I would like to see those tests that your father had done. There is no way
that Castrol is the same as Amsoil. There is a 4-20% increase in mpg,
guaranteed. There is very little engine wear when using Amsoil and I have
the proof on my 81 Jeep pickup bought new and has nothing but Amsoil in it.
Had the vocational shop instructors tear down the engine and had the
students measure all the engine parts. ALL were in NEW car specs. Hardly any
engine wear. Everyone was amazed on how clean and new the inside was.
