I find it easy to deny my business to companies that have misleading marketing practices. Maybe that is just me.
I look for independent certification to published standards, things like API, rather than the colour of the packaging.
I don't know the anonymous engine builder, but since Amsoil operates a multilevel marketing program, he is most likely getting paid for his recommendation. That is how Amsoil, Amway , etc, operate. What is in it for him? A percentage. He doesn't have to hope for an engine failure, that would be a logical fallacy. He just gets to collect his share of the sales.
Redline? Another oil that doesn't typically certify to independent standards, such as API. They are the ones that say to use their Dexron-clone ATF in ZF transmissions, despite the known problems associated with doing so.
