"My point is, Honda's are darn near indestructible and it doesn't matter what oil you use in it." You got that right. My neighbor has a foreman that has been beat to death by him and his ham fisted kids. It purrs like a kitten and he has never changed the oil in it for the three years I have...

Too slick, Amsoil list AIO as meeting both jaso fc and rcw3 specs on its website unless it has changed it in the last week. Amsoil 100:1 is listed as being jaso fc, but not iso egd(the toughest standard). I would never run amsoil two stroke racing oil in anything but a high reving, highly loaded...

Andy h, I will try to clarify. TCW3 fluids must be ashless to meet the tcw3spec. This is regardless of base oils. Jaso fc and iso egd oils must be low ash. It matters not if they are a full synthetic or not. The temperature that dispersant work at is the key here. ashless dispersant will not...

Not really suprising as the Cummins is a hell of a good motor.

Andy, in your post you are makeing the assumption that all certs are performance based. They are not. Many such as tcw3 spec the type of additives that must be used to be certified. In the case of tcw3 this is a ashless package. Jaso fc on the other hand specs a low as additive chemistry...

The reason I inquired Mola was because this is the base mobil uses in its MX2T two stroke oil. I was wondering about the properties from that angle.

The Belray and Maxima products are marketed as motor cycle oils so why would they try to meet any auto(API) specs.

This is what I have been saying all along and I am glad Bob brought it up. The Moss act does not protect you if you are using products that are not certified for the application by the oem. That being said Amsoil does make some good products and some that are only average. They are not the be...

What is available?

"Transporting Jet Fuel and Gasoline in the same tanker sounds like a way to get cross-contamination." Does it really matter when they pump diesel and gas through pipelines back to back? Ever wonder why your gas has a yellowish tinge to it and leaves a yellow residue in clear plastic? Diesel fuel...

"Hey ben, I remember reading about a fishing lodge that exclusivley uses Amsoil, So what does that mean??" I know most of the operators in Ontario will use the cheapest tcw3 oil they can get there hands on. I use injex because it is very high quality and is reasonable. This is because the oils...

"Same goes for the ATF, they came out with a Universal ATF" Another amsoil scam. The claim there universal ATF meets chrysler atf4, mercon, merconv and everyother spec under the sun when experts (George from this board for one) say this is impossible. If amsoil would cut out the misleading...

"TCW-3 oils are a compromise formula designed with environmental impact considerations first and foremost. If you run a high performance, high RPM or high-load 2-cycle application and you do not HAVE to run TCW-3, you should not. You will have better luck (engine durability) with a high...

O Boy, i got the amsoil zelots in a uproar. A oil must be TCW3 certified for warranty puposes. Notice I said certified, not meets. By amsoil saying that one oil meets both tcW3 and iso egd/TC(on there website) specs they are lieing as it is imposible to do with one formulation. This is fact pure...

TCW3 fluids must use ashless additive packages. ISO EGD/TC fluids must use low ash additve packages. Therefor counter to what scamsoil says it is impossible to be compatible with both specs. Amsoil isnt certified by iso or the nmma fwiw. So in effect your warranty is null and void by the oem if...
