Additionally...I have tested both Castrol and Amsoil in a NZE and CS3 and I can tell you with the Amsoil both engines operate cooler and quieter than with Castrol
there's a stock internals, high comp. turbocharged engine churning out > 300whp for over a year now running Castrol GTX religiously
I think I'll take that proof over your 'tests'
kthxbai.
excellent post but do you feel that your engine will run cooler and thus have prolonged life or increased performance if you use Amsoil? In addition, do you share the view that you will save more money if you switch to Amsoil?

The longer it stays in there with my short distance, idle-in-traffic, stop-n-go driving, the more chance of sludge buildup because of course for any given volume of oil, it can really only hold so much debris in suspension for so long. Almost twice the price, for it to remain in your engine almost three times as long, no thanks
Gimme a good quality oil at a good price price and I'll change it every 4000km as normal and engine flush every other oil change. It'll ease my mind.

Ofcourse, some of us love to talk about evidence in here so for the benefit of those of us who don't know, please someone show me an engine using Amsoil synthetic motor oil that lasted longer than an engine using Castrol GTX being serviced as scheduled once every 4,800kms.
btw nes......$63./qt you say? Where you got that price from? I saw this from GEAR HEAD , he has them from $76.-$90./ qt.
A172 wrote:um pal, the turbocharged engine I'm referring to is in a daily driver racking up mucho km's daily so your point in comparing it to economy engines is moot
2yrs on a stock high compression bamboo engine putting down over 300whp needing a ring job after 2 years of everyday driving and racing? even if that was the case, i don't think that's too bad, no?
don't worry, i know you tryna rate up de Amsoil any way possible to make it seem 'superior' and 'everyone will be better off buying it' compared to other conventional oils....but some people tend to rely on this thing for peace of mind......y'know......experience
A172 wrote:so after the facts I've presented....is Castrol GTX inferior to Amsoil?
A172 wrote:man anyone with the interw3bz and into tuning has seen that chart a while now
no-one is disputing that Amsoil has better qualities than other oils asit can clearly seen by the comparison
but if you think it's gonna make your engine last longer and give so much greater performance in your everyday econobox compared to using a cheaper one with proper maintenance....by all means, tell yourself that
good talk

what was distasteful about additonal information sharing?
by al means if your pocket is swollen enough to afford oil changes every 3 mths go right ahead..the 20k km interval is based on if you are running strickly highway and no traffic like I do....I doing 12k km in 1 yr no traffic...so for me it is a savings.....
additionally take your time an read the link I posted prior to your ranting before your ask rhetorical and redundant questions....we on tuner to share information and learn from each other...so please do not be offended in any way...as knowledeable as you may seem at times, you are not always right about everything....these guys make it their business to study oil compositions..this is what pays their bills..who are we to doubt when the proof is their....my example between the CS3 and NZE were just 2 measily self tests...how many of you in here can say you have tested both oils in 2 or more different cars?????....haven't seen anyone in this thread indicate they did..instead we have haters
I have nothing to gain from promoting oil sales...but you all have something to gain from experience...so try the two in your cars then see if your notice a difference

This place really great inno!
