You are absolutely correct!!! That AMSOIL should sell itself.....If you take a look at the latest NOLN - National oil and lube news magazine...you will see that AMSOIL has made the pie chart at the 4% mark..which has doubled in the past 2 years....and it has made it without certification, it has made it without spending a a penny on a national adveritising campaign on TV ...The only reason why people prefer Mobil 1 and Castrol is because they have seen 30 second commercials 50 times a day for the last 1000 years.....and all they know is a name.....they have no concept of quality..... it is a science to formulate motor oils... do you think many people in this world have passed their chemisty class? or have even taken the class??? or even care about chemistry??? and do you think those 30 second commercials really describe in detail the quality of the oils being promoted?? WOW...How convincing, those commercials you have seen referring to oil quality when the engine jumps out of the car ....or when a car is traveling down a road surrounded by Impalas.....That really tells you about protection.........
The bottom line....ifrom your own words... AMSOIL should and does sell itself.....and you won't find AMSOIL in the nationally known retail chains or auto part stores..........so how does AMSOIL sell so much oil???? Must be good some sh _ t....... the "EDUCATED" consumer knows the difference....and uses AMSOIL...

"So you would rather support the economies of foreign countries, by not only sending your money there, but jobs as well? AMSOIL is an American company, using American vendors, that develops thousands of independent American businesses every year. "
 
Absolutely!
(I am however surprised to learn that Exxon-Mobil is not an American company and has not a single American employee)
 
You apparently think that I should essentially do the equivalent of the following: Buy Mobil 1 for $5.50 and then send $3.30 to you because you are an independent American businessman.
  
"If you want to discuss AMSOIL products..,"
 
I don't. Nor do I want to discuss Amway products, Avon products, Mary Kay products, Tupperware, Pampered Chef products, Partylite products, etc.

"A search for "amsoil european" reveals that they want $8.80 per quart. Shortly before doing that search, I happened to see a local store ad for Mobil 1 at $5.50.
  
So what is the point of this amsoil stuff, again? Why would I pay a 60% premium over mobil 1?"
 
Can you share that sale ad for Mobil 1 that meets the European requirements for $5.50 a quart?
 
The Amsoil European is available any time at $6.41 a quart wholesale when you buy a case of 12 quarts. I see you can get Mobil 1 European formula 0w40 for $7.82 a quart for a case of 6. And the Mobil 1 has a weaker formula.

That's right. Mobil 1 and Castrol are crap and we've all been duped.
 
But how does that amazing amsoil get sold? Hmm...
 
"You can start an independent AMSOIL Dealership for under $50"

I myself tend to buy the best products regardless of where they are made.
 
Besides, we get the majority of our oil from Canada and Mexico. I like Canada and Mexico.

"Not sure what you mean---are you saying that you can get your oil on the BMW list only by paying them to put it there?
  
Is this public information? It sounds a bit scandalous actually, if true.
  
Sounds like product placement in a movie or something.
  
I'm kinda skeptical if you don't mind me sayin'..."
Feel free to call BMW and ask what the fee is to get on their oil list.

> and does sell itself.....
 
If that's true, why do I keep finding amzoil pushers peddling the stuff in every forum they can try to take over?
 
>>and you won't find AMSOIL in the nationally known retail chains or auto part stores..........
 
Another false statement> oreillys is pretty much an auto parts store!!!! And it's national!!!!

Tired of reading the Amsoil pushers.
 
In the detailing discussions there was a "No Zaino Posts."
 
Here we need a "No amzoil posts."

Just think for the Zaino pushers:
 
Pay a small fee to BMW for testing or inclusion or to VW and think of all the profits the various levels in the MLM would reap from all the extra sales!
 
They wouldn't need to put product into Oreilly's, an auto parts store that's national (under different names apparently).

I tried to find it on your link and it says "Sorry, no stores in your area were found with this item available." and I live in the Houston area.
 
I've never seen it in any O'reilly store.
 
Retail stores with more than 12 to a chain are not allowed to sign up to sell AMSOIL. However, I do sell to independently owned individual stores such as NAPA, CarQuest, BMW dealerships and others.
