Hey, this is supposed to be a family-friendly forum!
Ginger or Maryanne?
History means a lot to me but so does tech that trusted third parties have checked out. I trust AMSOIL I use AMSOIL.
HPL getting a sign off from Mola and Dave Newton means something to me as although I know a lot more than the average guy, these two are my domain experts I can actually go to and have received solid advice from. This greatly bolsters my trust in HPL.
Relationships are important to me. Pablo is great and helpful, as is David Ward.
David is direct ownership representing his brand, this is always time consuming and risky with people believing they should be able to get absolute answers from you at all times, in this - HPL gives me something AMSOIL does not, direct access to the not just management but ownership, which I will always respect and endeavor never to take advantage of.
David has earned a fair share of my business.

Seems I get bashed a little here for using Amsoil. Not by everyone by any means.
Just a few.
But, it's totally fine. I expected it.
It's just I wanna run the best. Transmissions, differential gears/replacements, engines, aren't
cheap so, I spend a little more doing what I think is best to protect them.
As the old saying goes, "To each his own!"
Have a great Sunday everyone!

Amsoil makes good products. There’s nothing wrong with your decision to use it.

You will get bashed. But stay strong I've heard and read a lot in 23 years. Some people in the past even have gone so far as fabricating false and misleading things about Amsoil. I don't focus on these very few examples - but will refute those as they pop up.
Mainly some people who come along on BITOG will say some fairly outlandish things like 3+ MPG improvements with just motor oil and such. Avoid fiction, stick with fact, you will be just fine.

David of @High Performance Lubricants has earned my business as well. I've been treated with the utmost respect.
Here are two examples, relevant for why they have my business and a lifelong customer. No need to try to paraphrase, I have nothing bad to say about them or their product.

I'm using both. In my wife's CRV I have HPL engine oil and I just did a drain and fill with Amsoil SS ATF. At this point, I don't think you can go wrong with either one unless you choose the wrong product for your application.
As I have stated numerous times before, I am no expert. I'm just an IT guy who is a part time musician. That's where my strenghts lie.
I've been using Amsoil products in all my vehicles for close to 30 years.
I do oil changes by OLM which is usually in the 9k mile range, or 10k miles or one year.
I've never been a "good enough is good enough" type when it comes to my vehicles.
I'm not going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a new vehicle and worry about saving a few dollars a year on oil changes.
That's my $.02. (Worth about $.0045 at current inflation rates.)
*edit-Forgot to add HPL is very tempting.

Nope that’s not it at all.

Excellent post. I feel 100% the same way.
I want 2 point something out here, the next time you go by the OLM and change your oil, take a sample and send it 2 Blackstone and let us know what the TBN is? You might be surprised, and not in a good way!

AMSOIL doesn't have even close to the best ATF. It's decent, but definitively not the best.
You tease. Why hold back?
He has his unproven theories.
That statement is based on…what?
Yes I did , just got back from watching the games today. U got me on this 1, but my come back will be that Amsoil is not in the same league as far as HPL. There is a big difference between what you are getting from Amsoil versus HPL. Maybe I was being kind in what I posted in the thread you quoted.
Anyone reading this can look at the specs of Amsoil versus HPL and make there own choice.
