He did work for oil companies in Europe, formulating and testing oils iirc.

So I'd say he knows what he's talking about..........


Btw amsoil told me a while back when I asked, they don't have certifications because it's was too expensive to get their oils certified and that's why they stopped. But in reality I believe oil certifications only cost a couple hundred bucks to perform (as per bitog), and since they don't have it I'd say it's not a monetary concern but rather that their oils simply cannot pass the stringent tests set out by the oem's.


Btw i personally don't think a small company like ams oil is going to be able to out formulate billion dollar companies like shell and mobil1 who also take their learnings from formula 1 and put it into their commercial oils. Look at shell, they developed GTL tech with Ferrari in F1 and now it's in their street oils.
