Also picked up 5 qts of synthetic Amsoil 10-40 motorcycle oil for $12 from a guy cleaning out his garage!

Score. Is that all he had? It's about that for one quart.

Is Amsoil actually better than most?  If so, what's your indicators?  Your proof, not someone else's.  I've read a so called scientific whitepaper titled: "A Study of Motorcycle Oils (second edition)" that was paid for by Amsoil that seems to indicate as much, however I'm always a skeptic when it's obvious that a conflict of interest is involved, no matter if the testing entity swears by it or not, as they in fact got paid by the company that came out on top, (psychology 101)!

Just saying!  I tend to believe those that actually use the product, finding evidence of their own, unless of course an independent laboratory, did the testing, not for any of the products manufacturers in question, rather, in this case, an unaffiliated motorcycle manufacturer, or some equally unaffiliated entity.

Anyone find less particles on their drain plug magnet, or some equally convincing actuality?

It's all he had. But it's synthetic and Amsoil is supposed to be good stuff.
$12 bucks!

Enough!! One digital popcorn is all we really need. It is like "Hot" stickers in a fabrication shop, all the jobs end up with the Friging' HOT stickers!!

Rant is over now....

Stirring the pot Pat?.... Fair enough. I am guilty as well...

Depends on what kind of oil it was popped with.

My dad used to say that and then giggle. He was a quiet man.

Are you kidding?  If you're finding particles on your drain plug, you don't need to worry about oil, it's too late for that! Worry about your motor coming apart!  
Amsoil is tested according to SAE & ASTM standards.  They do standardized testing and publish results with names and numbers.  If they were falsifying testing, the other manufacturers would get lawyers involved and it would get ugly.  
As to your point about the payee always coming out on top, you obviously didn't read the 1st edition of this oil test.  Amsoil did OK, but certainly not 'on top'.  So they went back and re-engineered the MC oil and did A LOT better on the 2nd round of testing.  (http://www.amsoil.com/performancetestarchives.aspx A Study of Motorcycle Oils (G2156))

Now, you COULD say I'm just a paid schill, since I am an AMSOIL dealer.  But I also run their products, and have a lot of happy customers as well, including several right here on this FJ Forum.  So either they're all suckers or in on the gag.  You decide!
