AMSOIL oils



I was under the impression that sythetic didn't burn so you didn't get smoke
from a synthetic.  I may be wrong but it seems to make sense.  If this is
the case, Josh, you are probably spewing oil out of the exhaust instead of
burning it and seeing smoke.  Also, if Mobil 1 smokes and Amzoil doesn't
then Mobil 1 may not be a true synthetic!!  That would be surprising to me
but nothing is surprising when it comes to big companies trying to pull the
wool over the little guys eyes like Castrols syntec crap!!
