 It wouldn't be that major automakers feel more comfortable making a
deal with an oil-company-superpower than with, say, a small outfit in
Wisconsin, now would it? :)
 Also, in order to buy Amsoil, the automakers would have had to pay
membership fees to buy into their MLM sales force.  hee hee.
 But seriously, outside of the lab, I doubt that anyone could find a
difference in quality between Amsoil, Mobil, or Redline.  Except maybe
at 70 below zero, where some may stop pouring.  But then if it's 70
below zero, I'll be inside, pouring.

see also the classic oil faq.  Here is but one copy:
