How does TrboDyn compare to Amsoil?
In performance and price?
Are there any test results?

I was surprised at the poor performance of Amsoil.
Can somebody post the Reader's Digest Condensed version of the results?
My take = Triodine is the best.
Can't get much more condensed than that.
But it did take me a long time to download and open it. We have painfully slow service and this old computer doesn't help a thing. I have to much stuff on here, but I don't know how or what needs to go.
A little overview would help people that have trouble with downloads
Standard "Timken test" is not dog & pony, however the nano Tungsten particles 'fullerene' has been proven for many, many decades to out perform any and everything "common to consumers."Failures from shock cooling scuffing a piston I doubt any oil can prevent: this is the test that stops the electric motor dog and pony show that @FellowTraveler posted. The motor did, in fact, stop at some point. IF it can get past the shock - maybe.
Having done the timken test on many oil variations working at the oil company in the fleet, it is very easy to defraud using the test- as a WW put it: a dog and pony show.
Exact duplicate testing and preferred as a double blind method is the only way to find results.
The testing described for this oil was using correctly an exact duplicate system. Could it have been faked or done misleading? Yes. The results being so dramatic is what led me to finding some old phone numbers and bothering people that were not excited to get my call. They see reports like this and do their own tests to know if it is real or marketing bs. Their opinions of it is why I have changed to this is what I believe is the best options.
As to putting in your own extra additives to this oil-
Figure if we know of the additives, the folks that created this oil might be aware of it also. If they are asked and say yes you could add it then ok. But if they say not to for some reason- could be they tried it and found results as to why not.
Remember all the factors of improving oil tends to follow a bell curve and once certain percentages of components are hit the back side of the curve is found. If they don’t add more based on simply investment cost per quart, they would tell you you can add more. But since they are making what is not based on being the cheaper oil but the best option- I would think focusing any additional money on filtering would be better spent.
I've become a true believer in these modern methods of coating limited only by ones imagination and bringing lubricants way beyond what is considered the norm. 'Moly is a great additive and the tungsten nano particles are the slickest thing known to man right now and used in countless products and both proving their worth and ability to coat and stay put and not just fall out or filtered out in lubricating oil applications.'Anyone can look through the msds and see whats in it. Moly is one of them and it is very good at lubrication and their are other things in it.

Just throwing some ideas out there on what legit concerns exist with oil. I have seen this test abused for snake oil, but, it's not my main concern for oil. The only true oil failures I have experienced have been from high heat ruining the oil and high heat combined with biodiesel contamination. Heat the oil sample up to 300 degrees and see how it holds up. (My former Trailblazer SS would hit this ECM calculated oil temp without towing on grades.) The Mobil 1 frying pan test comes to mind although a visual only: how well is the oil holding up at the top of the grade when it's 121 degrees out? Then when the towing's done how is the oil pressure with an additional 15 min of idle, AC on high, while kicking the trailer off?
