Do NOT make it into a sales pitch for the oil you sell. No one falls for it anyway.
Bill I know you love me!
I have a lady friend with a Hemi Dodge truck post warranty that had engine failure. Using AMSOIL!
She called me broke down on the road 65 miles away, and said a local shop will look to see what it is.
Next morning she calls me again, shop claims complete engine failure, new engine needed. reason? I wrote on the coolant tank date and milage wich was year and 6 months and 30,000 miles ago since last oil change.
Amsoil of course
Shop tech scolded the attractive woman for going so long with out oil change.
She talked with me and had the trucked towed to my place so I could investigate the cause.
I determined the engine was Ok but had valvetrain issue.
Towed to a close friends shop and found a broken valve spring and a bent valve. $500 later my nice lady friend drove away with a working truck 2 days later.
If I had used mineral oil following the manual for OCI, this would of never happened!
I guess I'm getting old because I do not understand your point here. The valve spring broke causing a bent valve. Could have happened with any oil.
This topic should have been about the dealer not finding the problem Vs just telling her she needed a new engine. Am I missing something?
your still young! I am just a lil sarcastic sometimes, you know plenty of haters will find any reason to blame the oil on any type of failure.
