This company is deeply American. They ship with union labor at UPS which is historically AMERICAN. They buy local and support small businesses while also allowing people to start their own small business by becoming a dealer. They're not publically traded and that speaks to the integrity of the company!
Amsoil for me since 78. Lifetime Dealer. I have tried all motor oils. Amsoil pushed big oil to make a better product. Consumers owe Amsoil a Thank You for driving the market. I think the hurdle that has been finally overcame is the word “synthetic.” For years overcoming all the false statements reguarding synthetic oil. Big oil loved selling people conventional oil, Amsoil pressed them to do better. I have used their products starting in my dirt bike when I was 14. I have heard every excuse not to use it. Over 40 years later I have never regretted using it or recommending it.
I will have Amsoil in every thing !! I have been sold 7 years ago and never been better care to the parts I use amsoil in I 100 % trust and I have been the auto industry starting in 1988 to present
In May of 2020, a new standard for motor oils will be required by the government. This will be much better oil than anything being sold currently, including Amsoil. It will clean better, protect better and give better gas mileage compared to all currently selling motor oil. That's the oil to buy!
James Koralewski are you referring to the 0-16 viscosity rating being pushed? You’re speaking very vaguely. Please specify so I can research what claims your making, or post the link please?
This oil actually fix the vvti start up noise in my Toyota Avalon, switch from 0w20 to 0w30, I recommend this oil 200 percent, I also recomend the Amsoil filters, excellent filtration,
I'm not joking, I put amsoil metric in my race bike 3 days ago, I drove it like I regulary do. Instant smoother shifting, less vibrations, it also runs cooler. The next day it took the front wheel up abit by itself first time since I drive it, and now 3 days 150 miles later it just made the front wheel fly up beast mode twice unexpected . I am convinced the oil makes the engine extremely happy, as I didnt full throttle it even and it went up so easy, I didn't have that snappyness and power before! Now I just need to find some Amsoil decals to put on my bike as I am convinced and want to share the power.
I have been using it in my Harley for years. There is none better. I just picked up an 08 GoldWing. One of the selling points was that the owner ONLY used Ams in this bike. In fact, he gave me a kit for my next oil change. (Oil and filter)
I order it right off the website, comes to my door in 3 days lol. I order in bulk, so I am not waiting for oil when I want to do an oil change. I put it in my Duramax, my wife's Tahoe, and my Chevy Express work van. It's worth a little extra money to buy American, and for piece of mind for my vehicles!
I like the products, but what are the materials from which synthetic lubricants are made from. In other words, what are the raw materials used to "create" the lubricants?
jesus miranda harder to find the Pennzoil Ultra-Platinum than Amsoil. Amsoil comes right to my door free shipping. The local Fleet Farm store also sells Amsoil.
This is all I use in my 2018 super duty & all my power equipment I get the amsoil for small engines also the new 0W16 for the 2019 Camry. I also use the bar oil in the German saws. Plus amsoil oil filters. I cut them apart and see what’s going on if anything. I get free shipping fast shipping.
I've heard truckers love this stuff and it does well even on the 25k change....but in the vid it said "Under normal driving conditions" i'm wonder if Amsoil can even sit back and has no worries if it can even go 30k under normal loads.
I am meticulous when it comes to vehicle maintenance and I'm planning on driving my vehicles forever. That's why I'm running signature series exclusively. Best quality and American made. What more do you need? Best quality because it's American made I'd what I should have said! 😁
hi, i want to know that if i use AMSOIL 5w30 for my diesel car, is there any benefit to add Liqy moly MOS2 in it, or pouring mos2 in amsoil will damage / worsen engine oil quality or no benifit .
No matter what they say amsoil has the exact same rating by the api as Mobil 1 heck even super tech Walmarts brand. Amsoil has the exact same selling techniques as amway
@@coldcoilinc it has the rating but it far exceeds the specifications than those oils. I’d rather have something that is guaranteed to protect than something that’s closer to “bare minimum”
@@coldcoilinc it meets and exceeds API. All oils meet API but do you think they are all the same? There are numerous people testing oils on RU-vid, and Amsoil almost always comes out on top.
I should have majored in lubrication. It interests me so much that I could have made good enough grades to hopefully be able to get a job at Amsoil. To late now. I’m 65.
My business kept 5 to 8 p/u trucks in service for 22 years. Using Amsoil and Amsoil filters some of the vehicles exceeded 400,000 mi. Compression tests when possible showed engines were like new even on the highest mileage units. Proof enough for the most critical individuals of the superior performance of Amsoil lubricants. Note: These units were NOT equipped with the superior by pass filters but with std. spin on only! Change intervals on some of these units went 35,000 miles.
I've been using Amsoil since about 1984. I've friends who WON'T use it because there is no API SunBurst certification seal on the bottles. Unfortunate for them. I use it in both my cars, one being a 7000 rpm V8 and my lawn tractor. But, I can't use it in the differential as there's no equivalent to GM's LS lube for the Getrag units. And there's no transaxle recommendation for my Mazda3. This needs to change quickly.
They do have a fluid that meets both of those specs. There is no Starburst on the bottle because it costs over $300,000 to have it certified and the ingredients have to be disclosed. Amsoil's formulations are proprietary and their warranty covers it.
Its made a believer of me but its just soo expensive and if you change you motor oil every 5-10K what is it going to help over something like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum?
@@dalephillips8250 I am comfortable with most all (major brands) engine oil life claims. When you start talking 10k miles and above, I start to worry more about the oil filter.
"flat six productions". Somebody a Corvair fan? The Corvair Corsa Turbo is probably the hardest engine on oil there is. Oil temp can reach 320f, head temp 525, loose clearances, runs rich and a turbo.
I used Amsoil in my past 2 vehicles changing oil every 5k miles, I was first owner of this vehicles and I traded them in @ about 30k miles each, I never noticed any gas economy, or any other benefits, one of those cars had a ecoboost engine and was the same noisy loud engine before and after Amsoil. Since I change my car every 2 or 3 years this cars where relatively new so I cant really tell any Amsoil benefits, in my particular case changing the cars often I consider Amsoil a waste of money and inconvenient order online, time, shipping cost, etc, now im going to Walmart and buy Mobil 1 synthetic for half of the money and get the same results.
How’s it made? Overpriced within certain areas of application. For example, take their 5w40 diesel oil. If you pay attention to the fine print you’ll see that AMSOIL recommends OEM service intervals rather than extended drain intervals. I can spend nearly half the price on Rotella T6 every 5k miles of severe duty and oil analysis shows Rotella performing great with plenty of TBN left. Psh, unreal how expensive their oil is.
Amsoil is great but still a bit overpriced, as I'm ny own mechanic/tech I don't pay for labor just parts, penzoil platinum synthetic is a really great oil as well and it's $20 for 5qt jug from Walmart which is hard to beat performance/$$$ ratio, until Amsoil comes down a bit in price they will deffinetly not see me as a costuner. Even with their vip subscription for i believe $20 a year or whatever it is you still need to spend over $100 to get free shipping, I understand that Mobil1 ia garbage but tgey do have to understand that there's other very good reliable options for Very good long lasting Sybtgetic oil out there for fraction of $ of Amsoil, as Lab report of my last oil(Penzoil Platinum Synthetic 5w30) from my L96 GMC Savana 3500 van from 7k miles reports were excellent and as per lab reports stikl had 40% of life left on it
This is the same issues I have with it. I do feel it is the best but if you change oil every 5K...how much is it benefiting you? I'm scared to go 25K because they say you always get "fuel dilution" in gasoline motors so that means trace amounts of fuel is getting into the oil over time....how long should you let that happen before the oil breaks down?
I am fresh to using amsoil. O decided to go with the oe line only because my car is brand new and under warranty. But being old school so to speak. I can’t see going 8 to 10 thousand miles between oil changes. I’m sure the oil is well capable of this. But not having access to being able to test the oil, I looked in my manual and will fallow the severe guide lines. As I do tow with it some times. But it says service every 6,000. Which I’m more comfortable with. And i still save money with amsoil over other brands providing I do the 3,000 mile change.
o1mtbiker you can purchase the oil analysis from Amsoil with postage included. They also sell the pump and hose to suck it outta the engine. That is the only way to see if it’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing. You may have a dealer in your area. Just check the Amsoil dealer locator on their website. Best of luck
Victor hobson yes I understand that. But I guess I’m not willing to spend 30 bucks to have my oil checked while still in use to save 15. On the other hand having it tested every year for checking wear on the engine isn’t a bad idea.
buzuxi I could be wrong. But this is what I found. Amsoil is 100% synthetic base using Group 4 in all of its automotive oils and Group 5 in its food safe grease and lubricants. The only product that it builds that is not 100% synthetic is the Bar and Chain oil.
Joel Watkins you do realize they sell this stuff in a pyramid style scheme similar to amway. Second you said cheap stuff the have the exact API rating as walmarts super tech. The API tests all of these products. Go ahead and don't change your oil when the car manufacturer says and if you have an engine problem you will quickly find out the warranty is voided
I don't care what it says on the bottle about changing oil oil brakes down synthetic or conventional it doesn't matter it breaks down. so after 3000 miles change the oil if it was so good race cars wouldn't change oil after every race would they?
You’re crazy. Their upper management is very small compared to what you would see at Exxon Mobile or Valvoline, Pennzoil/Shell, etc. Their product is superior to all the others. There is a cost to the base oils, additives and detergents Amsoil uses. It really is not that expensive compared to Mobile 1. You don’t even have to pay retail for it if you’re smart.
I would love to know if every drop of the oil AMZOIL processes actually comes out of the oil wells in the USA ? Or is there any Canadian oil mixed in with it? Its a product that is not truly made in the USA if they are using any oil from Canada!
@@curtishouseman9542 True. My point is AMZOIL like to tell people it's all 100% oil from American wells. America imports 40% of its oil from Canada 🇨🇦 I just wonder if there is actualy any Canadian oil in it or if it's 100% American oil.
Your right the oil comes out of the ground in Texas and it’s way better the the oil that comes out of the ground in Canada. I know USA and Canada are close but once you step over the line into USA the dirt and oil is way better lol
@@EddieErion929 You might be right! Do you know the USA imports more oil from Canada then any other country in the world? We also send alot of electric power to new York state from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec!
@@ridds777 I was just in the Utube video about it being an ALL AMERICAN product. Plus America imports more oil from Canada then any other country in the world. Plus I am not happy about America wanting pipelines from Canada and then canceling them costing us billions.
I dont know how much your getting Mobil 1 for, but I always see it as the same price as mobil 1 or more. None of that even takes in consideration the 1yr/25k mile range the oil can do as well.
@@PCGoblin Walmart has Mobil 1 in a 5 quart jug for $23.00 which is about $4.60/quart. How does that compare to what Amsoil sells their signature series oil for?
@@markkauffman6184 Amsoil does not have 5 qt jugs, but they do have 1 gallon jugs for $39.25. So about $9.81. So in this instance the mobil 1 is way cheaper. With that being said, I wouldnt trust the mobil 1 from wal-mart to go the 10k it says it will. But I will trust amsoil to go the 15k it says that it will go.
@@PCGoblin not trying to argue or anything, but did you do a used oil analysis on Mobil 1 where it tested poorly? While it is a different version of Mobil 1, I had used oil analysis done on the annual protection Mobil 1 and it tested good after 20,000 miles.
Free Amsoil and let it be sold in big name stores. I refuse to have to buy oil only sold by pyramid scheme methods. If I liked this way of sales, I would have bought Amway products, and I never did or never will. FREE AMSOIL and allow the price competition to bring the selling price to a more reasonable level.
It is not a pyramid scheme. You can buy it right on their website. Shipped to your door free. Much more convenient than going to a shitty Wal-Mart or overpriced auto parts store.
Only difference is Amaya products were and are crap. I sold them and it was 100 percent pyramid, you only made money by bringing others into the pyramid. Amsoil is not a pyramid and their product is at the top of the market. I wouldn't say they are the best, but tied for the best. Their dealers make money on their own, they don't have to recruit others. If Gale Banks did a video on them, you know it's the real deal.
@@zackzander425 me personally I like the way they sell there product I have a dealer for amsoil that lives in my area always gives great service and answers any questions
I have been in the retail business, and your comments are definitely understandable from a consumer point of view. The reality is, most shops will not sell Amsoil because they need at least 100% markup. Yes, when I looked at my supplier lists, the cheapest markup was 114%. When I bought Amsoil at wholesale prices, their markup is no where close to that. The only way for Amsoil to match their competitor's price is to match their competitors quality. Thankfully they do not do that. Many times you get what you pay for. But when I sold other oils in my shop, I can tell you, you get a very cheap oil at a huge markup.
I am considering using Amsoil in my "new" 1999 Camry XLE. Its only got 84k orig miles, and I drive 400+ miles per week, 90% high speed highway driving. I currently use Mobil 1 but would like to extend my oil change intervals (I hate working on cars in winter). The few problems I see are initial cost and all Toyotas do drink oil to some degree, so I would need to replenish a half qt. every week or so, thus making it even more expensive. Also, what oil filter and where do I buy it at a good price?
Amsoil - we are very dedicated to making sure our raw materials meet our very high quality standards... 1:14 - Amsoil again... The cheapest computer known to man... The Taiwanese “ACER”. And yes you are absolutely right. It is the very same “ACER” that you are thinking about... you know which one... the same exact one that you can pick up, at any good ol’ Walmart, while you do your weekly grocery shopping for pennies on the dollar!!! 😂 😂 😂 💯 💯 💯 Bwahahahahahahaha.
Dan,and Dean this formulation is how you get product for sale. I will ask you point blank how much of this formulation is petroleum oil??? Or is this one hundred percent synthetic oil formulated for sale in your 5 W 30 AMSOIL. Your formulation is listed as secret? IS AMSOIL 100% SYNTHEIC OIL OR NOT? Awaiting answer to the Public
Nowhere on the bottle correct me if I'm wrong does it say as it mostly does " made in USA ", maybe made elsewhere and blended in US i assume. Anyways cheers from OZ.
@@victorhobson5078 it used to say "100% PAO" PAO is group IV. While it still contains a large amount of PAO, they no longer say what the exact mixture is. As for Group V, not all group V are created equal.
@@Tcho2100 Go and get a preferred customer membership from Amsoil. You get discounted prices for like 20$ a year. That's what I do and pay the same prices as a dealer.
First because of how they market their Signature series is 300% more expensive ($16.29 a quart) than their competition. But it is only marginally better. I bought Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at Walmart at $4.86 a quart. Second, I don't want a 25,000 mile changeout. I'll stick with 5,000 miles. Third, Their premium oil isn't tested and certified by the API as GF-6A or even GF-5A. They claim it meets both specs but they haven't submitted it for testing. On the other hand their two lower tier oils which are XL and OE series were both submitted and tested by the API and both are GF-6A certified. Why? What are they hiding? As of today their Signature Series is $16.29 a quart, the XL is $13.09 a quart and the OE series is $9.99 a quart. I"m wondering if it's all the same stuff and you are just paying a premium for the label? In any case a couple of days ago I asked Project Farm to test all three against each other and see if their premium stuff is really premium. I'm hoping they will do so.
The additives. They don’t tell us what percentage of those are not synthetic. Yeah the base stock is but a good 10-20% is additive, so I doubt 100% of what’s in that bottle is synthetic.
Go online, create an account and order away as a preferred customer.... You rack up points and have access to everything they sell.... If you’re a preferred customer and you spend over $100 on any given order it’s free shipping as well.... It’s easy, quick and I’ve never had an issue with an order in over 8 years!!
Why is Amsoil afraid to sell their oil in auto stores or other stores like Walmart. It is kind of sleazy to only sell through dealers, just middlemen to make more profit for the company.
I have been in the retail business, and when I looked at the cheapest markup for oil, it was 114%. Amsoil is no where close to that markup. When I talked to other store owners they said they refused to sell Amsoil because there was not enough profit. I also worked in a warehouse where every oil was marked up by 12% to the store, who marked the oil up over 100%. Our warehouse bought from an international warehouse that supplies national warehouses. The international warehouse bought the oil from the oil warehouse who also had a markup from the oil company. The bottom line is, when you buy oil at walmart, the oil has already passed thru many different warehouses who are all making a profit. So from my own knowledge from first hand experience, would way rather support my local Amsoil dealer who is buying directly from Amsoil. When you buy other oils at walmart you are buying a very cheap oil at a huge markup over its journey to get there. The only way for Amsoil to sell their oil cheaper is to make a cheaper oil.
Liqui Moly all the way,in Germany and Japan oil companys can’t lie to the consumer,like in US,if it says syntethic on the package its 100% syn,not some BS blend.
Amsoil signature series synthetic is a genuine full synthetic. It's a grade 4 oil, where as the others are grade 3 rubbish. Try it on your engine, and you'll see the difference.
@@7s29 group 3 can be just as good as group 4 with a good additives. i've seen group 3s have better UOA's than group 4 and 5s on the same vehicle. if you must have group 4 there is motul 8100 and mobil 1 extended performance for much cheaper than amsoil.
No. Theirs is a true synthetic as apposed to the others. Also, it's a grade 4 oil, where as the others are grade 3, so old to "Joe" public as though it's a grade 4.
@@HaloDaycare Amsoil used to advertise they were 100% group IV PAO base oil. They no longer do. I've contacted them asking what their base group is and they won't say. This leads me to belive they are a mix like everybody else.
I don't understand your logic about crude. Crude must be refined by a combination of heat, pressure, and or chemical processes to take out what is not wanted/needed in the fossil crude. Since it is basically impossible to get out 100% of the "contaminants" in the crude you get those bad components in the final product such as wax. Synthetic oil is built with the components that are wanted rather than refined out of the crude. Therefore, it is a better final product. Preferring refined crude over synthetic oil simply is not logical.
@@wayneedgerton5892 Have to jump in here Wayne. Crude (basic oil) when refined to group lll has shown too be just as good as the group lV PAO oil that AMSOIL, and others produce, that is why a group lll can be called "synthetic oil" even though it is not "synthetic". The PAO oil molecules may not break down as fast as the group lll but the additives in both oils will, and there in is the problem, therefor Extended Oil Change is not recommended over the manufacuters specificaton.
@@wayneedgerton5892 you have no understanding in chemical engineering. A group III base oil is 99.9% pure of impurities. It has no difference from a group IV.
@@daf62757 point is,it's half the price of this oil and is an ester based group 5 oil. even better,mobil 1 extended performance is poa and ester based. are you an amsoil shill,david?
No, I use whatever is the cheapest synthetic I can find that is a name brand. I don't think it makes that much a difference as long as you keep your drain interval under 10K miles. I have never used AMSOIL and if the price were in line with most other synthetic bands, I would.@@SC-us1hs
In a minimum requirement set forward by API their testing showed Mobil one to be the worst performing oil on the market. I’ve use mobil one for yrs and was surprised at these test results.
