Oil Test

One observation about amsoil,
amsoil series 2000 5-30 runs high in viscosity range. I have
confirmed this in my own oil analysis test. I don't think
its appropriate for our 5-20 motor, except southern climates can probably
run it ok in the summer.

I got an email from amsoil, a 0-20 series 2000 is in development.
I will have to run amsoil XL7500 0-20 for now.

This is a long term test that is very interesting, nothing like this
exists anywhere else.

I think this is keypoint of the analysis.


Wear metals at Miles 9000
____________Mobil 1______Amsoil
Iron___________38_________17
Copper________124_________69
Lead__________16__________12

Another is that if running
extended drain like 10k miles, a filter change at 5 k miles will
drop the wear metals.
