Yeah that was my bad... I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled across the thread and then I didn't think to check the date before I posted...

Eh, I had been meaning to post my wear results for a while now anyway...

I agree with making this thread a sticky.
I use Mobil 1 in everything I have after it's broken in. I did extensive research on my own (before I had Internet!), and based on what I could find at the time, decided that Mobil ! was the way to go. As the 'net came along, my opinion was reinforced- in every test I could find for many years, the benchmark against which synthetic oils were compared to was Mobil One. In my mind, that's like admitting something is better than whatever you're promoting, especially when it doesn't quite measure up.
I really appreciate the findings on grease; I've been using Mobil 1 but will make a change as soon as I can find a local supplier of Green Grease or Amsoil (Amsgrease?!?).

where are you in west central Illinois? I have stocking dealers all over around the west part of the state- Jacksonville, Ashland, Beardstown, Quincy, and others.

Pennzoil Plat. is some of the best oil you can buy for the price. Then get a motorcraft filter and then your set.

Now I'm not certain if Royal Purple and Amsoil really do have moly in them, but if they do, that's not good for a DD. The Amsoil rep at this site was going to check if Amsoil has moly in it or not, and then get back to us and post the answer here. That was many months ago, and he's never posted whether Amsoil has moly or not.

I normally try not to take aim directly at Amsoil at this forum because the Amsoil rep here is a forum vendor and so I try to turn a blind eye to it, even though he never did report back on whether it has moly in it or not. However, when an Amsoil user takes aim at me for my posting about oils, when I'm already restraining myself regarding Amsoil topics, then I have to tell the truth about Amsoil in a direct manner.

If Amsoil has moly, don't use it.

If it does not have moly, then it's OK to use it, but there are better oils that cost less (namely Mobil, Chevron, and Shell).

Now as to whether Amsoil actually has moly in it, or not, I don't know. I've heard it does, and the Amsoil rep was going to check and get back to us, but he never did.

Enough said.

Actually, one more thing to say. Amsoil is like Barak Obama. If a person says something it doesn't like, you're sure as hell going to here from it and its supporters and get flamed by both. Mobil, Chevron, and Shell couldn't give a poop less what I post here because they know they're the best and offering it for bargain prices. But even if I flamed the big 3 here, they wouldn't care what I post because they know they're the best. Why is Amsoil so sensitive?

Just to clear this up there is NO MOLY used in the engine oils. However some research that I have been doing lately I have found that alot of the Royal Purple oils do contain moly. Just fyi.
