Interesting how they faired and I'd bet only the tests Amsoil excelled in were used. However, the report does give a good idea of how other oils compare against one another. I've been using Mobil 1, looks like that was a good choice.

that's wild... I would have though what I consider "race" products (Amsoil, Redline,Lucas) would all be to the left but Lucas was the worse.

Anything like this on engine oil?

While Amzoil came out best I would look at these test closer and determine which are important to a racing trans or diff. and what isn't. As racers we should change lubricants often and we don't race in really cold weather. So eliminate those tests that would test things like pour point, etc. and then look at those results.
