simple bottom line,
a $40000 truck,+$5000 in add on gadgets,use $1000 in gas going 5000 miles,,,and chintz on the one thing that keeps it alive,6 qts of ahl.
temp???, in the vast majority of engine run time the temp is determined by the thermostat. they run em hot for a reason. its ez to go cooler,get an old 160 deg. thermo,,,or leave it out. i still dont get the them connection. they run better hotter

I never said that Amsoil wasn't good stuff or that their test were false. But it is possible to pick your tests and your data sets to show the best advantage to your product. The last time I looked at Amsoil tests they showed that Royal Purple was seriously bad stuff in comparison - not sure I'm buying. And BTW, I think that the endorsement of professional race teams is far more convincing than the Amsoil test data. Just my geeky take on it.

Any of you seen a good old fashioned "engine blow" at a car show or drag race? The type where they drain the oil and see how long an engine will run. The last one i saw was at a VW show and that little 1800 cc ran a solid 8 minutes at about 3000 rpm before it blew. Watching an intentional "engine blow" is kind of interesting one time around if you happen upon one.
