That is correct. There is no additive which will counteract shearing, fuel dilution, water/antifreeze contamination, or dust ingestion. That's why it's a good idea to have oil analysis done if you're going to extend drain intervals.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What brand of oil do you use?

All the things you are mentioned are true. The consumer needs to know his rights but that is up to each individual. As for the letters you mentioned - All AMSOIL really needs is the name of the dealership and the name of the Service Manager to cause AMSOIL to take action. I have orchestrated one personally with a Harley Dealer in Florida.
As for why AMSOIL can do extended drains is also the reason most people dislike AMSOIL and that is that the products are sold through a dealer network. ANY oil company could make a synthetic oil equal in quality to AMSOIL but there is only so much profit in a bottle of oil. AMSOIL does not have the national advertising budget that all the other oil companies have therefore they can put that money into higher quality base stocks and a beefier additive package that nullifies the by-products of combustion for a specified distance or time... For autos and trucks 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Motorcycles twice OEM recommended.
AMSOIL has been doing extended drain intervals since 1972 and the have warehouses full of data to back it up. The company has doubled is size every year, is debt free. If extended drains where a problem they would be mired in debt and law suits. As I said, use what you want and what you are comfortable with. Enough of my BLOVIATING. Maybe we could have a beer summit someday or give me a call, my number is on my website. Enjoy your weekend.

I'll probably go with the Liqui Moly Motorbike HC 5w40 street.
I found that yesterday and the numbers are good, it has a good rep in Germany and Europe, and the price is very reasonable in Canada where everything cost an arm and a leg
Certified Jaso MA2 and SN Plus
A BRP filter this time and I'll get a few HF556 filters and 'o' rings from Bajaron when I'll be in Texas this coming winter.

ldpost: This particular thread has been slumbering since August of 2013. Most of the posters are no longer on the site. There are a LOT of oil threads in the archives that are more timely.
I will close this one.
