Validity of the "4-ball" wear test in engine lubes - Bob Is The Oil Guy

Four-Ball wear test: Amsoil versus Red Line - Bob Is The Oil Guy

I don't care what those threads say. I used to use Mobil 1 religiously. I had nothing but oil consumption issues with that oil. After I switched to Amsoil, my oil consumption stopped completely.

My gas mileage went up and I don't have to change this oil but once per year. There's ZERO advantage to using Mobil 1 over Amsoil.

I'm not trying to start any war. I am just trying to un-do the brainwashing that all of you guys have.

You all seem to like oils that have fancy marketing or lots of ads in magazines. That doesn't make an oil perform better. An ASTM machine is like a dynomometer. You and I can bicker about who has the most horsepower all day long, but until both of us drive to the dyno shop and put our cars on that machine, that machine will be the only way of telling you who has the best performance. It's the same deal with the oil.

That's like saying Hyundai's are better than Ferrari's because you see more people buying them than a Ferrari. Sure, Hyundai's are okay cars, but if you wanted a high performing car, wouldn't you rather have the Ferrari instead of the Hyundai, even though you've seen tons of commercials on TV for Hyundai and see their ads in tons of magazines all over? Amsoil is the Ferrari of oils. I've seen enough people switch from Mobil 1 and Royal Purple and seen the performance and cost savings differences.

You guys just need to wake up and stop this brain washing crap from oils from companies who aren't worth their salt.

If you want to race a 1,000 horsepower motor and rebuild the engine on a regular basis, then use Royal Purple. If you drive your Z to work every day like most people do and just want the engine to last and have easy maintenance, then Amsoil is the way to go.

I am broke in this economy. I can't afford overhauls and have to do everything I can to save every penny. I used to spend $70 an oil change for Mobil 1 every few months between buying the oil and having it changed. Now I spend the same on Amsoil, but do it one time per year and I'm done with it.
