That's why I posted when I did. The Amsoil's quality questions, and now the dual bypass questions are making me question everything. One thing for sure, there were no weapons of mass destruction hiding in this oil sample.

Pablo, this isn't Fox News. In my book, "fair and balanced" means calling it like you see it. There have been other UOAs posted where bypass filters have been used, and I don't recall any that had numbers this "outstanding."quote:

I know S2k is there "suppsedly" best oil, but I think we've been a little let down with it. This oil is all over the place. The only reason I push Mobil 1 so much is because I've always heard "Mobil 1 is too thin" , "Mobil 1 SS doesn't have enough esters" "Mobil 1 caused my engine to blow up" etc. You know what I see? Mobil 1 does a very good job consistantly. Yet when this oil is bad, it must be the engine.quote:

We're all (presumably) adults here, so we should all be capable of handling a certain amount of "fair and balanced" criticism. I've ragged on Amsoil's series 2000 because from what's been posted on here about it, I can't see where it's all that special—and it's supposed to be Amsoil's "best." I'm more than willing to give ANY oil fair credit when such credit is due. But in the case of series 2000, more criticism seems due than credit.

Well ,i came to this site to avoid amsoil dealers but ....maybe just a dream.
What I mean is that specifically people expect this oil to be miracle oil or something. To go 35,000 miles with ZERO wear if it comes up short in their eyes - watch out. I know Amsoil makes the 35K or one year claim for this oil only and all the other recommended OCI's are way less - but this doesn't mean S2K 0W-30 is their BEST oil. ALL oils have limits. What oils are really better than this oil? A few of Amsoil's? Redline? Royal purple? Haven't seen many oils go past 10K or 15K....and have real low wear metals. Even if you cumulatively sum the wear metals of an the dino oils at 3000 miles over 10K-15K-20K - most often the numbers will be higher than a single crankcase of Amsoil 0W-30.quote:

My oh my, this is the new king of all UOAs! That is simply an incredible report! I wish most Subarus weren't so ugly, cuz they sure put good durable engines in them!
Well, you know what Tacitus said: Omne ignotum pro magnifico. I find these sage words are particularly appropriate at times on this forum.quote:

Everybody here is gangbusters over German Castrol 0W-30. I don't know much about this oil, maybe it's truly the best oil on the planet. But how many analysis' have we seen on this at 10K, 15K, 20K?
Now you've really got me confused. You said the other day that you're an Amsoil dealer but then come up with a comment like that?quote:
