until rebuild etc.

I have a buddy who has done some major oil analysis for top companies.

he swears by amsoil.

he even told me about that little commercial mobil one had with the frying pan next to conventional oil. (the mobil one ran away from the heat on the frying pan)- so they used a diff oil.He even built a motor for testing for them and ran it at 5000 rpms for 120 hours until it blew up. mobil todl him he built the motor incorrectly and thats why it blew. So mobil one built a motor and it blew in less time..

Those stories have stayed with me for a while i dont touch mobil one.

im curious to see what a real world analysis of the other oils out would turn up. just to see if mobil has changed since the inception.

say like
castrol 0w-30
amsoil 0w-30

etc.....

Actually, the filters are rated for a longer life than the oil. - RKA 2006-02-28 08:15:55 (249 views)

You ever try the German Castol 0W-30? Green or gold versions both seem to be pretty good. - BiturboBoy_V2.0_S3-- 2006-02-28 06:40:30 (277 views)

Only Mobil 1 since the first 5k change. I know what to expect with it, and it's fairly - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-28 06:48:33 (246 views)

how much does it cost you for a filter and 7 mobil1 0w-40 - beerock 2006-02-28 15:15:38 (190 views)

After a few UOA's of my own, I've personally decided that 7,500 miles is the right OCI - PaJohn 2006-02-27 23:07:42 (280 views)

Amsoil has too many phosphors. Skip, IMO. - christian (Stage 1) 2006-02-27 20:06:21 (223 views)

to much phosphor reaaaly good info christian ; x - beerock 2006-02-27 22:57:51 (417 views)

Many oil analysis disagree. Amsoil doesn't really live up to it's claims. - christian (Stage 1) 2006-02-27 20:19:13 (262 views)

real world analysis is in the archives (for both of those) - RKA 2006-02-27 19:58:47 (252 views)

who do you use for the analysis? been thinking of starting to do that. - Zold-manS4 2006-02-27 19:18:50 (246 views)

I did it out of curiousity at first. Then, I realized that it may give me advance warning - O.W. Kenobi 2006-02-27 20:12:01 (282 views)
