On a stupid meaningless note I like the way it smells.
You are right. That is the only Amsoil product I ever tried, and that was 6-7 years ago. I didn't even know they had a different oil out on the market, I ignore the Amsoil bottles now. I am very happy with the Yamalube, so I see no need to start trying different oils.Originally posted by GlennP
I assume you are refering to the old 100:1 stuff.
Considering that 4% is 4 times as much oil as 1%, I don't see how you can shrug quantity off as being insignificant. There is a lot of evidence to support using high quantities of oil in the mix. The higher oil content produces better piston-to-cylinder sealing, resulting in measurably better engine performance.Originally posted by TR
... Perspective:
100:1 = 1%
50:1 = 2%
25:1 = 4%
What do you think matters the most: quality or quantity ? In my opinion the quality is what matters most.

I ran Amsoil in my quad for three oil changes...
After that, I had a blown top end, my cam was a little scratched, and my rockers had scratches as well!

Heck if you actually were informed you would have known Amsoil would have paid the bill for your rebuild if it had been determined the oil caused the failure.
Actually, that's a myth that was disproved in an article in Dirt Rider a few years ago. There was very little difference in power between 16:1 and 50:1.There is a lot of evidence to support using high quantities of oil in the mix.
