12 Reasons Your Shop Should Carry

1. Higher Profit Potential

AMSOIL synthetic motor oil is a premium product that commands a premium price. Consumers expect to pay more for a higher quality product, and the retail profit margins allow oil change specialists to charge more. Busy quick lubes that are already operating at capacity can potentially see twice as many customers since they only see them half as often to make the same or greater profit.

2. Satisfies Customer Wants

GM consumer interest surveys indicate that motorists desire the convenience of extended drain intervals. Now you can offer with confidence the convenience of 7500-mile/six-month oil changes. With regards to wear protection, fuel economy, and high and low temperature performance, there is no better motor oil on the market than AMSOIL.

Harsh engine conditions cause petroleum oils to degrade far more quickly than synthetics. You will not need to worry about your customers' vehicles if they stretch their intervals beyond what is recommended and neither will they. AMSOIL synthetic motor oil provides long-term protection. AMSOIL offers warranty coverage for its products when used as recommended in mechanically sound engines.

7. Broad Product Line

Estimated Profit to Quick Lube Account

Profits per customer will vary based on prices and overhead calculations. AMSOIL recommends a markup of 2 to 2 1/2 times the normal petroleum-based oil change pricing.

For example:

                   Current 3000-Mile AMSOIL 7500-Mile

                       Oil Change        Oil Change

Oil Change Price:        $21.50            $49.95

Less Oil Cost:          -$ 5.00           -$17.25

Less Filter Cost:       -$ 2.00           -$ 2.00

Less Labor Cost:        -$ 5.60           -$ 5.60

Gross Profit:            $ 8.90            $25.10

YOUR ANNUAL PROFIT PER CUSTOMER

Typical recommended oil change: $ 8.90 x 5 oil changes = $44.50

What your customers actually do: $ 8.90 x 3 oil changes = $26.70*

AMSOIL XL-7500:                  $25.10 x 2 oil changes = $50.20

* According to major oil company data, the average consumer changes their oil 2.7 times per year. With AMSOIL, two oil changes per year enables you to earn more money than five oil changes, and nearly twice as much as the more typical three oil changes. As an added benefit, customers cars have better protection with XL-7500. Note: The filters you use are sufficient for the duration of the complete service interval recommended by the automobile manufacturer. Premium filters are available from AMSOIL if you want to offer them to your customers for an additional charge.

Customers Save, Too

Not only do lube shops make more money with the AMSOIL XL-7500 Program, customer save money and experience more convenience with the same program.

                      Current 3000-Mile AMSOIL 7500-Mile

                          Oil Change        Oil Change

Oil Change Price:           $21.50            $49.95

                               x 5               x 2

Annual cost @15,000 miles: $107.50            $99.90

We encourage you to display this kind of comparison for your customers when asking them if they would prefer coming in 5 times a year for a 3000-mile/3-month oil change or twice a year for a 7500-mile/6-month Premium Oil Change. The answer should be obvious.

All numbers based on 15,000 miles per year utilizing typical values extracted from current research.

"How can I make money if customers extend their oil drain intervals?"

The 7500-Mile/Six-Month Oil Change Program has been developed specifically for your profitability while providing passenger car owners with superior engine protection and performance. Statistics have shown that many motorists will say yes when you offer them the choice. "Would you like our $19.95 3000-mile/three-month oil change, or our $49.95 7,500-miles/six-month oil change?'' Consumers today are willing to pay more for quality and convenience.*

The notion of extending drain intervals has become a controversial subject, and the fact that they can potentially double store revenues demands that there be open discussion.

Here are the facts:

AMSOIL synthetics have a much longer service life, hence they will protect engines for the entire duration of the manufacturer's oil drain recommendations, both normal and severe service, and beyond.
If you provide a higher quality product and charge a premium price, you can make more money with less effort.
If you make more money in half the number of visits, that means you can see more customers and thereby increase your annual profits.

* A variety of price models can be used to ensure your profitability. AMSOIL recommends charging two to two and a half times your current service price.

Four important trends that will impact tomorrow's passenger car market

The Trend Toward Performance

Drastic changes in engine design, with their smaller, hotter engine compartments, tighter tolerances and emissions standards have placed higher demands on lubricants. At the same time, vehicle manufacturers are seeking extended drains, cleaner engines, improved fuel economy, reduced oil consumption and better wear protection. One industry analyst has speculated that over time as increasing numbers of baby boomers enter their peak earning years, 90% of all cars on the road will be high performance vehicles.

The Trend Toward Extended Drain Intervals

In recent years, extending oil drain intervals has been an important objective of the world's leading automakers, hence their insistence on increasingly stringent oil performance specs. According to GM's Mike McMillan, "There is technology available to raise the standard and extend the drain interval without compromising engine durability or removing the performance cushion." European automakers currently recommend 9000-mile/12-month service with driving conditions no less severe than our own. A report in Lubes 'n' Greases magazine points out that customers are eager to minimize their vehicle maintenance time, "and changing engine oil is their single biggest remaining maintenance item." For the Big Three automakers, addressing this issue is very important today.

The Trend Toward Synthetic Motor Oils

The modern quest for "more, better, faster" has made an impact on every industry. As a result, high technology synthetic motor oils like AMSOIL have found increasing acceptance in every facet of American industry. A major consciousness shift is occurring as Americans become more selective in their purchasing, focusing more on performance over price. The rapid growth in sales of synthetic lubricants is directly related to its superior performance capabilities.

The Continuing Environment Trend

Government regulations and rising consumer awareness will continue to drive the push for environmentally friendly improvements in the industry. Extended oil drain capabilities are already being aggressively pursued in Europe, placing greater demands on oil formulators to improve the quality of their products. AMSOIL offers a model program that lube center operators can embrace which is not only environmentally wise, but economically suited for profit-mindedness as well.
