Default Oil Study

Just a "heads-up" that the ongoing oil study comparing the two biggies in the synthetic oil market, Amsoil and Mobil 1, will have a 6,000 mile update in a day or two. Go to http://oilstudy.spacebears.com[sm=smiley5.gif]

Interesting, looks like Amsoil has an slight edge at this point. The link at the end of your link was Greek to me, though!!!!! I'm going to have to look around that website a bit more...[sm=smiley4.gif]

I keep forgetting to ask you this...Does synthetic motor oil have a shelf life in an unopened container??

Dusty, I may wait for Bill to chime in on that one, I've never thought of that. I'm guessing it doesn't. He'll know for sure.

PS: look forward to those test results.

The reason I asked is that I was thinking of stocking up a little since the prices look like they will be going up sometime soon...[sm=smiley24.gif]

It's slow progression waiting for the mileage and the results, but it's still interesting.
