Evo IX 9 What is the Best OIl??
Something funny with your comments.... every.... EVERY oil company makes claims like that regardless. So do tire manufacturers, brake manufacturers.... everyone's products "make" cars last longer, run stronger.
Everyone also has their favorite products to use and swear it's the only thing you should run, regardless....
Why don't you stop insulting folks.... and grow up

AMSOIL is great oil. Never said it was not but I refuse to sit and have someone say that they are sacrificing reliability in their modern aged vehicle by not using X oil.
It just is not the case. So I don't see the insult. Maybe the sheep comment
So you are going to sit here and still feed your salesman bull**** that by not running an oil with grossly elevated levels of ZDDP in his modern day street car that he will sacrifice engine and turbo life. 
My god what a frigging joke.
I have run plenty of UOA's over the years with no issues to speak of and have had no oil related issues with my real world, high milage, non factory turbo car ever. Nor will I.
You're a salesman I get that, but the scare tactics and frankly AMSOILS whole marketing scheme is again utter bull****.
Have fun with the sheep

What the heck do you base you facts on dude. Have you been involved in race teams, have you been involved in oil chemistry, have you been involved in the oil industry to know what are the dynamics of today's products.
Because I tell you what all I am getting from your postings are emotional spills, I see no links I see no data, I see no race cars running the oil you so much defend.
But again this is something I have challenged you on for a long time and what I get nada.
Can't fix stupid

Do some quick google search on group 2, group 3 and group 4 base stock oils, you will get a quick glimpse of the differences.
Well sir i will do I'm planing on running AMS oil cuz so far it's my favorite I do like royal purple as well but I will look more into it I'm very interested

My gripe is in your claims of reliabilty of a modern day motor not running an oil with large doses of ZDDP is sacrificing engine life. Simply is not the case PERIOD
TedB went into this a long long time ago with the whole FP Turbo bearing debate.

Stop with the Amsoil crap. If any of the hundreds of other people on here who don't post, and are still running a catalytic converter start using z-rod, in the event that it causes premature cat failure, will you guys replace it?
There is a specific oil for every application. That is the answer to the OP's question. Running something like Z-rod in a daily driver is a waste of money.
206,000 miles boosting 30 psi with regular 3,000 mile change intervals on Mobil 1 says it's plenty good.

if you actually use your car u have to run a high end synthetic oil like AMSOIL or equivalent. if your are just using your car as a prius or to park hard then run whatever your want.
apagan01 and everybody else with a brain, don't waste your breath. let the retards do what they want, if we're lucky they'll blow the car up and go buy a subi :P
P.S. i don't know what you guys consider a "modern day motor", but you realize that, other than the evo x, evo's have had an engine that was being produced for 17 years.

4G63 is a modern engine. Please go back and read through the old FP recommended oil threads before you start calling people retards. You might learn something

Fp did a test on their turbos and found that they had high levels of thrust bearing wear after switching from brad penn to mobil 1. This was ona 500+ hp car running 25+psi and frankly i believe them. They are not reccomending one oil brand and have data to back it up. Valvoline vr1 is a cheap oil so money isnt the issue either. That being said, on a car with a stoxk turbo i really dont think you will see any difference.
Yup actually use my car for what is nearly 8 yrs now. Never seen a drop of Amsoil. 150k and amazing the whole drivetrain is still OEM. Head has cams springs and retainers. Not worried in the least about it blowing up and when it does it certainly is not going to be because of not using an oil with high doses of ZDDP.
