[QUOTE="Chris@FreedomMotorsports, post: 569807, member: 8341"] This is true to a point. The number one additive that is lacking for flat tappet engines is Zinc. We can thank emissions testing requirements for this as well as the reduction of other additives such as sulfur in diesel fuel and lower TBN oils for diesels as well. As for the "One Arm Bandit" testing, you have to be very careful what you believe. It is extremely easy to make the tests go your way. In the video comparing Amsoil and Royal Purple, notice how differently the guy adds the weights between the two, quickly dropping the weight on the tester for the Amsoil and slowly, carefully allowing adding weight to the Royal Purple, etc. Most oils, regardless of brand, have additives that perform better as they warm up. That being said, in the Amsoil video of the OAB, you can see that even shampoo will perform well if you allow it to warm up. Why use and Amsoil filter over a Baldwin branded filter? Because when you order the Amsoil oil & filter through me, EVEN when ordering it instead of going to the local store, you save money on the best oil and filters on the market. [/QUOTE]
