[QUOTE="CCS86, post: 12270797, member: 140595"] That's fine, I'm not trying to sell you on anything, and you're welcome to your own opinion. It doesn't sound like it's based on a solid understanding of oils and machine demands though. You may be content to "keep it simple" by listening to marketing claims, what your buddy said, and the fact that your engine hasn't grenaded after running the oil you chose; but the reality is that it's much more complicated than that. Oil is much improved since the 60's. Likewise, engines place FAR higher demands on an oil. For one, the standard drain interval used to be 3000mi vs 10,000mi. Back then you did not have engines turning 7000 rpm, running 11:1 compression, making over 80 HP / L, very tight tolerances, overhead valvetrains etc. I have run Amsoil for years in my race bikes and have observed far better component longevity than fellow racers on the same equipment. I was tossing that Amsoil out after less than 1000 mi of hard use, so running a top-tier oil in my car for up to 10K+mi and sees road course runs every so often is a no-brainer. [/QUOTE]
