The only way to say Mobil 1 EP is not as good would be to now run Mobil 1 EP for 15k miles and compare. But I don't want to do that to my baby.

She loves AMSOIL, Pennzoil Platinum and, of all things, Supertech 5w30 full synthetic. It's a tangible difference.

Yes there are cases where Amsoil does great in oil analysis. So does mobil 1 EP and regular mobil 1.

However, none has been as consistent as PP though.

I'm not saying Amsoil is bad, I just don't see enough evidence to go for Amsoil instead of Mobil 1.
