You can also PM APagan01 (IIRC) and order from, he gets great prices and tell him that you want to pick it up at the Arlington warehouse.

PS-always thought Ansoil has a pyramid scheme going on

I think Tom has a diesel in his car. That was one hell of a smoke screen.

My silly car has no traction in 1st or second and third... well... it's struggling too

treat your car like a cheap *****, it'll react like a cheap *****. At the very least put the still sub-par Mobil 1 factory fill in it.

You'll notice that most everyone who has a high hp car runs Amsoil, Motul, and the like. There's a reason. We're not just throwing our money away - the oils are better. Especially compared to that QS ****.

butt dyno 350awhp isn't high enough in my book. I had over 400whp 350z, ran valvoline no problem for many milies and hitting boost in hot summer days and drove michigan to dallas and etc etc. Ran amsoil and castrol syntec in my s2k hitting redline everyday i drive.
Go ahead read again my post what i'm going to try next. QS is cheap but i've been read many good reviews and UOA thru bobistheoilguy so i gave it a try. Was that bad that i tried?

Dang, if i was about sell my car i'm sure you are gonna jump on there saying " this dude is CHEAP!! not take good care his car!!!"

You're correct, I would never buy a performance car that was treated that way. Not sure how that's an insult to me...

Conventional crude based oils move away from heat and hot spots leaving turbos with no oil and cause coking. Synthetics move towards heat it's the base molecular structure. You can even duplicate this simple test on your freggin stove.


There are no official government tests for motor oils. The label on the back is the American petroleum institute. Thier standards are very very low.
