It's a scam. I drained all mine out.
Now I have NO leaks.

I have posted independent labs test by many other outfits .
Read those.
I could give one shet less how the oil test go and or your slant that is was biased.
If you have read the other test reports about oils you would really see what and who comes out near the top all the time.
'I am not an Amsoil dealer.
I do know if a company posted bogus reports the big guys would sue them right now
I did look up the oil you suggested to someone here and it rated really well also
I have no horse in the oil race here-buy what you wish.

I think Leah Remini does a "special" on A&E ("Leah Remini, Amsoil and the Aftermath") on Amsoil. Sounds like a scary group to me. I don't think they should be able to hold their members prisoner. I could see how it would be easy to fall in to a group like that, with all their promises of saving the world, but I'm too smart for 'em.

I put up a test by "Sport Rider" it rated a lot of different oils for those that are serious about studying oils
Most people want to be spoon fed and told what to do and how to choose oil rather than read the spectrum on their own.
I NEVER recommend an oil-not my job.
