With all respect , why Amsoil oils seem too shady ?

Hey , 1st of all i don't wanna start a fight or something but why amsoil oils are too shady in every aspect ? why does it feel like those scam network marketing companies ? in which if you get certain no of victims you make profit ? i know it has a good rep in use but i wonder why all this ? where it is produced ? why company address and plants are just "Superior,WI and a zip code" ? is it too fantasy to have factory photos or it's like a military camp and nobody can photo ?

Is it made in China ? i know also many dealers here will say "why don't you ask about Mobil plants address or photo of plant making their oil ?" and this q would not be so valid as Mobil 1 is a "well known" brand" and it doesnt need a proof , as WalMart would not deal with a backyard china factory , same with advnace , autozone etc etc etc ....Please I wanna some neutral people chime in here and not dealers who would repeat over and over again about their superior protection quality and 4 ball test lol?

When I google those questions I only found the love songs about the superior protection

What do you people say ? again my respect everybody.

Least shady, most in person oil company I have ever dealt with. I have been inside their DC here in Vegas. Not sure what your concern is but I can tell you for sure they exist and are based here in the US.

Anyone concerned about "multi-level" needs to start buying all their stuff directly from the original producers.

Buy your food from the farmer, not the grocery store.
Buy your motor oil from Mobil, not Walmart.
Buy your car from Nissan, not the dealer.

I bought shingles last night......I found it easier to go to "orange" than to the shingle plant near Montreal, for 7 bundles.
