If Amsoil is so good, why isn't it sold at retail stores?
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
It is. I buy mine a Salvo Auto Parts in Maryland.
&nbsp\\;
I saw at Salvo and it is a lot more expensive than Mobile One.&nbsp\\; An oil that is actually certified.&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;
API certifies motor oil if it meets certain standards of quality and had the vicosity and performance levels.&nbsp\\; Amsoil doesn't make the grade.&nbsp\\; But people will give you a bunch of BS stories why it doesn't make it.&nbsp\\; But most of them are selling the stuff so why believe them?&nbsp\\; I think that is why the whole pyramid scheme exists.&nbsp\\; Anytime someone trys to debunk the snake oil you have 50 people chiming in on how great the stuff is.&nbsp\\; (Of course they are all selling it)

Amsoil is Api certitfied. Api is by the way a voluntary cerification any oil can be Api certified visit www.api.org/certifications/engineoil

Let me correct myself only some of Amsoil is api certified. As with Mobil 1 also not all of their oil is Api certified. Being that the Phosphorus levels in the oils that are 100% synthetic are to low to meet Api certification.
