Based on your logic I can put Amsoil in my engine and run 30 lbs of boost on stock internals because you've never seen an engine blow up with Amsoil. Anecdotal stories are not much to go on. Most people have figured out change your oil regularly, keep it topped up and use a synthetic. Other than that you are arguing infinte details that just don't matter. I have no idea how people can say their mileage increased/decreased with any certainty unless the conditions are strictly controlled which is not possible in normal driving conditions. (Elevation, air density, moisture, presure, throttle input, road conditions, etc, etc, etc - there are too many variables and the results are not repeatable which means they are unreliable).
Okay, then go use a worse performing oil in your car. What do I care?

Why must you come on here and insult me just because I have awesome luck with a product. Just because people have good luck with something, why does that have to have anything to do with Amway? Nobody is selling you anything. Go on and keep using your unproven oils. I would rather use Amsoil at 30 lbs of boost than s-hit oil like Mobile 1 or Royal Purple.

Right on - please post videos of your car running 30lbs of boost with Amsoil - should be entertaining and an excellent promotional video. Who knows maybe you can get sponsored by Amsoil

I'm not trying to insult you - I'm just calling you out on bold statements with no facts. You insult yourself when you make statements like Mobill 1 and Royal Purple being unproven oils or engines not blowing up because of the motor oil used. Oil is for lubrication and preventing parts wear - blowing engines up is from overstressing parts - two very different things.
