Amsoil Signature Series & GF-7

[buster]

90 Hours is about 5400 minutes so we could do a 1-year test, 5400 minutes divided by 15 is 360, so 360 days. Run the engine for 15 minutes, shut it off and start the test 24 hours later, and compare the results to this 90-hour test! Amsoil has been around since 1972, so I think they have time to do a test like this.

They run an F-150 Raptor on a simulator machine for real world testing. Plus they have contracts with fleets and own OAI.

"Signature Series 5W-30 100% Synthetic Motor Oil was installed in a 2025 Ford* F-150 Raptor* and run through a 125,000-mile test. Oil changes were performed at 25,000-mile intervals, and power sweeps were performed before and after the 125,000-mile test protocol."

Yes, let's just turn a 4-day test into a 365 day test.

I did say 360, but we will go with 365! 5 days to look at the results!

Very easy to work around making it nearly 100x longer,

Is this by days or hours?

and also having it occupy test equipment that entire time, preventing it being used for other tests.

I think you really need to understand what is going on with the Amsoil tests, the only 1 will tell is Pablo! LOL

Is 15 minutes even going to completely heat soak the engine? Why would I want to run a 15 minute test every day? Whats the purpose? It’s inefficient and time wasting unless there are actual metrics we are chasing.

Probably Not!

? Why would I want to run a 15 minute test every day? Whats the purpose?

Because it takes me 7.5 minutes to drive to the Refreshment store and 7.5 minutes to drive back home!
