I thought this was interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Yup...I agree, nothing special, but isn't their OE series an economy line? Vs the signature or hdeo lines?
Yes, but for an "economy line", this presents no value to the customer. It's cheap for Amsoil, but still expensive for motor oil. It's a cash grab, in hopes that people get all starry eyed at the brand and nothing else.I agree, nothing special, but isn't their OE series an economy line? Vs the signature or hdeo lines?
I'd not consider Amsoil's OE line to be a "boutique oil." It's little, if anything, more than any off-the-shelf API oil.Amsoil's OE line is priced similar to what you'd pay for API licensed Royal Purple at WalMart. It's a very good oil and not priced offensively higher than other API licensed oils. I recently bought a 4 gallon case for a total of $118.88 which included my local 7% sales tax. That's $7.43 a quart, $32.15 per 5 quart and actually several dollars lower than I'd pay for any other premium quality boutique oil. It's within $5 of what I'd pay at WalMart for Mobil-1 or Pennzoil per oil change.
I do wish the PQIA had published the NOACK of the OE oil.
It's my understanding that this is an oil that's been rebranded from another manufacturer in the same manner Red Line did with their lower-tier oil, and what many other companies do as well. Perhaps @Pablo can confirm this, or say otherwise.Surprised it has no Boron in the add pack; Amsoil oils usually all have some.
