They can claim credits, and they have the facilities to actually measure the difference. It does save us money, just not a giant pile or anything. Heck, think of it this way. Even if you used Red Line at regular price for one year for your oil changes, and the next year switched to the cheapest approved lube you could find. Would your total money spent on the vehicle, including oil, gas, repairs, insurance, washes, and so forth really change much? It could wind up being almost unnoticeable in the final total.
camrydriver111: I'm sure they use error bars in their testing. But, when they have multi-million dollar labs to test these things, they can obtain results we can't replicate in the real world.
