I have the same question also.
As a side note, oil analysis is based on trends, The first one has no trends in it. We used to commonly do oil analysis on aircraft engines, not so much for the oil properties, but for the trends in metallic contamination. Those trends can easily predict bearing, cylinder. etc. failure...........all very important in a vehicle that cannot pull over to the curb when an engine takes a crap......

You don't have to believe me, I personally don't care what you seem to think about amsoil or Polaris (which I am not trying to defend as I own both Polaris and skidoo currently and have no brand bias as I have owned arctic cats, Polaris and skidoos).

Ill say this again. Why would you trust a company that will let anyone that buys like six cases of oil from them become an authorized dealer and represent the interests of that company. So for a few hundred bucks in product I can become the go to guy to sell you a product that protects your engine from melt down and seizing. If you look at their website they actually list guys that have done just that and bought a few cases and sell this stuff sometimes out of their garage.
So you claim to make a superior product to anything available on the market, via comments online, testing vials, some almost famous wannabe racer you gave a few gallons to, and you let anyone with a few hundred dollar investment be a voice for your product to the masses. Sorry I will pass. But good luck to all of the rest of you that choose otherwise.

You can enjoy using other oils, I will continue to enjoy the real benifits of my am soil products.

A friend of mine used amsoil in his sled and the oil had part of an old rag in it.... Got stuck in his oil pump and starved the engine of oil. Blew motor.... Amsoil gave him a years worth of free oil to say sorry. I guess it had happened to some other people.... I think they may have helped him out with the motor rebuild to. Sounds like a good company.
I have used amsoil for over 20 year and never had A problem.

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.
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.

4 stroke sleds have been around for at least 10 years, you moron.
I just love it when an idiot puts his foot in his mouth...lmao
