I've noticed that wherever oil is talked about you'll find a good percentage of Amsoil freaks. BITOG is no exception. Pablo of course does an admirable job supporting the product he sells, and there are lots of posters who seem very dedicated to the stuff.
So my question is, quite simply, what is it about Amsoil that generates this level of loyalty? Or more to the point, what objective performance related superiority can be demonstrated for Amsoil above other good synthetics?
Seems Amsoil makes mostly Group IV oils but also has some Group III or GrpIII/GrpIV products? I see a clear advantage for Redline, if you want to find the "best" oil, as everybody seems to agree that the Group V base stocks are exceptional especially when it comes to cleanliness. Also whenever I read a Redline UOA I'm impressed by what looks like a very beefy mass of additives.
Not the case when I look at Amsoil UOAs, and it seems to me the UOAs themselves don't come out particularly great on average.
Also again there are lots of good synth oils with good add packs, much more available than Amsoil.
So what is it about Amsoil? Is there some secret advantage I haven't come across? Am I missing something? Or is it just a good all-around package that just seems to work well for those who use it?
