You're right, $6/qt is way too much considering that Redline and Royal Purple cost $2-3 more than that if you can get a deal on them. $6 for a quart of full synthetic doesn't sound too bad to me when you have to search to find a bottle of petroleum oil for under $2.
Amsoil must think the API certification is important, because they recommend their only 2 API certified oil products for vehicle manufacturer warranty reasons.
Warranty reasons are probably the only reasons they bothered certifying those two products. Those two products probably account for 75% of their automotive sales. If I bought a new car and knew the dealer would screw me if I had an engine problem because my oil of choice was not certified I would change oils to better insure myself against that happening. Instead of losing those customers, they certified their most popular products. That certainly sounds like a mystery to me.
They also try to deceive you into believing that ALL their oil products are API certified.......they even have API CJ-4 on the bottle label
for their DEO diesel oil, and it IS NOT API certified at all!!!
You mean like how you are trying to deceive us by printing lies and half truths about a reputable company? None of their non-certified products say or imply that they are certified. Saying API CJ-4 on the bottle means it meets that specification and has nothing to do with certification. The ONLY thing that identifies an oil as certified is using one of the two API certification labels on the bottle. But I'm sure since you are such an authority on this topic you already knew that and just chose not to mention it so you could twist your argument to slander Amsoil.
So, why would you buy products at such outrageous prices from a company like this????
A company like what?
Do you work for one of their competitors? It's obvious that you have some sort of personal vendetta against Amsoil. That being the case I'm going to bow out of this conversation. It isn't worth the effort with someone that seeks to do nothing but spread fertilizer.
