AMSOIL has been offering the finest synthetic, extended drain lubricants and high efficiency filters since the early 70's.

Their oils are guaranteed for 25,000 miles or one year in any mechanically sound, non-turbo, gas engine. Diesels, turbos and older engines will generally have somewhat shorter, although still extended, change interval recommendations.

Even individuals can easily get AMSOIL products at wholesale, and you don't have to be a dealer to do it. For just $10, you can set up with a Preferred Customer account over the phone, in a few minutes. On that very same phonecall you can begin ordering AMSOIL products at wholesale (20-25% off the retail price).

Wholesale price on many of our most popular 25,000 mile oils is just a hair over $4.50 per quart. Actual pricing examples can be found in a reply later in this topic (just scroll down the page a bit).

Interested?

I understand the discount avail to us due to the fact that its coming in at wholesale and such. But nowhere do I see any prices quotes for anything.

Are the item prices in your pdf forms maybe?

 

Maybe this will give you a better idea.

Our standard 25,000 mile synthetic 5w30, 10w30 and 10w40 retail for $5.85 per quart. Wholesale is $4.55 per quart.

Those oils are strong performers for normal drivers. If you're a performance driver or you're driving a Honda that is calling for the 5w20 grade oil, we have two other oils you might want to consider:

Our XL7500 5w20 is a very good synthetic, but is designed for shorter drains of 6 months or 7500 miles and is not for the performance user, necessarily.

This oil is designed for people who trying to "go by the book". If their vehicle calls for 5w20 and they are trying to adhere to the manual, then they are probably also going to try to adhere to the drain interval recommendations (even though, legally, they don't have to adhere to either RECOMMENDATION).

So, this oil is a little less expensive and is designed for shorter drains. It's still a very good synthetic with top-notch specs (just check them out), and some folks might even try running it for added horsepower, but it's not designed for that purpose.

Retail cost would be $5.20, while the wholesale would be $3.95. It's not a huge price break, but it is about 60 cents per quart less.


The alternative for high performance drivers or those who just want a better oil to fit those 5w20 applications, is our Series 2000 0w30 oil. It is actually a perfectly acceptable replacement for the 5w20 recommendation (as is a 5w30 for that matter), but this oil is a top-notch performer.

It is a LONG drain oil (35,000 miles or one year) with serious fuel efficiency and horsepower gain capability. If you're looking for better mileage or more horsepower for racing, this is the oil you want. Best way to get serious performance without sacrificing protection capability.

However, you definitely pay for it.

Retail is $8.35 per quart, while wholesale is $6.45.


Of course, you can purchase 12 quart cases, gallon jugs, 4 gallon cases, 2.5 gallon jugs, 5 gallon cases, etc. depending upon the oil. Larger quantities and sizes will get you somewhat better pricing.


Also, we have long drain synthetic tranny fluids, gear lubes, greases, 2-cycle oils, hydraulic oils, compressor oils, etc. for your other applications.

Hope this helps clarify things a bit.

 

I swear by this stuff! I won a case at a track event and have used it ever since. I even followed Amsoil's recommended oil/filter change intervals. I did an oil analysis at the 6month mark where you only change the filter and the analysis came back excellent. (an independent co. analyzes the metal content of the oil sample you send them. Different metals and amounts tell you what and where any problems may be, if any) I am going to do another analysis at the 12th month mark. I only drive about 10k miles a year but I drive my Teg hard. You will feel a difference immediately! So far 9 mos on the same oil and it feels just like it did when I first put it in, nice and smooth.

I liked it so much I became a dealer too and got my friend to become one as well. Luckily I live in Dallas, not far from an Amsoil Warehouse so I can run and pick up the stuff easily instead of shipping.

If you change your oil and filter 3-4 times a year using Mobil 1 do the math and you'll see why Amsoil is very cost effective with one oil change a year and a filter change at 6 mos. You're looking at about $41 for the Amsoil for a year. And they guarantee the oil and the safety of your engine 100%. I know it's hard to change your mind set about oil change intervals but give it a try and you'll become hooked like I did.

They have never had a claim since the the co's inception in 1972. How's that for quality!

to Amsoil and klawncare1239!

(sorry, I think I just became a commercial in your thread! But that's how hyped I am about this stuff!)

 

can i get a quote of 10/40 5 quarts shipped to 93246

 

For only 5 quarts, I don't think you'd benefit from the Preferred Customer or Dealer programs, since you'd pay as much or more for your account setup as you would save with wholesale pricing.

As such, 5 quarts 10w40 High Performance at the retail price of $5.85 would run $29.25 plus tax and freight (yes, AMSOIL charges tax on all orders).

Freight would run $6.70.

So, you're looking at $35.95 plus tax.

However, you could get a case of 12, which, in most cases, would get you two oil changes plus plenty of top off oil, for $52.20 (under the Preferred Customer program) plus $8.25 for freight plus your $10 for a six month PC membership.

So, you'd pay $70.45 for 12 quarts vs. $35.95 (more than half) for only 5 quarts.

Maybe you're really not sure of the quality of the AMSOIL product, which is why you want to stick to a lesser quantity (or maybe you just don't have the money, which isn't all that uncommon).

If it's a quality issue, just check the specs. For the money, I'd put our 10w40 against any other oil out there spec for spec (flashpoint, pourpoint, CCS, NOACK, HT/HS, Viscosity Index, TBN, 4 Ball). There MIGHT be oils that could "beat" us on one or two specs, but certainly never on the majority of the critical specifications you should be looking at. And, they certainly aren't going to guarantee a 25,000 mile oil drain interval for you.

As of Aug. 2003 I compared well over 30 petroleum and synthetic oils using the technical specifications right from the manufacturers and only 2 or 3 oils even held a candle to our 10w40 specs, and they ALL cost at least $2 to $3 more per quart than our retail cost (Mobil 1 MX-4T - specific to motorcycles, Redline and NEO).

Anyway, hope that helps.

 

Bump.

Mobil 1 customer? Take a look at the following comparison, and you'll see why so many people are switching to AMSOIL:

http://bestsyntheticoil.com/am...L.pdf

How about the "rest of the field":

http://bestsyntheticoil.com/am...shtml

 

Amsoil sounds like some good **** but 25,000miles . But I would probalby try it in the future for 6-10k miles. Ive seen test analysist from customers and users and it hold up well for over 10k miles

 

All depends on the vehicle. AMSOIL's guaranteed mileage claim is for an engine that is basically in excellent running condition. Unfortunately, many people THINK their vehicle is in such condition, when it actually isn't.

Excessive blow-by, coolant in the oil, a bad PCV valve, poor oil/air/fuel filtration ... All of these issues can result in oil that is due for a change before it ordinarily would be.

The best thing to do, in the long run, is to flush the engine, put in the AMSOIL and then do an oil analysis at the first recommended filter change at 12,500 miles or six months (if using an AMSOIL filter). If the oil is still looking good, do another analysis when it comes time to change the oil at 25,000 miles.

Yes, it will be more expensive, but a complete oil analysis can tell you a GREAT deal about the condition of your engine, not just your oil. It can tell you if you have poor ring seal (or at least can tell you that you ought to be checking for it), whether you might have a bad head gasket, if your filtration is sub-par, if you have any areas of excessive wear (resulting in high wear metals in the oil) that might be due to oil pump, oil cooler, turbo problems, etcetra.

It's well worth it to know just what the condition of your engine is. In addition, it will tell you EXACTLY how long your oil should remain good in your engine based upon your current driving habits. If all conditions are right in your engine and you're not necessarily racing the engine or anything, YES, by all means, 25,000 miles or one year is a drain interval I would expect.

However, you certainly wouldn't be the first of my customers that couldn't bring themselves to go that long on a change. Can't say that it really works out bad for me. Just means I get to sell more oil.

How about if you are racing an engine how long should you go without changing it?
Also you should of posted this thread on the Performance insted on here since this is a Appearance forum?

 

That's a tough question, TechRider, because there can be so many variables that come into play. How often do you race? What type of racing are you doing? Etc.

I would say if you do much racing with the vehicle and it is driven for everyday type use as well, you might consider cutting your standard recommended drain interval in half, no matter what oil you're using (unless you choose to utilize oil analysis to establish the condition of the oil). It's a tough call.

There are guys down in Southern Texas and Arizona using AMSOIL 0w30 for racing, and they'll race every week and not change the oil for a season or two (and oil analysis backs those change intervals). However, these guys aren't using these same vehicles for everyday use as well.

Again, we're talking about a vehicle that is likely a major investment for you. For me to pull some number out of the air for you would really be pretty irresponsible of me. There's no way to know for sure.

But, as I said, if you race much at all, to be safe, it would be a good idea to cut our standard recommended interval in half, just as I would recommend no matter what oil you're using, unless you've got oil analysis results to indicate that this is premature.

 

I like to road race on occassion and drive the car hard on the streets but I don't put a whole lot of miles poer year on the car. Since I use Amsoil's 5/30 I go by the months. But if I were to go by the mileage, instead of changing the filter at 12.5k miles I'd do it at about 9-10k miles depending on how hard I ran it or raced it. And then do an oil sample analysis. Then at about the 20k mile or 10-12 mo mark I'd change the filter and oil. Then do another oil analysis to make sure everything is good internally.

I know it takes a leap of faith since we have all been programmed to follow the 3k mile/3 mos change interval. (And in some cases on newer cars even with dino oil they recommend 7500 mile change intervals.) That's why the oil analysis is important, especially if it's your first time using it. It helps to reassure you that the oil is performing at it's best. And believe me, after my wife hydrlocked my old engine taking the leap of faith on my new engine wasn't an easy thing to do. But I did and I can't be happier.

Ya know how a car feels when you first change the oil? It's revs very freely and feels smooth. Well, I've had the oil in my crankcase for going on 10 mos and it still feels that way. I've only changed the Amsoil filter at 6 mos. and topped off the oil after taking the oil sample. I've had some oil consumption but that's normal for all oils, synth or not. I had that with Mobil 1 as well.

So all I can say is try it once. Even if you decide to change the oil and filter at 6 mos/12.5k miles, you are still saving money.

My friend and I are working with a drag racer on possibly supplying them with Amsoil for a season. We will no doubt do the oil anaylsis on that car if we can work this out with him.

 

i have a 98 gsr, what oil filter should be used with the amsoil 25k thingy..i may have missed it sounds good, im tired of changin oil every 3k gettin dirty and spending $30

 

Does amsoil have other products for autos also?


How does it react with Lucas?

 

AMSOIL offers gas engine oils, diesel engine oils, gear lubes, tranny fluids, greases, hydraulic fluids, compressor oils and two-cycle oils.

All of these products are 100% synthetic and offer extended change interval capability (except 2-cycle, of course, but we offer leaner mix ratios up to 100:1).

We also offer high efficiency oil and air filters and appearance products.

Although I'm not a big fan of Lucas, our products are compatible with Lucas products.

 

i wish i could just buy 5 quarts , dont need a case

 

Although you can use any filter you like with AMSOIL and still get the extended change intervals, other brand filters should be changed more often (every 3 to 5 months or 6 to 8,000 miles or so, whichever comes first). This make sure you've always got clean filter media and also allows you to top off the system with a half quart of oil or so to boost the additive package.

If you're running the AMSOIL SDF oil filter, then the recommended change interval is 12,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first.

What is the current filter you're running? I can cross it over to an AMSOIL equivalent.

 

You can purchase just 1 quart, if you like, you just end up getting beaten up with shipping a little.

If all you were going to order was 5 quarts and didn't anticipate ordering too much more oil over the course of the next year, then a Preferred Customer membership wouldn't make much sense for you.

As a result, retail pricing for you would be $5.85 per quart (for most of our oils) plus tax and freight. Freight on a 5 quart order would be in the $7.00 range.

 

how much is it to join the prefered customer program

 

and how much is a case ,are there 10 quarts in a case?

pm me some figures

how much to join and how much for a case of 10w 40 and a filter for a 99 civic ex shipped to 94596

 

12 quarts to a case (which provides a couple of extra quarts for top-off between oil changes). Retail for 5w30, 10w30 or 10w40 is $69.00 per case. Preferred Customer/Dealer price is $52.20.

You can set up a six month trial Preferred Customer membership for $10.

Shipping on a case is about $8 to anywhere in the continental US. There would be tax as well (AMSOIL charges tax no matter where the item is shipped).

Unless your vehicle is a VIN Code F 1590cc, your AMSOIL oil filter would be an SDF20 which prices out at $8.80 wholesale and $11.55 retail.

Adding one filter to your order brings your shipping closer to $8.50. Two filters bumps it close to $9 for freight.
