thanks


its not always in the best of intentions tho....the remarks of a few have soured me on the subject. i dont agree with the marketing strategy either, but it really isnt a bad oil...... ( notice i didnt say it was the best either)

i hate fighting about the oil...i dont mind the bashing of the MLM strategy tho. its when the two get intertwined in the fire that i hop on my steed.....

u guys are a great bunch o guys as long as we dont talk about oil.....

I don't think Ken thinks you are an Amsoil dealer. If he did, you wouldn't have made it anywhere near your current post count.

No. However, I will say that its rare to see an Amsoil thread that doesn't attract at least one. They tend to be like buzzards.

Exactly!!!!

If anybody has taken any of my posts personally, I'm truely sorry!! In no way have I intended to direct my posts towards any person, but I'm totally against ANY MLM company!! I have had friends and family members go into bankruptsy from joining MLM companies, and this is why I'm so adamant against them!!!

Check out these sites for information on MLM companies:

http://www.falseprofits.com/MLM%20Lies.html

http://www.shop-money-time.com/main/id45.html

As far as the quality of Scamsoil products, I agree with Ken, being API ceritified is a good indication of the quality level !!!! I don't buy the cost of API certification, the question to ask is what oil products have been tested for API certification, and FAILED!!!!!!

QUACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point is take your oil discussions to the oil forum. Quit attacking people who don't agree with you. Large font/bold type are considered yelling and bad manners which no one appreciates.

Oil weights not Brands

What is the best oil weight to run in the 6.0psd? I live in DE and travel to PA in the winter. Will synth. 5w40 cover the same or better than regular 15w-40?
