B.S.
So have your friend challenge the tech guy. He didn't say M1.
What exactly was the question?
This is baiting if you ask me. Sure all the M1 lovers will jump on this. This is NOT "typical Amsoil BS", it's a an answer to a question I haven't seen.
PS Where are Castrol's answers?, Pennzoil's? Mobil's?

Pablo, no need to get worked up. This site is a way to cut through all BS from ALL oil companies..Mobil/Amsoil included.
Believe me, all oil companies have there share of BS as you stated. Amsoil does a nice job by providing a lot of data on there web page and I like that. Mobil probably wouldn't have even responded. The guy is BSing though you have to admitt. Or like you said, he wasn't refering to M1.

It would be logical assumption that he was referring to Mobil 1. Why would Amsoil bother talking about anything but synthetics when comparing their oil to another?
As to Pablo's not so rhetorical question, I'd rather have NO answers from an oil company than marketing BS.

Any decent oil only has group 6.
Nein, Muß irgendein anständiges Öl Deutsche Gruppen Sechs ist!

Buster - what WAS the question? I'm not too worked up. Exxon/Mobil does use group 1,2,3,4 and 5 through their extensive line of lubes and oils around the world.
What I get from reading MSDS's and data sheets that I can find online, Mobil One and Amsoil are both appox 80% PAO, the other 20% additives and Esters for seal swell. Amsoil doesn't own a refinery so they buy their base PAO's from one of the major oil companies. What turns me off against Amsoil is their marketing gimmick (MLM). If you become a preferred customer you get 20% off catalog price after you pay them 20 bucks a year. I wonder what the profit margin is for the "independent dealers".
The question was something like, does Mobil 1 SS use similar base stocks to Amsoil. Guys, it really doesnt matter. Sometimes I think I should refrain from posting these questions. I just thought maybe Amsoil new something we didn't about the base oils being they can test things and find out what others are really doing.
Buster PLEASE keep posting such things -ALL I ask is; if someone posts an answer from any company, the verbatim question should be posted as well.
I asked:
"Is the sun hot?"
The answer from the phone jockey:
"It's relative"

As with any MLM product, you just have to sell your *** off. You sign people up and hope they sell it as well so you can get a tiny cut of their sales. Successful MLM people already have established networks of friends or colleagues into the whole MLM system. My boss is big into MLM and has pitched me Dri-Wash, some website hosting place and even some recipe exchange deal. He is successful because he knows a bunch of people that will buy into the system without thought since they know a bunch of people…etc.
If anything, Amsoil or any MLM in general is a good way to cut back on taxes. You start a business, lose money for three years and claim losses against you taxable income for each year. Meanwhile, you make a couple of bucks selling a product to friends and family.
Not a good idea IMHO unless you enjoy peddling stuff to friends and family.
Shouldn't that read losing friends and pissing off family?

ExxonMobil might use Gr-3 base oil in their Mobil DriveClean Blend products...it all sounds like an inexact answer to an inexact question.quote:
