Almost every company says the same thing in regards to mixing oils and additives.

Doing something like this would be akin to buying some fine, expensive, French champagne, and then mixing in some Mad Dog 20/20.

Just go with the Amsoil and save your money.

If you are trying to say the MD is not as good if not better than high quality champagne, you sir don't understand The Dog and all its subtleties. Nothing like some MD to add a little class.

Not a huge fan of amsoil per marketing but its products work and lucas will work against it. Just use good branded synthetic oil and rest easy.
