Ok now, you can't make a crack like that without backing it up. And no, your other Amsoil bashing thread doesn't do it either. 
I mean something other than "Amsoil didn't cut my fuel consumption in half".

We just switched our TUSA Modified Lite race cars over to it at begining of this season. The engine builder called during scheduled freshen up to see what we were running as he had never seen the bearings in such good condition.
One thing though. This stuff stains like no oil I have ever used. Be very careful not to get it on Vinyl or clothing it does not come out!

and...WOW your engine builder called to see what oil you used because he never saw bearings in such good condition??
Finally some proof that Mobil V-Twin is totally where it is at!
Any engine at or above 500 HP NEEDS it baby!
V-twin is THE one to beat....it is a rock solid product!

It's the only Mobil product that is not looking all that great. It has way too much viscosity enhancers in it and they shear down way too much under heat and high load.
Save it for your power mower or tractor or try to exchange it maybe use it in a leased vehicle or something if you get my drift.
