I have a local cummings dealer where I live and have been using it in my VW diesels for years without any problems and will now use it in my PSD I just got. You hear a lot of things, I just go with a proven product.

I use Mytic Super Heavy duty motor oil myself. It has some addtives that are usually only found in expensive syntethetics. Not to mention the fact that it has a lot of ZDDP in it which is good for your cam. I have used lucas before and it is good stuff but its so darned expnsive. Mystick oil anyalisis have been aweseome as well. Great oil and cheap.

Hey Bob, I have a question for you?

There is also a lot of "fine print" in their warranty, like for the warranty to be valid, you have to request it in writing first, and a lot of other unbelieveable stuff!!! Why would anybody risk having to go through that, when they can pay a lot less for many oils which are API certified???
Here is part of the Scamsoil warranty "fine print":
e. In cases where the OEM warranty is still in effect and that warranty coverage is denied based on the use of an AMSOIL lubricant, the customer shall immediately notify AMSOIL INC. and provide a written copy of the OEM warranty denial.
If you happen to be a lawyer, check out the entire warranty from the Scamsoil website:
http://www.amsoil.com/warranty.htm

The reason I feel so strongly against Scamsoil, and any other MLM company, is because I have had friends and family members have to file for bankruptsy due to falling for these company's brainwashing propaganda!!!!
The lack of API certification is enough of a reason not to use the Scamsoil products, but you throw the MLM garbage on top of it, and you should
stay as far away from this company as you can!!!
