Looking to see who knows the best price for amsoil?

 

what are you lookin to get? i get dealer prices

 

find a dealer and make him your buddy. or you can become one.

 

The last vehicle I had ran amsoil its entire life, first owner drained the factory oil and used amsoil at 29 miles when he brought it home. Engine only made it to 189k miles before it spun a bearing... It was a 3.5l v6 from chrysler that was supposed to be "such a great engine!".. MAJOR PIECE OF *****!. I had the vehicle for about 2 weeks before the engine spun the bearing.. I am a FIRM believer in NOT using amsoil now! But if you insist on running it, then I would look for someone who deals it. If you feel like coming to beatrice Nebraska I know a guy that can hook you up for a decent price, but I'm sure you could find better.

 

you can get dealer prices for about $20 a year. you just find a local dealer and get signed up with them. and you cant go off what big-ugly had happen to him. oil wasnt the cause of a spun bearing.

 

The names Brandon, and I won't let that crap within 100 feet of any of my vehicles anymore, not even the chevy I have that I am WAITING to die!

 

Id say 189k out of a mitsu/dodge is a miracle anyway.

 

ya well, I know a guy who had a battery blow up in his face. Does that mean we should all quit using batteries? No, you had one bad experience not oil related that you blame your oil for. Doesn't mean others shouldn't use it. Especially since there's people who have run hundreds od thousand miles with no such isues

 

All I know is I want no part of any MLM products.

 

^ Could you elaborate on that statement?

 

29 miles is way too early to put that in. need 500-1000

 

I'd say a MAJOR miracle!!!!!!!!!

 

Multi-level marketing. It drives up costs for a casual retail buyer, and encourages you to become a dealer yourself for the cost savings, plus you can try to sell it to close friends or family members to make a little money. Then you also get bonuses for signing up other dealers, and get a small percentage of the sales they make. I was considering becoming a dealer until I found out how the sales system was set up...and you can see that most of the cost comes from markup because of the number of middle-men. To me, it seems like Amsoil is a good product, but is not truly as good as its dealers claim; it's no miracle oil.

There are other products set up like this...Mona Vie comes to mind. You have to ask yourself...if this product was really this good...wouldn't it be available in every parts store? There is too much money to be made through the sales food chain to supply directly to big chain stores for a bulk discount.

 

I've tested my amsoil after 20k miles at an independent tester and they say the oil is still holding up. That sounds good to me.

 

Right, I understand what it is. Their prices are inline with comparable products(Redline, Royal Purple.) I have bought Amsoil products for the ATV directly from Amsoil online, and gear oil for the truck from an independent dealer. Royal Purple off the shelf at a nation wide auto parts store cost the same or more.

Plenty of people make a living as "middle men" and I don't see anything wrong with it as long as in the end, the price accurately reflects the product, IMHO. Which, in this case I think it does.
