Amsoil is no better than any other modern, diesel rated oil. They just have a more questionable marketing scheme! With the exception of the PD engines from...
Tests show Amsoil to be far superior to Castrol and any flavor Mobil 1 has. I don't JUST want my engine "Running Strong" (which is an opinion not knowing...
Can't have NO WEAR. Physically impossible. I suppose those tests on the oils were run by Amsoil? I will drop this because we don't need to fall into to an...
