OE Synthetic Diesel Oil Recommended in Place of Discontinued Synthetic Blend Gasoline & Diesel Oil

AMSOIL OE 15W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (OED) is recommended in place of the recently discontinued 15W-40 Synthetic Blend Gasoline & Diesel Oil (PCO). AMSOIL OE Synthetic Diesel Oil is a full-synthetic oil that offers additional benefits at a lower price compared to AMSOIL Synthetic Blend Diesel Oil. It is formulated to meet the most current API CJ-4 specification and is suitable for use in both modern and older diesel engines. Synthetic Blend Gasoline & Diesel Oil is available while supplies last.

 

Growing Synthetic Motor Oil Market Bodes Well for AMSOIL Business Opportunity

According to Erika Vela, crankcase technologist with Infineum USA, North America’s premium synthetic motor oil market is growing 8 percent annually despite a flat-to-declining overall engine oil market. The eroding value of synthetic-blend motor oils is one contributing factor, she said. “The value of synthetic blend claims has deteriorated over time and is now on par with conventional claims,”  said Vela. While synthetic blend oils are failing to resonate with motorists, the opposite is true of premium synthetic oils, increasing sales opportunities for AMSOIL Dealers. An increasing number of consumers favor premium synthetics due to extended drain intervals, increased fuel efficiency and better wear protection. “Premium performance has value for the consumer,” Vela said.  AMSOIL extended-drain synthetic motor oils continue to provide motorists the best overall value, ensuring the rock-solid AMSOIL business opportunity continues allowing Dealers of all levels to achieve their goals.

California Agency Campaigns Against 3,000-Mile Oil Changes

A survey conducted by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) reveals over 40 percent of Californians still change their oil at least every 3,000 miles. The agency’s “Check Your Number” campaign, launched in November, is encouraging drivers to change oil less often by adhering to vehicle manufacturer-recommended drain intervals.

“That’s the thrust of our campaign,” said CalRecycle spokesman Mark Oldfield. “Get people to rethink this long-held belief, because obviously there have been such improvements in both the products and the automobiles themselves that have led manufacturers in many cases to recommend longer intervals between oil changes. For us the campaign is really about making information available and allowing people to make the choice that’s right for them.”

Briggs & Stratton partners with AMSOIL

Posted: December 8, 2011 - Announcement

Briggs & Stratton, the world’s largest manufacturer of small engines, approached AMSOIL for help. Their goal was to produce a synthetic racing oil for their highest performance and most expensive engines used in kart, junior drag, quarter midget and other racing applications. AMSOIL was specifically chosen because of our technical resources and quality reputation, and we delivered technology that exceeded expectations.

This new oil will be sold exclusively through Briggs & Stratton, and the company has announced its availability in early 2012 for the upcoming racing season. They have elected to boldly display an AMSOIL logo on the packaging to boost the credibility of the product.

Manage Your Retail Installer Account Information

With the launch of the new Retail Account Installer Locator, a new set of features is available on the Retail Account Information Administration page under Services -> Retail Account Information Administration in the Dealer Zone. The new tools allow Dealers to adjust their retail accounts’ contact and location information for the new Installer Locator at www.amsoil.com. The AMSOIL Installer Locator connects customers looking for a “do-it-for-me” oil change with an installation location that carries AMSOIL products. To qualify as an AMSOIL installer on the mapping service, a registered retail account must have purchased $500 in AMSOIL products in the previous six months, and must have correct location and contact information registered with AMSOIL. AMSOIL will use this purchasing history to help ensure installers listed on the AMSOIL Installer Locator have an adequate supply of AMSOIL products to serve customers who find them online.

Please ensure all of your retail accounts that have the ability to install products on-site have correct contact and location information on file with AMSOIL, otherwise those accounts will not qualify for inclusion in the new Installer Locator. The Retail Account Information Administration page includes two instructional videos and a PDF instructions form to demonstrate the Installer Locator concept and provide guidance in using the administrative tools. 


The administrative tool is also available to retail accounts via a link in the Retail Account Zone. It can be found directly under the Online Forms section of Retail Account Zone, and is entitled Retailer/Installer Locations Form. This form will allow accounts to self-administrate their location and contact information, and add additional information for alternate locations, provided they meet program qualifications.
