Snake oil, any way you look at it.
Show some PROOF of these claims. I don't want to read what you regurgitate from some pamphlet.
How many of these so-called Amsoil/Amway experts have a P.E. behind their names or have credentials from the ASME or API? I'm going to guess ZERO.
Your day with the FTC will come.
More reading from Amway/Amsoil propaganda. ALL HAIL THE PORCELAIN GOD OF AMSOIL/AMWAY!!!!!!rs-turbo said:Okay, I see this is going to get nasty....
Now who is talking about ignorance? Explain to us then why European cars are driving 10K between changes. Explain to us why GM developed their oil monitor system and says you can drive longer than 3K using it. Explain to us why Mercedes had to pay out money to consumers when they started promoting extended drains in some of their cars a few years ago, but neglected to say they had to use synthetic to achieve those intervals safely. Explain why the automotive edited David McFall of one of the lubrication industry's technical magazines, Lubes-n-Greases, who also once was working with the API, wrote several articles about the 3000 mile drain standard saying that Americans were being "shackled" into this belief. Explain to us why Mobil oil has released their own line of extended drain oils, are they simply trying to "lower" themselves to snake oil salesman as well? Explain to us why Allison transmissions offers an extended warranty ONLY if you put synthetic into their transmission. Explain to us why Ford started using synthetic in the rear end when they found the ABS sensors would burn out from heat using a petroleum product. Apparently all these companies must be mistaken, or are also trying to sell a bill of goods to the public. Mercedes did a lot of "selling" then by replacing all those engines.... Saying this is all Amsoil hype, isn't an explanation, especially since most everything above doesn't involve Amsoil at all...unless you consider that it was Amsoil who has held these beliefs all along.
I guess so. Sorry you wasted all that time and money. There are other ways to learn about lubrication other than thinking all us Dealers just read some flawed Amsoil pamphlet. The gentleman I spoke about earlier did not take these courses through Amsoil, these were professional courses that he took on his own because of his interest in this type of knowledge and technology and I believe was his field when he was in the Navy working with Nuclear Submarines long before he ever became an Amsoil Dealer. Do you have a specific question about any of those above mentioned studies? I'll have him answer them then.
Yes, I am really surprised about this too. They have been in business since the early 70s and have always been a small company in comparison to the other companies. Any major brand could have squashed them and their "false" claims out of existance years ago. Especially since Amsoil "claims" they compare to other products and shows them in a bad light. I would think these companies would get upset and do something about it. There must be a reason why they don't. And I'm also surprised the FTC hasn't attacked them yet either. They have slapped Slick 50, Motor Up, Prolong, and all those other "snake oils" with false claims, wonder why they haven't done Amsoil. They've had plenty of time. Yes, your question pluzzles me too. Perhaps you could explain why none of this has happened to us as well.
