The fact that some wags came up with a new "certification" in order to
sell more expensive oil doesn't mean the oils they are trying to sell
are any better than anyone else's oils.

From the pdf file at nmma.....

Here's what it's all about:

"IV. IMPROPER USE OF REGISTERED MARK

Licensed Oils. For oils displaying an improper label or unauthorized
labeling data, NMMA will inform the Marketer to cease and desist the
violation and will request verification that the violation has been
corrected. The Marketer will be required to provide a copy of all labels
reflecting the correction of the registered mark violation. If the
violation has not been corrected in reasonable time, NMMA may terminate
the license agreement.

Non-Licensed Oils. For oils not licensed by NMMA and displaying the
NMMA trademark or claiming to meet the NMMA FC-W™ specification, NMMA
will
inform the Marketer to cease and desist the unauthorized labeling
immediately and will take such action as appropriate under the
circumstances.

V. ENFORCEMENT AND CONFORMANCE TO LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

If supporting evidence demonstrates that an FC-W™ certified oil does not
meet the technical requirements (specifications) of FC-W™ or has
documented field performance problems, NMMA will attempt to work directly
with the marketer to remedy the nonconformity and to make such additional
corrective actions as appropriate on a voluntary basis. In the event the
matter cannot be satisfactory resolved, NMMA will terminate the license
and take other action as is appropriate under the circumstances."

Notice it talks about MARKETERS, not oil manufacturing companies, like
Texaco or BP. What do MARKETERS have to do with making oil that's
special?? The only thing I know MARKETERS do is to add profit to cost
and ship product they don't manufacture.

Amsoil is a MARKETER. Texaco is a manufacturer....(c;
