducing friction. You can go back, there is another thread not by me that bothered to take two video's so you can not only read about it but hear it. Or just take the low hanging fruit like you are doing and take pop shots at me, whatever.
Seams like you and a few others want to hang it on viscosity, but that isn't what's happening, it isn't a viscosity thing. Find out the WHY, and you can take out that cus word redline and duplicate the success with whatever in the formula is the why. Oddly enough we may have part of the answer from this thread, and consequently AMSOIL Signature Series did boost their moly formula in their new oil.
I wouldn't know, but the moly study posted in the PCMO thread had a very interesting outcome. It suggested the sweet spot for moly was 200 to 700ppm, which I do realize is quite a stretch, but it wasn't my test. I will say, the science looked pretty solid and absolute, the rub was it was not TN moly that was tested.
