Are you planning on doing a UOA on this oil?

This stuff looks good on paper, I would love to see a UOA from your car when you dump this fill. The TBN is kinda low in this lubricant, and from the low Viscosity Index # it indicates it must have a lot more group IV PAO base stock than group III, if they are blending the two. Wish they had the specs for ZDDP. It has great HT/HS too.

Unleashedbeast, I am just a lamen in this subject and I don't pretend to fully comprehend the data you are typing here but with all due respect it does basically read like amsoil is the best in the world and everything else is garbage? Obviously you have a stake in this and I think to ask you to be unbiased would be like ask a kenne belle rep who has the best supercharger ?? Right?? Again not trying to stir the pot and I truly appreciate all your info but it just does seem a wee bit biased..
