| Message: | Amsoil is a relabeled Mobil 1 oil. they state the fact that they were the 1st synthetic oil maker company and also the only company who's oil does not contain any petroleum. The selling strategy is weird, certainly not a normal business method. The incentives and rebates are always tricky and a way to bag money from a dealer who forgets to fill this or that form. Also at the end the product is not much more then a mobil 1 but advertised at a higher price. Most dealer will not discount the product which is fine, but the whole thing looks like a well developed sales pitch for a product that isn't extraordinary. But the statements I have heard and tests and reading all suggests that the oil is actually pretty good. so I'm a bit paused at this. I look at this in a business man point of view - I sell redline fluids normally when premium fluid is required. Since the amsoil is as good as redline (there is always a person who will contest this but after reading so much, it is pretty close) and I can make more money on Amsoil then redline, I will promote it. Also Redline does not help me with catalogs and easy ordering system, Amsoil does. Since Amsoil product line is also wider, it will help me fill some of the orders I could not from redline. One brand and one name is better then 3-4. My main reason for the post was to see if anybody with more lubrication knowledge then me (not that hard) could actually shed some light on the zinc and other missing additives. I do sell oil to a shop where the young car is a 1972 Corvette, their customers have many 1910's 1920s cars as well. We already had to change many engine components due to the lead-free gasoline, but this could again open a can of worms. If older cars starts to loose their lifters and camshafts, the oil will be pointed 1st.  1997 BMW 840CiA 1990 BMW Z1 2002 Astro Van AWD 2003 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Package 2007 Mazda CX9 AWD 1998 Yamaha Blaster+Breeze 1995 850CSI CD00177 (SOLD) | ||||
