Find out why oil change specialists are choosing the AMSOIL 7500-Mile/Six-Month Oil Change Program.

12 Reasons Your Shop Should Carry AMSOIL!

1. Higher Profit Potential...

AMSOIL synthetic motor oil is a premium product that commands a premium price.  Consumers expect to pay more for a higher quality product, and the retail profit margins allow oil change specialists to charge more.

Estimated Profit to Quick Lube Account

Profits per customer will vary based on prices and overhead calculations. AMSOIL recommends a markup of 2 to 21⁄2 times the normal petroleum-based oil change pricing.
For example:

	CURRENT 3000-MILE OIL CHANGE	AMSOIL 7500-MILE OIL CHANGE
Oil Change Price	$27.75	$54.95
Less Oil Cost	$7.95	$20.50
Less Filter Cost	$4.88	$4.88
Less Labor Cost	$8.32	$8.32
Gross Profit	$6.60	$21.25

YOUR ANNUAL PROFIT PER CUSTOMER
Typical Recommended Oil Change:
$6.60 x 5 oil changes = $33.00
What your customers actually do = $17.82*
AMSOIL XL $21.25 x 2 = $42.50

* According to major oil company data, the average consumer changes their oil 2.7 times per year. With AMSOIL, two oil changes per year enables you to earn more money than five oil changes, and nearly twice as much as the typical 2.7. As an added benefit, customers’ cars have better protection with AMSOIL XL.
Note: The filters you currently use are sufficient for the duration of the complete service interval recommended by the automobile manufacturer. Premium filters are available from AMSOIL if you want to offer them to your customers for an additional charge.

Busy quick lubes that are already operating at capacity can potentially see twice as many customers since they only need to see them half as often to make the same or greater profit.

2. Satisfies Customer Wants

GM customer interest surveys indicate that motorists desire the convenience of extended oil drain intervals.  Now you can offer with confidence the convenience of 7500-mile/six month oil changes.

With regards to wear protection, fuel economy and high and low temperature performance, there is no better motor oil on the market than AMSOIL

Customers Save, Too

Not only do lube shops make more money with the AMSOIL XL7500Program, customers save money and experience more convenience with the same program.

	CURRENT 3000-MILE OIL CHANGE	AMSOIL 7500-MILE OIL CHANGE
Oil Change Price	$27.75 x 5	$54.95 x 2
Annual Cost @ 15,000 miles	$138.75	$109.90

We encourage you to display this kind of comparison for your customers when asking them if they would prefer coming in 5 times a year for a 3000-mile/3-month oil change or twice a year for a 7500-mile/6-month Premium Oil Change. The answer should be obvious. All numbers based on 15,000 miles per year utilizing typical values extracted from current research.

3. Leadership Products...

In 1972, AMSOIL became the world's first API certified and fully sequence tested synthetic motor oil for automotive applications.  To this day, AMSOIL product performance is second to none.

4. Technical Service and Support...

AMSOIL has a wide array of technical literature and sales tools to assist you with educating your employees and customers with regard to the benefits of synthetic lubrication.  Every account also has a personal Servicing Dealer who is able to provide assistance and insight when needed, as well as send customers your way.

5. Increased Business...

Many lube shops are seeking ways to gain a competitive advantage. AMSOIL’s superior lubricant products will give you an edge in your market.  AMSOIL also carries dozens of additional performance and car care products that can increase your bottom line.

Once lube centers start handling AMSOIL, new and profitable programs emerge that include extended diesel drains for Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesels, Ford Power Strokes, and Chevrolet DuraMax diesel engines, AMSOIL Synthetic ATF exchanges, and synthetic gear lube services for differentials and transmissions.

6. Provides Security...

Even though you recommend 3,000-mile oil change intervals, the truth is people do not change their oil as frequently as they should.  Harsh engine conditions cause petroleum oils to degrade far more quickly than synthetics.  You will not need to worry about your customers’ vehicles if they stretch their intervals beyond what is recommended and neither will they.  AMSOIL synthetic motor oil provides long-term protection.

AMSOIL offers warranty coverage for its products when used as recommended in mechanically sound engines.

7. Broad Product Line

AMSOIL specializes in manufacturing a wide range of fuel efficient, long life lubricants for all manner of applications.  In addition to motor oils, AMSOIL markets synthetic automatic transmission fluid, gear lubes, hydraulic and compressor oils. greases, as well as a family of filtration products for every kind of application.

The AMSOIL product line includes excellent fuel additives, biodegradable antifreeze and a family of automotive care products.  Ask to see our G-290 product catalog.

8. Less Waste Oil...

Our program not only reduces disposal costs, it also cuts down on the time devoted to managing oil and filter disposal processes.  These benefits flow directly to your bottom line.

Extending oil drain intervals has significant environmental benefits, the most obvious being less waste oil and filters in the disposal system.

9. Low Cost Start-Up...

AMSOIL products are an add-on product line that opens up increased profits without significant risk.  Profit-minded operators soon recognize their earnings potential with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils.

10. An Ideal Match...

AMSOIL products are an ideal match for any lube business. By offering both already-stocked products and AMSOIL products, lube shop operators can satisfy the full range of customer lubricant needs.  Some customers and their vehicles are not candidates for premium synthetic motor oils, and some passenger car owners are concerned only with initial price rather than long term value. For these customers, you’ll still want to be sure to have standard motor oil on hand. With AMSOIL products, however, you can now offer quality-conscious customers a high quality alternative to their traditional lube service.

11.  Advertising and Promotional Support...

Four important trends that will impact tomorrow’s passenger car market

Trend Toward Performance...

Drastic changes in engine design, with their smaller, hotter engine compartments, tighter tolerances and emissions standards have placed higher demands on lubricants. At the same time, vehicle manufacturers seek extended drains, cleaner engines, improved fuel economy, reduced oil consumption and better wear protection.  One industry analyst has speculated that as increasing numbers of baby boomers enter their peak earning years, 90 percent of all cars on the road will be high performance vehicles.

The Trend Toward Extended Drain Intervals...

Europe currently maintains a minimum 9,000-mile drain interval and is preparing for longer drain intervals. Indeed, GM’s patented Oil Life System (OLS) eschews the 3,000-mile standard altogether, telling motorists to instead rely on an oil monitor that assesses an oil’s life. This monitor consistently recommends oil changes at more than twice the 3,000-mile standard (and this is in vehicles using conventional petroleum oil).AMSOIL XL synthetic motor oils have a service life of 7,500 miles or six months, which ever comes first (or longer when relying on factory-installed oil monitoring systems.)

The Trend Toward Synthetic Motor Oils...

The quest for “more, better, faster” has made an impact on every industry. As a result, high technology synthetic motor oils like AMSOIL have found increasing acceptance in every facet of American industry. A major consciousness shift is occurring as Americans become more selective in their purchasing, focusing more on performance than price. The rapid growth in sales of synthetic lubricants is directly related to its superior performance capabilities.

The Continuing Environmental Trend...

Government regulations and rising consumer awareness will continue to drive the push for environmentally friendly improvements in the industry. Extended oil drain capabilities are already being aggressively pursued in Europe, placing greater demands on oil formulators to improve the quality of their products. AMSOIL offers a model program that lube center operators can embrace which is not only environmentally wise, but economically suited for profit-mindedness as well.
