[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 13805348, member: 112023"] Amsoil Signature is $7.85 per bottle if you are a preferred cusstomer. Motorcraft 5W-20 Semi-syn is $4.37 per quart, when purchased induvidually. The 5 quart jug is about $18.00, reducing the price to ~$3.60 per quart. Motorcraft Semi-Syn blend is the most common used, when compared to their full syn version. Even the full syn version of MC is cheap hydrocracked petroleum, not a true synthetic PAO\Ester formulation. Look for a new test of Mobil 1 EP 5W-30 and Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30 vs. Amsoil Signature 5W-30 in a day or so. Since Mobil 1 is also "Visom" hydrocracked, you can compare them head to head. Both lubricants were brand new in the bottle. You can hear the seals break on the bottles when Jody (ShadyNinja) opened them. Amsoil is naturally a dark amber color in virgin form. Motorcraft is a lighter golden color. That being said, used oil was not tested here. Assuming Motorcraft is more refined due to color is ludicrous. I assure you, despite your assumption of transparency, Motorcraft has far more contaminants in the formulation than Amsoil Signature. Motorcraft will not "cling" to metal parts better than Amsoil, since it contains no ester base oils (group V). Ester base oils give the formulation "clinging" properties. Amsoil signature does contains percentages of Ester base oils to achieve such results, and one reason why people report a quieter engine when using them. When you stop your engine, motorcraft will completely flow back to the oil pan, with the exception of pooling due to gravity. This was also debunked in another video, which can be found here.
