My Story
In 1992, I started a new position at my work which required a one hour commute. This of course would add 1000's of kilometers to my vehicle in a very short time and I quickly realized that I would have to do an oil change about every month and a half or about 8 in a year.
Well, being a do-it-yourself-er kind of guy and a little on the thrifty side, I did not relish the idea of performing that many oil changes every year. So I started to look around for a "better mouse trap" so to speak and asking around, I came across a fellow worker who was an Amsoil Dealer. He filled me in on the Amsoil system and I decided to try it. It turns out Amsoil was not a new product but had been around since 1972.
I was very pleased with the switch for a few reasons. The Amsoil lubricants were formulated with an advanced, best available additive package along with PAO synthetic oil and guaranteed to perform within all brands' OEM lubricant requirements for 40,000 normal service (24,000 severe service) km for 1 year. This allowed for 1 oil change a year, saving me work, and even at double the initial cost it saved me at least half of my annual oil change expense, with the best known lubricant available and allowing worry free driving for a whole year.
I decided to register as an Amsoil dealer for something to do in my spare time and to use more Amsoil products in my vehicles. When attempting to share the Amsoil story with others I was met with extreme skepticism and doubt. After all, we have all been taught by our great grandfathers, grandfathers, dads, big oil, auto dealers and our favorite mechanics that your automobile or equipment will surely fail prematurely if you don't follow the old fashioned practice of frequent oil changes for so many reasons. The customers that I have accumulated have, for the most part become repeat customers because they have also found the reliability and reduced cost by long term use of Amsoil products.
So here's my take on it. It's difficult to change the routines we have established with experience and the advice from generations of people in our circles and have come to believe that there is no better way. Well, no one can believe anything into or out of existence; that's a fact. In this world the one way we have of establishing what is a true fact is by scientific research. Independent laboratories have verified that all Amsoil products perform as described and are guaranteed to do so. Fact. Therefore I have no reservations in using all Amoil products that I need and have no problem recommending them to anyone.
