Your opinion who is better who is best?

Just stop. Please.
Morton's vs. Ruth Chris.
You will get many opinions, most of which are subjective. You can go thru life without eating at either one, or in this case, using either brand - and your engine will be just fine.

I think there is opportunity for discussion on the strengths of each brand's line-up, but I recognize that some of this commentary will be subjective.

I do like the molybdenum count in the HPL , is this 100% synthetic? Group 3 or group 4 ?

I’m okay with Saltgrass

1996 Honda Accord, 310K
1999 Toyota Sienna, 460K
2000 Toyota ECHO, 306K
2020 Volkswagen Tiguan, 49K
I will stop if you tell us how you got 49K out of that Tiguan.
Ya think? The OP has no clue what the definition of "better" or "best" is to start with, so any and all comments will be nothing but subjective and conjecture. This is nothing but a useless fishing expedition with no rules and no boundaries and in the end will produce no relevant information.

After 20 years of being on BITOG I will still occasionally entertain these "vs" posts purely out of fun.
Only HPL could tell you and only if they've done internal bench testing against competitor products.
If you're looking for data, Amsoil product data sheets give you a bit more.
If you're looking for engine testing results, which performance claims are based upon, you're looking at the major brand formulations which most all now claim:
10x-20x greater performance on Seq IIIH (excellent)
Amsoil has been around for a long time. Lot of data out there. Proven brand.
HPL is a newer brand that works with one of the greatest minds in lubricant technology and spares no expense on additive and base oil selection.
I've seen excellent extended drain UOA's on Mobil 1, Amsoil and HPL (more recently). The TBN retention of HPL appears quite good even when the drain intervals are greatly extended beyond normal OEM recommendations.
Final opinion: inconclusive
LOL

One way is by using an oil that carries approvals that conclusively demonstrate the performance of the oil. Not by a useless wonderment of which one is "better" or "best".
Another just plain stupid thread.
I think this sums up the sincerity of your question.
Define "better" and "best".
Whatever happened to user Garak and his call for a motor oil taste test?

You can’t make long runs in that new truck due to fuel dilution - so I don’t see where either of these great lubricants will do anything for you …
