Amsoil is the oldest company in the business, having started just after the Korean war. You have been railing about how synthetics are not necessary, and clearly did not do any homework before asking. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are your friends. Just because one of your friends is an occasional PITA (and I qualify for that category myownself at regular intervals) does not mean you stop appreciateing them. I complement you on your decision to at least experiment with synthetic - and I assure you that the mechanic who rebuilt my 200's transmission did not want to put ANYthing but a synthetic in it! When I asked him to do so, he just pointed to a rack of Amsoil on the wall I hadn't seen. So, Avi - the "EXOTICS" are not Amsoil and Redline, which are MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better researched and thoroughly developed than the johnny- come-latelies. Who are these newbies???? Pennzoil - Havoline - Quaker State - Castrol, to name a few. ALL of these products are newbies on the market!!!!!! I call a newer, less- tested product with a shorter track record a good candidate to be called "Exotic". If they're cheap and the ones with a longer track record are more expensive, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! If I'm going to trust a $36K car to a synthetic, I want the longest development and the most research behind that fluid I can get. This leaves you three NON-exotics: Amsoil - Redline - Mobil 1. There's your choice. ....................................................... Al Powell, Ph.D. Voice: 409/845-2807 107 Reed McDonald Bldg.
