Well OK then you are paying the $20 on top of the price for the oil. If you're also buying UOA kits then that just adds to the cost even more. Isn't the idea of the guaranteed performance of either the Amsoil or the Mobil product that you follow what they claim and the guarantee is your backup?
Ummm...no. I was going to buy the UOA kits anyway, so in my case, you cannot add $20 on top of the oil since the UOA kit was $20 less than Blackstone (who I used to use) and I bought more than one thereby saving $20 each time. Yes, I agree that "the guaranteed performance of either the Amsoil or the Mobil product that you follow what they claim and the guarantee is your backup" SHOULD be true, but I would not recommend that anyone go from a 5K or 10K OCI to a 20K or 25K OCI without at least one UOA at 17K or 18K, but that is just me. As an aside, the UOA kits were for my PSD and not any gasoline vehicle I own.
