I don't think that race cars would use anything but the very best oil they could find, regardless of the amount of money they are paid (or usually not paid) by Mobil 1. Despite your guarantees, I don't believe that they would switch unless they thought that the other brands were equivalent. There are a lot of race cars that use Mobil 1 without sponsorship, and without the advertising. The burden of this argument is on Amsoil, since they claim that their oil is far superior to Mobil 1, since they have to justify the 50-100% premium they charge over Mobil 1. <hereslookinnopsamcom> wrote in message news:df7jtt0l40sm89tlb7lts5ovnhturj9hhjnopsamcom... > On Fri, 26 Oct 2001 07:20:36 -0600, "maf" <mfeldmannopsamt.net> wrote: > > I'm sorry but thais is some of the silliest reasoning for making a > product claim I have ever heard.
