They used to. Back in 2003 it was mandatory for all new Evo owners to watch this stupid video and take a test. I know a lot of dealerships blew this off, but mine didn't. I tried to stop it. I told them about my previous 4G63 turbo AWD cars and everything, but they insisted on me watching and taking the stupid test. They said upper management is making them do it.

Anyone else remember this video and test?

I used to have it on my computer. When I get home tonight (or tomorrow morning) I'll see if I can find it and host it on YouTube or something.

Cloudy, have you done testing of some sort to come to these conclusions? just asking.

Can someone provide some proof that Amsoil is clearly better than Mobil1 from a website that was NOT written by Amsoil, lol?

An objective test with oil analysis would be nice, like the one I posted earlier:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=102173

I don't doubt that Amsoil is an excellent product, I just want to know if it is worth the extra price over Mobil1.

MObile 1 is what I use, it is 100% synthetic unlike how some of these folks think otherwise. As for the filter, I dont use the OEM, I use mobile 1 or K&N (depends on what is in stock) Mobile 1 filters flow better.
