The Lucas Synthetic isn't there either. But undoubtedly so are quite a few others if one took the time to compile a thorough list. Would never be all-inclusive. Too many options. Of course no one will fuel a new oil/conspiracy thread by suggesting that those not tested were omitted because Amsoil (who sponsored the testing) didn't want to compete against them 
.
I don't really believe that. Just stirring chit.
Actually Don the Lucas High Performance Motorcycle Oil is synthetic, and it's the same one I highlighted with red arrows in that chart. Considering the fact that even the old dino Harley 360 ranked higher, I don't think I will see Lucas in my garage anytime soon.
As for Redline, we've covered that subject a few times before, but I'll recap for those who missed it the first few times. When Amsoil chose the other oils to be tested, they selected the products that represented the major players in the market at the time. Redline didn't make a blip on the sales charts back when the other products were chosen. Since that time, Redline has made some negative comments about the comparison test but they have never offered any test results of their own, nor have they published a similar comparison that included their product. Why does anyone suppose that is, if in fact their product tests better? I know if I had a product that tested better and I thought I was losing sales to one of those brands included in the test, I'd put out some information showing how my product stacked up, and possibly even do my own comparison and publish the results just like Amsoil did. Funny how none of the other folks, on that chart or not, have done so.
Anyhow, now that I'm becoming more "green"
(and cheap) in my old age I've decided to just collect all that oil the old school Harley guys are draining at 2000 or 3000 miles and using that, since it still has plenty of useful life left.
