<< < (5/5)

PappaWheelie:
I spotted a couple of new Amsoil products on my Auto Value retailer's shelf that seemed to warrant being Extreme Pressure Coefficient of Friction tested.

Amsoil Z-Rod 20W-50 was characterized as having copious Zinc for protection of flat tappet hot rod etc. engines.

And Amsoil ATF Signature Series (which smells exactly like ATF usually does) offered promise of extended transmission life.

The Z-Rod didn't compare with Dominator, but the ATF Signature Series clearly bested the Amoco Ford spec product of yore while offering perhaps the lowest practical level of viscosity on the market, a potential competitive edge for 2-stroke racing engine gearboxes.

PappaWheelie:
Based on Amazon reviews I procured the "Non-Bio" Synthetic Oil variant of G96, which seemingly garnered more favor than the Bio CLP of the same brand, which was characterized as principal rival (military-certified) of Break Free CLP. Here are "wet" test results, notso...

For consistency, here's the product image

And also for CLP test consistency, I retested after thorough dryout period, meh... it actually went backwards!

So Break Free CLP, the "other" Mil-spec product, remains best-in-class by far.
