How is wanting an advertiser to back up its claims an issue?
If you're willing to accept Shell's claim that no other oil lubricates or cleans better without seeing some sort of comparison or substantiating data, then I guess you're just more willing to take advertisers at their word than I am. *shrug* I have an awesome set of steak knives if you're interested. They cut through steak like no other steak knives in the whole wide world. Honest.  |
It's a commercial claim. It's up to the consumer to believe it, or research it. You don't research everything you buy do you? Like toothpaste? If the commercial for CREST says the cleanest mouth. Are you going to ask for a commercial to research it?
Maybe you should send a request to Mythbusters to test. "Using expensive oil will keep the engine running longer than cheap oil..."
