Lemme see if I've got this straight:
OP says he's a salesman. He acknowledges this is a skeptical crowd. Then he hauls out a bunch of stuff that's anecdotal and talks about his supplier's claims. He admits they're claims, not facts backed up by data. Then he gets mad because this skeptical crowd doesn't believe claims from a salesman without data.
What did I miss?

pretty much sums it up.
but to be clear....I'm ok with a guy being a distributor for a product. Be it Amway, ACN, Amsoil.....whatever.
Just be upfront with us.
This is like the third person who comes and posts and claims NOT to be representing a product.....and then BAMMM....they admit they have a horse in the race!
ANd I certainly respect the shop owners and mechanics who see this stuff all day long.
But dont come in with your first post telling us how sceptical eveybody says we are (like that's a bad thing!!!)

amsoil does make about the best motor oil you can buy, i can't imagine they'd make crap for a fuel treatment product.

TCW3 is a 2 stroke oil rating.

yea after this thread went south with a salesman pitching crap I probably should
Best Additive for Your Car? Pennzoil Marine 2 Stroke Oil - Maxima Forums
Been testing
Pretty much it cleans out your engine and helps make up for the problems created from ethanol blended fuels. Over at the maxima forum guys are extremely critical and it actually appears to be generally accepted.
I didnt post a new thread because it's not %100 for mpg gains, but it sure can't hurt performance aka mpg. |
