Amsoil signature series? What’s the scoop and hype?

A lot of unsubstantiated claims here. AMSOIL does not and will not say what is in their products and their flagship signature series oil carries no actual API/ILSAC or dexos1 certifications. You have to entirely trust them. No thanks.
Guess that’s a good point you make, I think at the end of the day Mobil 1 is the oil to go with for the price and quality. That extended performance formula looks impressive
 
I've been using Amsoil in all of my vehicles since 2015. I put it in everything from a hellcat to my to my wife's RAV4. I also trust Amsoil enough to run their Dominator oil in my $27k 565 drag racing engine.

Amsoil makes a quality product, regardless of what the haters say. I always find it amusing when people say it's a pyramid scheme.
 
We have numerous BITOG Darlings. Please name the one of BITOG's Darlings that allegedly stuck your rings.
Why bother? Formulas have changed so much even in just the past 7-10 years that those oils are not representative of today’s offerings.

It’s like the folks who remember “that problem with Quaker State in the 70’s that caused my grandmomma’s cousin’s uncle’s wife twice removed to lose the engine in her ‘66 Riviera” and still equate that to the level of quality that QS delivers today.
 
Interesting, how does it look impressive to youWell, for starters almost every product they make is API/ILSAC/Dexos certified plus meets most manufacturers requirements.

Many thousands have and still do put their trust in Amsoil's products, obviously without issues.
Key word being trust. Just about every bottle on Walmart’s shelf has been independently tested to back their claims and ensure manufacturer requirements are met. No so with AMSOIL SS.

And yet it still meets the specs of those certifications and won't void warranties for using it. There are much better hills to die on than this one.

The person selling you the product says it meets spec. That anyone would pay $13/qt for something that has no official certifications just shows the power of marketing.

I got the impression at 7:13 yesterday that she's used it primarily from 5k to 117k.
So it's really not a bother and I PM'ed Glenda this late afternoon.

If a label that oil companies need to spend millions to put on their bottle gives you the warm and fuzzies, that's fine, but that doesn't mean an oil isn't good. Some people are fine putting cheap $5/qt supertech in their car, I'm not one of those people.

Those $15/qt oils are there for a reason. Do you really think people in motor sports give a **** about an API certification? No, they don't, and neither should people that want to go the extra mile in caring for their vehicles.

You sound like an AMSOIL marketer. That’s what they will tell you, but then ask why does their OE line have an actual API SP cert. Why did they spend MILLIONS 🙄 on getting the OE line certified? They will tell you it’s for the bulk oil market. Yeah right. Never heard of a lube shop buying AMSOIL. They are shady. Period.
