AMSOIL Prices

[theoilman]

Please don't take the post wrong, I am not intending it as an ad, just good news for all my friends and AMSOIL customers here at FM.

AMSOIL prices have dropped! Almost all lubricants have dropped prices - around 5% effective March 1. In the next few months they will probably drop again.

[Scott K]

Dropping is good! Thanks for the info Don.

I recently did the wholesale perferred customer thing and its definitly worth it! Hopefully they will keep dropping, im full right now, i buy the 2-1/2 gallon jugs of 10w-30oil instead of the quarts and save even more! AMSOIL IS GREAT STUFF!!

[Tyler23]

i really like using amsoil but if i couldnt get it wholesale i dont know if i would use it? its awful expensive.

[BK19]

cheaper in the long wrong considering how many times you would have to change oil with regular oil plus less maintenance and better gas mileage

[Tyler23]

yes but it only costs me about $12 to change the oil and filter with premeuim grade oil vs. like $50 for a synthetic. and i am more aiming the prices at the 2stroke oil for my boat and auger.

[BK19]

once a year verses how many times for regular

[Tyler23]

doesnt really pay for me just to use the amsoil name for my truck. john deere synthetic gets the job done just fine for half the price. although i do like the amsoil for 2 strokes i run only amsoil in my sleds and debating weather to run it in my auger.

[crothmeier]

there is cheaper synthetic out there, but IMO its not the same quality.

I figured it out awhile ago, cost of filter, and oil, on both petroleum and amsoil, and I change my amsoil & filter around every 20,000 miles, with a filter only change around 10,000. (overkill)

And i change my petroleum oil and filter every 3,000.

With the miles i put on in a year i saved roughly $260 in one year by using amsoil over petroleum. Now granted i buy the amsoil at wholesale price (costed me $20 a year so now my savings is $240)

and in a 2-1/2 gallon jug so the quart price is cheaper.

and the $20 for the wholesle preferred customer allows me to get better deals on 2-cycle oil, the air filter for my car (which saves roughly $100 over a 100,000 mile period over the fram-type air filter)

to me its a no-brainer. and i havent even touched on the benefits to the engine!

[crothmeier]

yes but it only costs me about $12 to change the oil and filter with premeuim grade oil vs. like $50 for a synthetic. and i am more aiming the prices at the 2stroke oil for my boat and auger.

$12 per 3,000 miles x 24,000 miles = $96

$50 @ 25,000 miles = $50

[Tyler23]

yes but the premeuim oil i am talking about is john deere synthetic just not amsoil. so i still get the benefits of synthetic oil just not the amsoil name. is there much different between oils?

[jltimm]

$50 @ 25,000 miles = $50

Not to mention you don't have gallons of drain oil sitting around the shop after all the 3000 mile changes.

[crothmeier]

i dont know about the difference between john deere and amsoil. Maybe theoilman has some info on it. Never heard of john deere synthetic. what do they reccomend for drain intervals and do they have their own filters?

[Tyler23]

yea they have there own oil filter which i use. there is no recomendation that i am aware of. i change it every 5,000 miles anyway.

[WingDing2]

I use regular NAPA oil 6 quarts @ 2.79 = 16.74 and a Gold filter 7.00 for a grand total of $23.78

Tyler where are you buying your oil & filter?

[Tyler23]

john deere dealer, but i get the oil outa the bulk barrel so the price is dropped alot most people cant do this tho...by the way wingding2 i like your statement at the bottom of your posts. everything about it is true

[WingDing2]

Cool Tyler! It's how I live my life!

[Scott Stein]

I run Pennzoil 5w-30 w/ a Fram filter. Even if your going the supposed 25,000 that you are saying. Pretty sure a filter isn't going to last that long or catch half the [PoorWordUsage],because the filter can only take so much.

Edit: I change every 3k-5k/I just talked to a couple local mechanics and they said running the Amsoil Syn is ok for 25,000 but a filter isn't going to be doing anything after about 9-10k.

[crothmeier]

I'd trust amsoil techs over the local mechanic, but i change my ams filter at 10,000 miles, and full oil & filter change every 20,000. depends on the driving conditions. i just cant bring myself to ignore it for 25,000 miles, just doesnt seem right!

[Tyler23]

25,000 just doesnt seem right to me. i use a synthetic and i still change it between 5,000 and 7,000

Why you would risk your expensive vehicle to save a few bucks is beyond me. Change your oil and filter more often than 25k.

exactly!
