Gluing the end > caps on eliminates the potential of torn media from crimping. You need to look at that inside of one. It doesn't work that way and as I mentioned, the cap is filled with epoxy. -- "Boy, I've spent my adult life dealing with people like you.

Why would that be? They only tested Mobil 1 10-30. Somewhat meaningless to someone using Amsoil, Redline or Royal Purple. You also say that anecdotal evidence in mostly meaningless, however I suggest that if *you* were the one who got a consistent gain in mileage or track times you would find said evidence far more useful. -- "Boy, I've spent my adult life dealing with people like you.

That's why I'm asking where you got that idea into your head, since there's no evidence to support such a claim. Surely you haven't been listening to the Amsoil dealers!

Surely you haven't been > listening to the Amsoil dealers! No, I don't use Amsoil and never would. My recommendation of synthetic oil is based on using it for 10 years and using conventional oil for 30 years. |
