This testing was done by Amsoil and not an independent lab so I have always been suspicious of the results.

I am just sharing something I found, I am not an Amsoil dealer nor have I ever used Amsoil in any of my cars and trucks.
I agree with this statement 100%. I'm NOT an Amsoil dealer, but I do use Amsoil motor oils exclusively now in all my cars. I've used Red Line, Mobil1, Royal Purple, Motorcraft, Castrol, etc... and I've had every one of those oils sent in for independant analysis' mid change, after change and under all sorts of different environments of use. Amsoil and Red Line have come out on top for longevity, visocity durability and additive package contents every time. Since Amsoil is a tad cheaper with the member discount, I decided to use that over Red Line.The difference with Amsoil is real. Their raw materials / base oil and processing is different from the rest.
Buy any good quality synthetic.
They all blow away "Dino" aka conventional motor oils.
Post your test results to the board here for each of the oils you tested. I'm game for using a better oil if there is one.I agree with this statement 100%.

FYI depending on how much Amsoil you use, you can just sign up and become a dealer, get all the benefits for I believe $50 a year.Keep us abreast of your UOA results from your truck
With 53% left OLM I would guess there's 3 to 4k on the current oil. I would be interested in what if anything is reported on viscosity and raw fuel.
Being able to get Amsoil at your cost price point is a very nice thing to have. At $10 retail plus shipping makes it slightly cost prohibitive to many of us. It will be interesting to compare as we put miles on these things.
I scored on the PU from Autozone, 5 gallon jug for $27. Walmart has it usually for $35 a jug. If Autozone hadn't had the deal I would still probably be running the Ford recommended Motorcraft.
Today's cars are cheatingJust too easy when the manufacturer gives you 550 HP off the showroom. I had to work hard to get to that power level. Cam, heads, valvetrain, the idle was less than refined, like cars of today off the lot.
Had a 12 psi ProCharger on it with 3 core IC. Boost is too easy to make lots of power, and it's addictive.
Had pretty good luck with the on the short part of the track with the Camaro. Worked a while getting the pinion angle correct under load on the adjustable torque arm, the Strange 12 bolt under the rear was a stout piece, could beat on it all day. A little air bag in the right rear usually keep the launches straight and true, no surprises or jumping 30 degrees sideways on the launch.
I like you enjoy a nice finely crafted piece of machinery, no matter if it uses gasoline or gun powder. At the current time waiting a 1/16th punch from set I bought from Amazon to put a new hand guard and other accessories on a rifle. I just need an outdoor range closer as well. Or win the lotto so I can purchase a few hundred acres.
If you were forced to buy off the shelf oils, which two oils would you choose?
