It is an overpriced oil sold by Amway.

Sorry Ranger. That's an urban myth. Amsoil is not now and has never been a part of Amway. The similarity is that they are both pyramid marketing schemes.

I didn't know that. I thought it was an Amway thing too.

If you Wiki it, you'll get more than you ever wanted to know about Amsoil

Well, I stand corrected. Guess I was only half right (It's just overpriced oil).

It's the duck butter additive that runs the price up.

I heard that will be reduced with GF5.

NO WONDER they get nuts when criticized or when someone refutes their products.. Someone once told me that when an individual is defensive or adamant about something there has to be an ulterior motive.... Now I understand Thanks

Even I'll say that Amsoil is pretty good oil, my issues are the network marketing scheme, it's overpriced, and the religious fervor of many of the distributors (apart from technical knowledge) from having drunk the Amsoil Kool-Aid.

I use nothing but Castrol in all my cars and Amsoil in my motorcycle. If you are interested in an incredible additive check out motorkote.com. Its for engine, transmission, powersteering, rear ends. Can use it in 2 strokers anything except wet clutches. Was original made for diesel engines and I deal with diesel engines. Its great stuff.

I've heard of the motorkote. I've read that it is a good product and that it really makes no difference in the engine. Never read anything negative either.

I have read most of the post but not all. Was there ever a final decision if we should stock up on the old Havoline formula (hard to find but still around) because of the extra zdp for the pre 2000 Northstar? Or should we buy the new formula? Seems to me from what I have read the old formula is cheaper and better for our older Northstars. Right?
