Amsoil is not just as good as Neo drive oil that we designed and we guarantee our oil for 75 to 100 hours depending on application, so by the time you change your amsoil every 8 to 10 hours you have spent more money than buying the NeoOil 75-90MRHD oil.

Also, 8-10 hours on AMSOIL. I've run it for full seasons, 55-65 hours, and my tests still come back just fine. So....now what? Show me a data sheet on this so called Neo Oil. Would love to know more about and why its expensive as can be! I love comparing products.

Really? What makes you say that?

Really are you serious you think that a motorcycle oil is going to hold up to an out drive for more then a few hours.

Don't get me wrong amsoil is a great product for stock or slightly over stock applications way better then most on the market but for the high horse power boats it's just not what they need. As far as data sheets go we have tests being done and will have the results soon.

Considering this is what Teague has run in his 6's for about 5 years now, in racing conditions and has seen literally zero wear, yeah, I do believe it will work just fine. And I'll put my AMSOIL up against anything you can bring!

And what exactly do these "non-stock" boats need? Whats the magical potion?

Wow, your pretty mouthy about all of this. :evilb: I can tell you that its lowered the temps in my bravos by a long shot but hey, what do I know. I just run around in a 13000lb bravo breaker. :kiss:

Heat is a bravo drives worst enemy IMO so by reducing it which is exactly what this oil has done for me, I have increased my drive longevity.

Different strokes for different folks bro. If you like your amsoil, run it. We used to run it in our trucking company for years and saw lower trans and drive temps. On the other side of that coin is NEO oil and its blend has been doing very well in bravo based boats, mine included.

The Japanese motorcycles have been using common sumps since they were made, way before Amsoil was even around.

Motor oil will last in a gear box, but you can't use your typical high shear aotomotive polymer to blend it. You need a polymer that is typical of a gear lube, unless the motor oil is blended from base stocks with no polymer.

Ken

Ken,
How is any motor oil GL-1 rated? i.e. the following....
http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/Lub...ycle_Oils.aspx

This the Mobil 1 V-twin oil, which is very good, but even this data sheet doesn't claim a GL-1 rating. They actually state "These products will help provide excellent performance in motorcycle engines that are designed with a common engine/transmission lubrication system or where the engine lubrication system is separate from the transmission system. In the case of the latter, follow the manufacturer's recommendation for the type of fluid to be used in the transmission."

So....

Nope. Not saying that at all, but AMSOIL's motorcycle oils are also GL-1 rated, and have been tested in FZG gear testing, ASTM D-5182. Just saying, some things are made differently than others, and can perform in different applications.
