Explain? His comment has merit, our tanks say 20:1. In the nineties this moved to 32:1 then for some of us 50:1 (belray mc1). Amsoil dominator is rated for 100:1 since early 2000s. Oil technology has continued to improve
I agree with you. The comment has merit. Also, just to clear up some accuracy, Dominator is rated for 50:1, Saber Pro is rated for 100:1.
since when does qaulity outweigh qauntity (not that i consider amsoil qaulity). that stuff would turn to dust just as castor is getting warmed up. im sure jerry has seen a few burned up rod bearings from amsoil :biggrin-new:
FYI, Amsoil withstands up to the the temperature needs of the engine and then burns away CLEANLY. Castor does not. Need an example? Glad you asked. I just had a customer that switched from Castor to Dominator. Why? Glad you asked. His son has a 50cc 2 stroke dirt bike that he races. They have used nothing but castor oil since they got it because his dad used to run castor oil years ago in his 250r. But his son has been complaining lately about the engine not running real strong. His dad went back through the engine to find the issue. Turns out the exhaust pipe was almost completely closed off from carbon buildup. That's your "just getting warmed up". I don't really care what anyone says they have seen unless they have some scientific testing to back it up. Otherwise, they are just guessing as to causes. A good oil formula is a blend of all favored characteristics, not just one. If Amsoil doesn't have as high of a flash point as castor oil, then it was designed to be that way on purpose.
And it's not really a quality vs quantity situation, it's concentration vs quantity. You use concentrations in everyday life. Why does it seem so strange here? If you buy some Roundup concentrate and it says mix it 10:1. Do you turn around and say," nope, I'm gonna mix it 2:1 cause that will work better."If it kills weeds at 10:1, then mix it 10:1. Why waste the product and use more than you need? Same for a degreaser like Super Clean for example. If you want to clean engine parts and the instructions say dilute it to 5:1 to clean engine parts. Do then again ignore the instructions, mix it 2:1, and waste the product even though it is designed to be used at 5:1 to do that particular job? And just one last tidbit, even Maxima Castor oil has ratio recommendations in the 40:1 range up to 60:1.
i dont think coc will even recomend amsoil its that bad :excitement:
I really don't know why your funny thread, which started well I might add, has turned into an Amsoil bashing thread. I think you will find there are more on this forum that run it than you realize. For whatever reason you don't like it. Fine. Move on. Why ruin a good idea for a funny thread?
