AMSOIL extended drain intervals means fewer oil changes, long term savings and convenience. Even if you drive only 12,000 miles per year, the cost for AMSOIL motor oil is less than you pay for petroleum oil now! And you still get better wear protection, lower engine temperatures, improved fuel efficiency and easier cold-weather starts.

All of these benefits add up to reduced operating costs and longer engine life. Change your oil and filter today and in 12 months change the oil and filter again. That’s it! What could be more convenient, while providing superior protection against engine wear?

A number of customers have asked about what impact the current economic turmoil is having on AMSOIL. Here are four observations addressing these current issues.

Regarding pricing of our products, the price of oil has recently fluctuated almost $30 per barrel in less than a 30 day time frame. This prevents oil and chemical providers from jumping on the bandwagon to change prices with 30 days notice due to the uncertainty of where things are going. To start moving costs downward will require a period of stability and lower oil prices. Even then, it will take some time for lower costs to work their way through inventories that can result in price decreases to AMSOIL that we can in turn offer to our customers.

AMSOIL has not been exempt from the high cost of raw materials for formulating its products. Nevertheless, on a percentage basis we’ve managed to hold the line on price increases to a greater extent than many of our competitors. As of this date the company still has not received a single price reduction on any of its raw materials even though the price of oil and gasoline seems to have fallen dramatically. There are several reasons for this. First, there are still supply issues for lubricant base stocks and additives due to the impact of hurricane Ike on refineries and chemical processing plants in Texas and Louisiana. Many of the refineries in the region were affected and some have still not restarted operations yet. As a result, prices remain high. Also, the volatility of crude oil has frozen the oil and chemical industries in place and prevented them from taking any pricing action. Customers can be confident that when it becomes possible to lower prices, AMSOIL will do the right thing.

AMSOIL products are right for the environment while still being right for our customers’ wallets. Longer drain intervals and better fuel economy add up to savings you won’t find with any other motor oil. Convenience, protection, less waste, more miles per gallon... it’s all good, for you and the world you live in.
