    I do not have a problem with people not liking what I have said but I do find issue with people assuming I said something that I did not.

    My point was very simple, I am not a fan of pyramid marketing schemes. I did not say anything bad about the product nor the people selling it. What I like should not stop any of you from buying or selling this product, that should be your choice; so what's the big deal here? I thought the purpose of this board was to share opinions.

    If you don't agree with their marketing, don't reply to the thread just keep moving along.

    I've read this thread and have a question for the Amsoil guy, according to this thread, some have seen a noticeable improvement in performance.

    What improvements can I expect in my 150 optimal over the Mercury oil?

    I don't own one or use it in a outboard so I cant personally testify on it. ( I use it in a lot of other stuff , ATV, generator, lawn products, and 2 vehicles). I would ask some mercury owners. I can tell you I sell a lot of our HP MArine oil here. Guys tell me they get less smoke, cleaner burning engines, less foul on plugs, and some even say they no longer run ring free. I've had guys claim to get higher RPM's and speed. I can't prove that or testify to that, but the way this thread is goin, I'm sure someone will be along at some time to give their opinion. I've seen test done between us and XD-100 which some guys around here think is the holy grail of oils, and we showed less wear.

    Glad I can help. I still don't get why so many people get so upset over nothing.

    I like how it smokes much less than Yamalube, doesnt make my motor load up at idle and putting around like Yamalube, Motor seems to run smoother on Amsoil. I like it so much I run it in my weed whip, leaf blower, snow blower and anything else 2 Stroke. I also like the price of it delivered to my door....

    Someone asked for a bit of a testimonial
    I've been running AMZOIL in all my motorized equipment and vehicles for over a year now.
    In my 200 Evinrude it's smokeless, runs cooler, better on fuel consumption, quieter, smooth idle especially in late fall early spring, (Ontario Canada), as does not thicken like others causing harder starts and longer warm up period. My friend is a lifer with motorcycles and mechanic and can't stop praiseing the difference from other oils includeing other sythetics saying the same as I've mentioned about my Rude.
    Performance is an all round improvement, but as far as makes it go faster...I can't really tell as weather conditions are never the same with waves etc.
    To finish my speel...even my weedeater starts better, runs better and unfortunately does not smoke the bushes to drive off the mosquitos...gotta be some kinda flaw in it right,lol.

    As I stated above, my only firsthand experience was with a racing 4 cycle kart.

    During the time I used it, we experienced a HUGE amount of carbon deposits on the piston in a short period of time. As far as internal wear, it was no better or no worse than the oil we switched from.

    Long story short, we switched back to the non Amsoil brand.

    To each their own!!

    How long ago was that??. Amsoil has a huge R & D dept. I can tell you they are constantly looking for better products. If they can make it better they will. Hence, the change in the HP 2-stroke marine oil they did last year. They wanted to compete against XD-100. The new oil has beaten XD-100 in the comparison test.

    Are there any dyno results in these comparison tests?

    If you have a question with how it works with your Mercury or outboard, ask Jay Smith, who rebuild outboards for a living. He can be found on the 2.5 Merc hi performance boards.

    For you guys that are running 100% synthetics, you may want to read up...Jay has seen the insides of more motors than anyone here...

    Your Optimax Or HPDI may be fine on 100% syn after break-in and it may make you feel warm and fuzzy, I dunno...but for what's it's worth, you should read all the info that's out there!

    A couple questions for you.

    #1. What is a MLM?

    #2. Will using AMSOIL void a NEW outboard motor warranty?

    Thanks
