Sneaky Amsoil Advertising???

Anyway, as far as Amsoil is concerned, I've had nothing but great
performance from their non-API oils for over 90,000 miles. Also, I
recently purchased this new motor oil software, Engine Oil Selector 2005
(EOS) (http://engineoilselector.com/index.html) and it calculates Amsoil
as being the top-ranked oil for every SAE viscosity Amsoil makes.

So, one day after this software ("Engine Oil Selector 2005") is
announced in alt.comp.shareware, two people in two very different
groups post *exactly* the same sentence saying that Amsoil comes out
number one in every grade Amsoil makes.

Mighty suspicious. (Especially since both posts came from the same IP
address 10 minutes apart.)

The only technical person I can find associated with this software is
"M.F. Nigohosian, B.S.M.E", who is identified as the Engine Oil
Selector Software Project Manager at the company that's publishing
this software. Are there any oil company people involved at any
level?

Does anybody know who is actually behind this software? Is it a new
twist in product advertising?

Sounds like they should rebrand it as "Anusoil"!

Your concerns that will address this issue should be directed to the
corporate office. My opinion is that the source of the page you refer
to does not originate from the corporation unless my eyes are slower
than my fingers. Its validity shoud be measured by its source. If I am
wrong about assuming that its source other than what it looks like,
then I would also assume that the web site may be under construction.
