It's Magnatec...
Not Magnetic, Magnatech or Magnatic.

Just a pet peeve. Sorry for the rant.
 
I beg to differ.

The most abused oil name is "Mobile"

I suspect that much of the (mis) spelling of Magnatec is from auto-correct.

While "Mobile" comes from the ignorance of the poster...

Auto-correct is one of the world's great evils. Spelling correction has to be done manually, so you can use the correct word in context, and so you can teach the spell checker correctly spelled words words it doesn't recognize. Otherwise you don't get spell checking, instead you get spill chucking.

Humans are adept at recognising the intent of miss-spelled words. Inserting a properly spelled but contextually incorrect word makes reading your texts more difficult than simply miss-spelling in the first place.

Don't lose sight of the goal.

Disagree. Amsoil is a trade name chosen by Mr. Amatuzio; it could just as justifiably be "BananaOil" if that's what they want to call their company or it's products. There is no "theory" behind Trade Names.
 
I've seen photos of the original cans of Amsoil. It was spelled "Amzoil" at first.
