Question for Amsoil Dealers

What is the inside information regarding the purchase of Amsoil products. Their website says you can buy at 'dealer pricing' for $20/month. Is this the true dealer pricing. Seems like dealers would get more of a break. I can't see a dealer being able to put much more of a markup on these products than whats on the webpage.

Second, what are the requirements for becoming a dealer. Do you pay an annual fee, are there minimum purchases, need a Federal ID, etc.

Sorry to ask here, but I didn't want to go through the registration without knowing what I was getting into.

Sorry that you read it wrong. $20.00 a year is the cost. Plus think you are a Dealer, every thing is a tax wright off, if you are a at home buisness. Your electric, water, part of your house ( but you really need to talk to a CPA too) The cost of Amsoil is cheaper that most synthetic oils (@whole sale) but there is so much more than that. It is a great way to get more people to change there way of thinking about motor oil. You need not to change it every 3000 miles. Amsoil puts it in writing. With oil does that. They are with the API with looks very close to make sure Amsoil is putting out what they say.


There's always plenty of support, never any hassles. No quotas to fill. No inventory requirements. You're your own boss. It's the ideal business opportunity.

You can establish commercial and retail accounts as well as sell to individuals. It's up to you: extra money, a full-time income or rock-bottom prices on AMSOIL products.

Plus you need not collect any money form any body, they call Amsoil with your ZO# and they pay Amsoil and you do nothing. Amsoil does all the work.


But if there is any thing I can help you with Please drop me a line.


Thanks and I hope this help.
Plus GM is coming out with a car that they say change your oil every 15,000 miles. That is what Amsoil has said for years. Maybe GM know what Amsoil knows now. Food for thought.

You didn't answer his question.. What % off is dealer pricing..
Actually most car manufactures already recommend somewhere between 5000 and 7500 mile change intervals for normal driving conditions..

Which oil is GM going to recommend to use with this car with 15k change intervals? I find it hard to believe they'd recommend an oil that's only available via mail-order..

Discount percentages vary by product, as well as by volume of product bought (cases of oil vice quarts, for example). When I became a 'dealer' I recall that buying $100 worth of oil by the case recovered the $20 fee (not including shipping, picked it all up at the distribution center). But I got ATF for two vehicles, differential fluid for two 4x4's, and enough oil and filters to last me for two years, so my savings were pretty substantial.

If you are sold on the product, and plan on buying more than an oil change, become a dealer. JMHO

Ironically, in Europe the auto manufacturers recommended drain intervals are from 12,000-18,000 miles using petroleum products, and are moving even higher. In the U.S., it has been published that auto manufacturers are also going to be moving toward extended drain intervals of up to 15,000 miles in the not too distant future. G.M. is currently moving toward a system that tells you when to change your oil based upon a computer program that evaluates your driving habits. Some other car companies are planning on having an on-board oil analyzer to tell you when to change your oil. This will allow for shorter drains for poorer quality oils and longer drains for higher quality oils, where G.M.’s system will not distinguish between the two. As these changes develop, so will the language in owner’s manuals as well as extended warranty policies.


There is a 22% discout from Retail and wholesale. That is for a case of 5w30. But you really want to know , become a dealer and you too will see the benefits, Good Luck

No one really answered my question. Do the registered dealers pay the same price as that on the webpage, or do they get a deeper discount. If so how much.

you didnt read then. You see the link that says dealer zone, that has all the prices discounted for the dealers on there. You can get a preferred customer membership for $10 for 6 months. Believe me that it will pay for itself on your first order of $60! you will get your $10 back and save $10 more than paying the normal retail price. So it is a $20 savings there. So buy $60 of products, comes out to like $43 on average.

Email me if you want a specific price on something.

Matt

On the corvette atleast, they've been recommending 15,000 mile oil change intrevals for the last couple years. Seems like they've raised to intrevals on there trucks aswell to 10,000.

Amsoil vs Other Synthetics

I am thinking of going to Amsoil for my oil changes (currenty use Mobil 1) based mostly on Amsoil's reputation. My question is more for the synthetic users: Is there a real difference btwn Amsoil and other syn oils?

Amsoil putts it in writing for the 25,000 miles oil changes.


AMSOIL INC. of Superior, Wisconsin, hereby warrants that its lubricants and lubricating fluids are capable of and suitable for meeting the specifications set forth in the AMSOIL Product Selection Guide, product data bulletins and written recommendations. It is the responsibility of the retailer, installer and/or purchaser to determine if these specifications are adequate and proper for the intended application.


AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 5W-30 with a conventional oil will shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 5W-30. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 5W-30.


If I can help in any way. Please feel free to drop me a line,


Thanks
Ronnie
