I have a friend that is an Amsoil dealer, I kid him that it's the Tupperware of
the oil industry. Anyway, definately good products but so are Mobil 1, Redline,
Royal Purple and a number of others. They do have some unique products such as
the bypass oil filter system. I use the chassis lube from them and I definately
like the oild foam air filters they sell. They flow as well as the K&N oiled
gauze and do a better job of filtering. I became a real fan of oiled foam back
in the 70's and 80's when I raced dirt bikes.
