"I'm still waiting for someone to tell me if there's any difference between the Pennzoil EDGE and the Quaker Horsepower 10W-30 full synthetics." And you'll continue to wait because there are no such products. "I definitely won't be using Amsoil because it's way over-priced uncompetitive despite all the money they save by not advertising." This data shows AMSOILl is competitively priced with lesser oils, and the cost per mile is less with AMSOIL. http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g1971.pdf?zo=1181889 . This is why commercial fleets use AMSOIL. I guess you've missed the AMSOIL commercials on SPEED, NBC and ABC and all the race series sponsorships they have. Their money goes into purchasing the best base oils and additive packages. Not into huge corporate salaries, skyscrapers, stock funds, etc. And that money stays in the good ol' USA and Canada. |

Have you ever seen a written document from BMW stating AMSOIL has caused an oil failure or voided a warranty, or not to use AMSOIL? Call BMW and ask them. Check the BBB website and you will see no warranty issues for AMSOIL, INC., Superior, Wisconsin. AMSOIL sells millions of oil changes a year.

Call BMW and ask them. That's not proving it. You're begging the question trying to have me prove something didn't happen instead of your proving what you claimed.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 08, 2009 5:57 pm) Sure it is. If BMW says AMSOIL has never failed in their engines or voided a warranty, what more do you want? Don't you think if AMSOIL voided a warranty, someone, somewhere would have proof? Did you check the BBB website for any warranty issues?

Replying to: timvipond (Nov 08, 2009 6:03 pm) You need to prove that is the case. Do you have the statement from BMW saying amsoil has never failed in their engines nor been responsible for a voided warranty due to its use? I'm waiting for a statement from BMW to that point.

Just ask BMW if AMSOIL has ever voided a warranty. Pretty simple. You should ask them yourself, since you won't believe me. Did you check the BBB for any AMSOIL warranty issues? How come you won't answer that? No warranty issues are listed.

Replying to: timvipond (Nov 08, 2009 7:05 pm) So, may we please move on so that I don't have to begin removing posts? No one likes to write in disappearing ink. It's a waste of your good time and mine. Mr Shiftright Host PS: Or, if the community feels this topic is exhausted, I can retire it for a while. It's over 8,000 posts, quite an accomplishment.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 08, 2009 7:31 pm) "Amsoil, which claims to be the world’s largest independent marketer of synthetic engine oil, stakes its reputation on longer drain intervals (up to 35,000 miles) and backs it up with a full replacement engine warranty. Moreover, it has done so for three decades without a single proven case of oil-related failure in an engine covered by its warranty. Claims against the warranty have been made but no engine failure, nor any excess wear, has been l directly linked or confirmed to any Amsoil product, the company says."
