I would have a few basic requirements for the oil of my choice. (Not brand specific)
Class label API-TC++ (air cooled engine oil, best of class, takes care of smoke, ash and a few other things)
Viscosity @ 100C >15 cSt (> means greater than, for best viscosity values in hot engine parts. This keeps bearings alive)
VI >150 (For low temperature fluidity)
Flash point >200°C (to keep oil in there where it gets hot, without it turning into vapour, or reverse engineering itself)
Mix ratio 2 - 4% or better still, 1 - 4%, (to mix with petrol at manufacturer recommendations)
Amsoil Dominator has these values:
class API TC (??OK?)
Flash point 92C (too low)
visc @ 100C 7.6 (too thin)
VI 156 (OK)
So it fails my requirements at viscosity and flash point.
Just for comparison, here are the values for other oils:
Pennzoil Air Cooled:
class: API-TC
Flash Point: 104C
Viscosity@100C: 10.3
VI: 112
Redline Racing:
Class: API-TC
Flash point: 103C
viscosity@40C (can't find 100C): 76
VI: unknown
Can't find information on Belray H1R or MC1.
