You should just just skipped over all of the whining and just looked for his results like I did.

Sorry but any company that after many years of claiming to have the best oil product you can get that has distribution worse then Mary Kay doesn't get my business. The local dealer at the track near me is homeless and lives in his truck. How can a company support a customer base like that.
I use motul products.

It would appear that at some point in the fall of 2013, we'll learn whether changing your oil twice in the first 15k mile with insanely expense synthetic oil is worth it.
I guess the joke is on me.

Here is my first oil analysis report. It was based on an oil sample taken at the very first INDICATOR LIGHT. I am not basing my changes by mileage but instead the indicator.
Oil used was Amsoil ASM OW-20. Filter was NAPA PLATINUM (SAME AS AMSOIL). This was the sample from one oil change indicator on a very new engine.

For free!?! 
And it happened to some other people? So the freaking rag CAME IN THE OIL!?!?!?! One year of free oil doesn't make up for that by a long shot. I hope this is a misreading on my part, because I like the "idea" of Amsoil. But if they are selling contaminated oil and offer a pittance for the massive damage it causes - well damn..
As for running in a vehicle, I ran it in my last f150 and noticed everything the IP was claiming, better mileage, quieter operation etc.

I guess you have no mechanical knowledge at all....a snowmobile is a 2 stroke motor that burns approx 500ml of oil every tank. You do not change the oil you burn it. So you go through ALOT. I run am soil in my snowmobile, I go through about 8 to 10 gallons a year. At 40 bucks a gallon.....think about it.

After running amsnotoil in my sleds and amsoil costing me 1 bottom end and 1 top end in 2 years I switched back to Polaris synthetic blend and have not had an issue since.
I understand that comparing 4 stroke oil/trans and dif oil too amsoil interceptor which is a 2 stroke oil is not a fair comparison by any means, but after researching more about amsoil interceptor and finding out that numerous people have had engine issues resulting in dry cranks/bearing/rings with no lubrication on them.
Like I said it's not fair to compare 2 products that are entirely different but I will never run amsoil products after they market a product that is that poor. Just food for thought
Here are some other peoples opinions on interceptor http://www.hardcoresledder.com/forum...20-amsoil.html
