Nope won't work If you want to read go to the web-site hover over why A-oil then select performance testing.Scroll down to the archive, then about half way down is the comparative oil testing. Agin you might find the test interesting.

I think you missed the point of the Hot Rod article, Bob. The results they got are what you would expect to see with any synthetic, not just Amsoil. Seems you're really trying pretty hard to push a particular product, but that's your business.

When I owned my last 2 vettes, I used Mobil 1 like the owners manual said if not voided the warranty. Same as Hell Cats, different oil, but change every 6 months. H/C just uses a different oil. Use it till out of warranty then burn what ever makes your car happy. Mine has been weined on Penz oil and will stay that way. I have an extended warranty. Dooo cause. Fee oil changes,,, right, not free.

The point was not missed. If you would look at the testing data all synthetics are not equal.I'll try to figure out the other test. That showed the effect of oils on Ford timing chains. But take a look i'm always open to debate in fact thats what made America Great in the First place.

Look up the Magnuson Moss Act. No manufacture can make you use a part (oil) unless they provide the part free.https://www.amsoil.com/about/guarantee?zo=5014722. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0138-auto-warranties-routine-maintenance#will. I provided two different links I think. Enjoy

Thanks for all the feedback. I’m really pissed at the dealership and I’m sure when I call they will say it’s a mistype on the invoice, assholes!
What dealership so we can call and complain for you?

I watched dealer put in the right stuff in my Demon 0W-40 Pennzoil. I made a good-natured quip that I'm glad the right oil was in there, and dealership service manager added, "well if we put the wrong stuff in there you would know since an engine error/warning would come on so, given that, that wouldn't be possible"

But which oil is best for non Amsoil dealers?
Except for what the factory recommends. obviously, since that crap can't be any good.

Every oil mfg says they are the best.

Every.

Single.

One.

And they all have a way of supplying the data that helps make their case.

I've done that even when not racing. All it takes is a missed shift.

Amsoil dealers remind me of used car salesmen.
