IMO, Amsoil is in a great position to make any claim they want considering XOM will view them as a good customer and not as a competitor …

I looked at new F150's with that dual point recently … the V6 (non turbo) engine did not scare me off … the trucks just were not set up to my liking and wound up with another 5.3L GM truck … both V8's on 0w20 …
