"TC-W3® has demonstrated the necessary lubrication performance quality needed for these more demanding cylinder/engine conditions."

It says nothing of cleaning power

I wasn't trying to knock you or anyone. Can you provide me your information on the differences between Amsoil, Idemitsu, and the cheap stuff?

I tried to find a good write-up on it but I got nothing.

What I can tell you is that it really comes down to the cleaning chemicals in the fancy oils that make the real difference.

I mean sure, I bet they are better lubricants...but obviously not required.

My buddy ran Amsoir premix and after two tanks visibly saw the rotors almost clean as when he put them in as opposed to two tankfuls of cheap stuff earlier where they were coated in carbon.

When I hunted last the only big difference between Idemitsu and Amsoil was their price and cleaning capabilities. Amsoil is the most expensive but cleans the best.

So assuming you're right I could do a couple fill ups with the expensive stuff and then go the rest of the year with the cheap stuff. Sound about right?
