Amsoil Signature Series vs. Heavy Duty

[johnmyster]

You've been here since 2015 and you are asking this? Those are silly questions, facetious or disingenuous perhaps. You even imply Amsoil doesn't test.

Amsoil simply knows what the specifications are, tests above and beyond the specs. It's not that difficult to understand.

Certification really doesn't matter before warranty expires, if the oil meets the specifications. Plenty of the threads on this as well.

But think of all the Rotella skeptic 5w-40 Ford PSD customers Amsoil would have if they would submit for the certification they already know they would (hypothetically) pass. This is a business opportunity for them.

It's possible. But probably not. I've been an Amsoil Dealer for 25+ years, no one has ever asked for any auto oil specification. Never once. The above average consumer even - in the USA doesn't know or care about car manufacturer's oil specifications. Oh some might see API ratings, many will look at SAE viscosity grading. It's a bit sad, frankly in some ways I do wish GQ Public would educate.

I'm not the only person that looks past the grade designation. People that come to you have already committed to buying an amsoil-reccomended-amsoil product, regardless of certifications, because marketed as better has already sold them. Those that care about a cert already know the answer and doesn't bother to call.
