Message	I would worry that these tests are highly questionable due to the various viscosity ratings of the oils tested. Especially considering that at room temperature the first number is the working viscosity, for example 10w-40 is rated at a viscosity of 10 when cold and 40 when at regular operating temperature. So if you start to see a little bit of a trend with the viscosity and the results. The Mobile 1 they tested was a 0W-40... so at room temperature in their pan it is providing a viscosity of 0?

But not full conclusive test IMHO. - MixManMash 13:10:41 04/03/07 2nd on Amsoil (n/m) - yobobrox 13:39:48 04/03/07 Yeah! PLUS Who sponsored this article? - eriksu9 15:48:24 04/03/07 The article looks to be Australian - Technomancer 08:48:25 04/04/07 Yeah, it kinda makes you wonder... - eriksu9 09:05:31 04/04/07 Well, in the absence of fraud, some data is often better - Technomancer 09:17:02 04/04/07 Yeah but says nothing about what they do to gaskets. - Loki_D_Wolf 13:11:54 04/03/07 No test corruption due to variation in viscosity ratings? - MaxD 14:31:07 04/03/07 Great idea... what it really shows clearly is the benefit - CaliguyPurdue (redesigning) 14:50:42 04/03/07 No Amsoil in the tests?? Also tests are not run at - AZHeat 15:08:27 04/03/07 What are you going to do about it? - ni[X]it 18:22:16 04/03/07 lol (n/m) - aliaZ 19:51:32 04/03/07 Maybe he'll ask for donated oil to test (n/m) - SeedyROM 19:54:58 04/03/07 how original (n/m) - AZHeat 20:59:31 04/03/07 Go back and read the article more carefully - Technomancer 08:50:12 04/04/07 Thanks for the info but, Like others have said. Room temp? (n/m) - Chase86(WV) 15:23:12 04/03/07
