Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / July 2004Oils....
There has been a thread recently on AMSOIL. What are the thoughts of Royal Purple. Would there be any dramatic difference in using that synthetic over Mobil 1 ? Cheers None... why pay more?

Just my own personal opinion... Bob 64 72 76 79 & 95 Corvettes . My two cents ? Mobil one has been around the longest and has by far the most experience with the number of cars running it. GM, Bentley and others all recommend it and I have never seen a test report comparing it to Amsoil or any other oil that has much difference in the end result. So why fix something that is not broken ? I ran Mobile 1 from day one in my old 79 RX7 and ran it hard, when it needed a new rotor seal at 367,000 miles the place that did the rebuild said it looked more like a engine with 50K miles. That was good enough for me, every car since has been Mobile One with no problems. My 2 cents on the issue.

Mobil tried to copy AMSOIL's lead several years later. > I have never seen a test report comparing it to Amsoil or any other oil >that has much difference in the end result Well Tedd, I have the test results you have not seen yet. Here you go - High Temperature/High Shear (ASTM D-4683) The High Temperature/High Shear Test measures a lubricant's viscosity under severe high temperature and shear conditions that resemble highly-loaded journal bearings in fired internal combustion engines. In order to prevent bearing wear, it is important for a lubricant to maintain its protective viscosity under severe operating conditions. The minimum High Temperature/High Shear viscosity for a 30 weight oil is 2.9 cP. As shown in the graph, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil surpasses this minimum standard and displayed the highest High Temperature/High Shear viscosity in the group. The superior viscosity retention of AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil in the face of severe temperature and shear conditions allows it to provide continuous, unsurpassed protection for engine bearings, extending equipment life and preventing wear. 10W-30 Viscosity AMSOIL -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------3.51 cP Quaker State Peak Performance -----------------------------3.37 Castrol GTX Drive Hard --------------------------------------3.35 Valvoline Syn Power ---------------------------------3.30 Mobil 1 Super Syn Power -------------------------3.30 Valvoline ----------------------------------------------3.28 Mobil Drive Clean -----------------------------3.20 Pennzoil with Purebase ----------------3.16 Quaker State Synthetic --------------3.15 Pennzoil Synthetic -------------------3.14 Castrol Syntec ----------------------3.13 March 2003 test results I have many other test results I can snail mail you if you would like. There are significant differences amongst the differing synthetic oils on the market, with some, (like AMSOIL), offering definite performance and cost savings over other brands.

Thirty two years and it hasn't caught on yet, better stick with the patent medicine. SignatureDad 04 C5 CE Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd > Thirty two years and it hasn't caught on yet, better stick with the patent > medicine. Greenwood racing Vettes, Higgins Vette Mechanics, and others of that ilk use AMSoil exclusively. I've changed, will not go back to Mobil 1. Joel Jacobs 300,000 miles in C4s, 40,000+ miles in C5s Well thanks for the corrections as I always thought Mobil 1 came out first. So my error ! Of course I might have gotten the wrong info as when Mobile 1 came out, I lived about a mile from Mobil's HQ in Fairfax, VA so the news was all over the news about Mobile 1 as first synthetic. I have not done tons of searching for comparisons of the two oils, the only ones I found were comparing synthetic to standard oils. If you have a URL for the "High Temperature/High Shear (ASTM D-4683)" I would be interested in seeing it. Thanks for the update!

What?? OMG....no claims of it being the oil used by MBB, or Boeing? OK..in all fairness, MBB technically no longer exists, now its Airbuss, but the funny thing is, I dont remember 55 gallon drums of Amsoil sitting in the repair hangers in Finkenverder when I worked there with MBB.... >What??

AMSOIL doesn't manufacture aviation oils. All the Best, Steve 15 year independent AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Dealer Offering wholesale prices to all, (as low as $4.30 qt.) E-mail me for details.

With all due respect to RP, they are a newbie in the synthetic lubricants industry compared to AMSOIL or Mobil 1.
