NOACK Volatility Test is
a Critical Measurement of Motor Oil Quality
AMSOIL
was the first motor oil company in North America to use
the NOACK volatility test to measure motor oil quality
and performance. Although competing motor oil companies
initially paid no attention to NOACK results, the test
has since become a critical measurement tool throughout
the industry.
Modern engine
designs generate more heat than ever, accentuating the
importance of the NOACK volatility test for determining
an oil’s ability to provide an adequate level of
protection and performance. More horsepower, turbo chargers
and aerodynamic styling have created extremely hot environments
that receive less cooling from outside air, and high heat
leads to oil oxidation, deposits and thickening in conventional
oils.
Top quality
for the current API SM motor oils specification, gasoline
motor oils cannot experience a weight loss of more than
15 percent in the NOACK test. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils
were exceeding modern requirements over 20 years ago,
while many current motor oils still have a hard time meeting
this minimal requirement, increasing wear, fuel consumption
and emissions.
As seen in
the graph, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil easily passes the
NOACK Test and falls well below the the maximum 15 percent
volatilization (burn off) rate dictated by the API SM
motor oil specification, while the Royal Purple volatilization
(burn off) rate is over 11 percent and the Lucas Oil FAILS
the test with a volatilization (burn off) rate of over
40 percent. (read

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils
AMSOIL synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50
motorcycle oils give motorcyclists what they need: superior
wear protection for high-stress motorcycle engines and
transmissions and clutches that stay clean and deposit
free.
Runs
cooler - reduces crankcase temperature.
Superior
12+ TBN synthetic formulation provides long
service life and maximum protection against
engine wear.
Wet
clutch compatible.
Recommended
for all V-twin and other motorcycle engines.
The AMSOIL Advantage
Motorcycle manufacturers want the
best protection possible for their equipment, calling
for rugged oils that exhibit high-temperature deposit
control additives. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are
specially formulated with the best synthetic basestocks
and high-performance additives to provide tough lubricating
protection for all four-cycle motorcycle and ATV engines
in the most demanding operations.
AMSOIL Motorcycle
Oils are formulated for both water-cooled engines and
the unique demands presented by air-cooled V-twin motorcyle
engines, including Harley-Davidson. Conventional petroleum
oils break down and oxidize when faced with high temperatures,
such as those experienced when idling in traffic, contributing
to the formation of deposits, sludge and varnish. AMSOIL
withstands oil breakdown and oxidation in high temperatures,
holds contaminants in suspension and keeps engines running
cool and clean.
Zinc and phosphorus
additives are extremely important to engines faced with
high-pressure conditions, especially motorcycle engines,
which typically have steep cam slopes, creating high pressure
between the parts. In motorcycles, friction modifiers
(prevalent in automotive oils) have been attributed to
engine start failures, a rough running feel, increased
fuel consumption due to higher engine stall speeds and
other problems. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Motorcycle
Oils have beefier antiwear and detergent/dispersant packages
with no friction modifiers, keeping motorcycles running
smoothly and efficiently, while allowing for extended
drain intervals of up to twice the manufacturers' recommendations.
How
do other motorcycle oils compare to AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils in wear protection?
Wear Protection
AMSOIL submitted popular motorcycle
oils to Four-Ball Wear (ASTM D 4172) testing and compared
the results to those of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 and Synthetic
10W-40 Motorcycle Oils.
As seen in
the graph, none of the popular motorcycle oils compared
favorably to the AMSOIL motorcycle oils in wear protection.
Click
on photos to enlarge
AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils contain significantly higher levels of
zinc and phosphorus than competing oils, and while simply
adding more zinc and phosphorus doesn't insure good performance,
AMSOIL has formulated motorcycle oils with the best additives
in the optimal quantities to provide superior wear protection.
A Four-Ball
Wear Test was conducted at 302°F/150°C, a higher
temperature that would typically be associated with motorcycle
oil operating temperatures in extreme high-performance
situations. AMSOIL motorcycle oils protect better in higher
temperatures than any of the tested motorcycle oils do,
leaving a wear scar up to 80 percent smaller.
Some motorcycle
transmissions and engines share a common oil sump, so
the engine oil must also provide wear protection to the
transmission gears, which, according to Motorcycle
Consumer News (Aug. 1998) are subject to high gear
surface pressures and gear rotation speeds. The superior
performance of the AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils in the Four-Ball
Wear Test applies here too.
Motorcyclists
will find no better oils than AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils.
The introduction of Screamin' Eagle
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil by Harley-Davidson signaled
the Motor Companies acceptance of synthetic lubricants
as superior performing products for their motorcycles.
However, Harley-Davidson V-twin air cooled engines
are not so unique in their lubrication requirements
that they require a special Harley-only fluid. In
fact, Four-Ball Wear Test results indicate that
AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil leaves a
wear scar 40 percent smaller than Screamin' Eagle
Syn3 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil.

AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil
for Harley-Davidson
From the President's Desk...
A situation my daughter, Lyn, told
me about recently got me to thinking about how good
it is to be able to blend our own oils and have complete
control of our own product quality.
Lyn loves to ride motorcycles. She
recently purchased a Harley-Davidson bike and took it
to the local Harley shop to have our new AMSOIL Motorcycle
Oil installed. The mechanic took issue with her not
using the oil Harley-Davidson sells, saying, "I'll
use AMSOIL motor oil when AMSOIL starts making motorcycles!"
How would you answer a challenge like
that? I was pleased to hear Lyn's response. She said,
"I'll start using Harley-Davidson motor oil when
Harley starts making oil!"
Perfect! The fact is that Harley-Davidson,
like so many other "brands" of oil, contract
with one or more oil companies to make their lubricants.
Often, the decision as to who actually makes a private
labeled product is based on low bid, and like almost
everything manufactured by a low bidder, short cuts
are taken in order to meet the low price.
I understand that Harley-Davidson has
contracted with one company for a number of years to
make their oil. That's good, but it doesn't change the
fact that they make motorcycles, not oil. Now consider
all the other private label oils out there. Every manufacturer
that makes equipment with an engine has its own name
on an oil bottle. That includes all the major auto manufacturers,
the makers of motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles, lawnmowers,
farm equipment, you name it, they all have oils. But
none of these equipment manufacturers actually make
an oil. They sell oil to make more money, and they often
price these oils well above the going rate for competitive
lubricants because, like Harley-Davidson, they can specify
or create the impression that only their oil be used
in their equipment.
Now there's nothing wrong in having
a goal to make money, but let's get real here. Why would
anyone want to use a product manufactured down to a
price rather than a product manufactured up to high
quality standards? We have tested a number of these
private label motor oils and two-cycle oils and we found
many are mediocre quality products. None of them even
comes close to performing as well as AMSOIL lubricants,
and that's a fact!
I'm not taking shots at Harley-Davidson.
They make good motorcycles (although I liked my Goldwing
better). And I understand their concern that normal
automotive oils not meeting API C specs shouldn't be
used in their bikes. But when they imply that AMSOIL
Motorcycle Oil is not as good as their brand or I hear
that one of their dealers recommended not using AMSOIL,
I get a little hostile. Thise kinds of statements are
the very reason we introduced our motorcycle oils in
the first place. And when we say use our 20W-50 motorcycle
oil in V-Twin motorcycle engines, that definately includes
Harley-Davidson motorcycles!
Our Motorcycle
Products Brochure, G-391, includes wear comparisons
of AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils vs other oils, including H-D
"Genuine." Both our oils demonstrate superior
wear protection over all other tested brands. Interestingly
enough, the highest wear scar in this test turned out
to be Harley-Davidson's own "Genuine" oil!"
There is a good reason why AMSOIL
Motorcycle Oils protect so well against wear. They
are formulated with significantly higher levels of zinc
and phosphorus, which when included in proper formulation
with other high quality additives, provide superior
wear protection at the high operating temperatures typical
of motorcycles. In addition, synthetic oils inherently
reduce sump temperatures so the engines actually run
cooler.
The fact is, Harley would do well to
have AMSOIL make their oils for them. Then they could
be assured that their oil was indeed a superior product.
As it is, there may be absolutely nothing wrong with
their oil for use in average service, but I guarantee
you that as the oil temperature gets hotter, like it
does when sitting in traffic on asphalt on a hot summer
day, the Harley-Davidson with AMSOIL in the crankcase
is going to be far better protected and run far cooler
than the bike with H-D "Genuine" oil in it.
There's just no two ways about it!
So, my daughter Lyn will be going back
to this mechanic armed with the facts about AMSOIL
Motorcycle Oils and a few facts about H-D oil. Nobody's
going to tell her that her dad's oils are not the very
best. She knows better, and she's on a mission to prove
her point. Who knows? Knowing Lyn, she might sign up
another AMSOIL Dealer in the process!

Harley Becomes Smooth Ride
With AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil
Terry Campbell
of Lincoln, California, a long time Honda rider, bought
his 2003 Harley-Davidson Dyna Superglide new. "The
biggest thing I noticed was the big twin engines run hot,"
Campbell said. He initially ran Harley Syn3 in the crankcase,
Redline Heavy Shock in his transmission and Redline 75W-140
in his primary. "Wee, the Redline didn't work any
better than the Syn3, in fact, my transmission shifted
worse. The Harley Syn3 ran too hot, and the Redline was
sticky." Campbell said.
He now runs
AMSOIL in the engine, transmission and primary. "So,
I've been running AMSOIL in all three cavaties,"
Campbell said. "It has made quite a difference. My
engine is running at least 30 degrees cooler, my transmission
shifts much smoother and my primary chain is quieter."

Dear AMSOIL,
I wanted to let you know
how happy I am with your AMSOIL
20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. I own a 2006 Harley-Davidson
Sportster with 5,000 miles on it. Since the bike was new
I've only used Harley-Davidson oil in the engine and Sportster
gear lube in the transmission and primary chaincase.
After reading your "Study
of Motorcycle Oils" I decided to switch
to AMSOIL. That was the best thing I've ever done for
my Harley-Davidson.
From day one I have had
problems down-shifting, especially when the bike was cold.
It would hang up between gears and I couldn't get it free
before the light at the signal turned green. Very dangerous.
Harley-Davidson told me
it was not broken in yet and to stop "granny shifting."
After 5,000 miles it was
still doing it. Now, after I started using AMSOIL in my
engine and transmission, the problem has ceased completely
from the minute I put it in. No matter how easy I down-shift
I can't make it hang up between gears.
Thank you so much for your
incredible oil. I'll never use any other brand again.

Honda Gold Wing Has 191,000
AMSOIL Miles on Engine
MSF
Motorcycle Safety Chief Instructor Michael R. Douglas,
of Anaheim CA, wrote, “I currently own a 1989 Honda
GL1500 Gold Wing motorcycle. My Gold Wing has 267,025
miles on it. For the past 191,000 miles I have been using
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil. I have been changing
the oil and filter at intervals of approximately 10,000
miles.”
“Recently,
I decided to pull the motorcycle apart and have it painted
and chromed. After pulling the valve covers off, I was
extremely surprised to see how clean the valve train was.
The green paint sprayed on by Honda over 10 years ago
is still visible. In the rear of the engine by the clutch,
is a small piece of plastic 90-degree tube, which allows
oil to return to the front half of the engine. With this
many miles, this tube is usually either partially or completely
plugged with clutch debris and other deposits. If this
happens, the front end is starved for oil. The tube in
my engine was spotless!”
“I also
use AMSOIL synthetic gear lube in the final drive assembly.
Keep up the great work! Outstanding products!”
Gold Wing Owner Enjoys Increased
MPG
Ralph Sites,
a police officer in Rutsburg, Virginia, said he put AMSOIL
10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil in his 2002 GL 1800 Honda
Gold Wing when it had 4,550 miles on the engine.
“I had
been getting 30 miles per gallon,” Sites said. “I
was supposed to be getting 40 to 45 miles per gallon.”
His first oil
change to AMSOIL improved his gas mileage to 38 miles
to the gallon, he said. At 6,500 miles on the engine,
he was getting 40 miles per gallon. He replaced the final
drive oil with AMSOIL 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube.
“I switched
to AMSOIL for the long-term gain. The improved gas mileage
was just a bonus. AMSOIL is cheaper than Honda’s
synthetic and I don’t have to change it as often.
It’s a win-win situation.”
He bought the
bike new in January 2002, and after putting 12,000 miles
on it he estimated he’d saved more than $100 in
a matter of a few months because of the increased mileage
he got after switching to AMSOIL.
AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Makes
Honda Goldwing Purr
Ken Burkhalter
trusts the quality and performance of AMSOIL motor oils,
lubes and filters, but he has been newly impressed with
AMSOIL products in his 1999 Honda Goldwing GL1500SE. He
purchased it with 15,000 miles on the engine. He put 5,000
miles on the oil and fluids installed by the dealer he
bought the bike from and then installed AMSOIL
10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. "Upon riding
the bike after the change I was blown away," Burkhalter
said. "Words alone cannot describe the remarkable
performance change."
He reports
the engine starts easier and quieter and idles significantly
faster.
"I'll
have to adjust the idle speed back down," he said.
"It runs like everything is made from silk. The engine
is so quiet you can barely hear it at 70 mph, and the
smooth sound it makes is so stunning, I have been driving
with my radio off just to enjoy the engine purr."
Besides the
purring of the engine, Burkhalter experienced an immediate
improvement in shifting ease on the Goldwing. "I
thought it might be my over-fertile imagination, but looking
at the shop manual closer I find that the transmission
runs in the engine oil (not seperate) so the extreme smoothness.
ease of shifting and lack of gear gnashing can only be
attributable to the use of the AMSOIL
motorcycle oil. (read

AMSOIL Keeps Honda CR85
on the Track
Motocross racer
Chris Price of Yadkinville, North Carolina, competes on
a 2005 Honda CR85 at a couple of local tracks. One day
at the track. Mike Price (chris's dad) installed a new
clutch on his bike before racing began.
"I forgot
to check the clutch for play because the plates will swell
when they are new," said Mike. He said he could hear
the engine screaming as soon as the 11-year-old racer
left the gates. The motor nearly quit altogether and Price
fell to last place, but he didn't stop riding.
"I finished
the whole seven laps and took second place, the clutches
held together but were slipping the whole time" said
Price.
After getting
the bike back to the trailer the Prices changed the oil
and checked the clutches.
"Everything
looked great. My dad said if it wasn't for AMSOIL 10W-40
Motorcycle Oil in the transmission, the clutches would
have burned out after two laps," said Price.
Price uses
AMSOIL Dominator in the engine and an AMSOIL Power Sports
Air Filter along with the AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil in the
transmission.
"The oil
never broke down in the severe heat that built up in the
clutches, and AMSOIL Dominator is the best that has ever
been made," said Mike "Customer for life."

NOACK volatility test to measure motor oil quality and performance.
Although competing motor oil companies initially paid no attention
to NOACK results, the test has since become a critical measurement
tool throughout the industry.
Modern engine designs
generate more heat than ever, accentuating the importance
of the NOACK volatility test for determining an oil’s
ability to provide an adequate level of protection and performance.
More horsepower, turbo chargers and aerodynamic styling have
created extremely hot environments that receive less cooling
from outside air, and high heat leads to oil oxidation, deposits
and thickening in conventional oils.
Top quality for
the current API SM motor oils specification, gasoline motor
oils cannot experience a weight loss of more than 15 percent
in the NOACK test. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils were exceeding
modern requirements over 20 years ago, while many current
motor oils still have a hard time meeting this minimal requirement,
increasing wear, fuel consumption and emissions.
As seen in the
graph, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil easily passes the NOACK
Test and falls well below the the maximum 15 percent volatilization
(burn off) rate dictated by the API SM motor oil specification,
while the Royal Purple volatilization (burn off) rate is over
11 percent and the Lucas Oil FAILS
the test with a volatilization (burn off) rate of over 40
percent. (read

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-30 Used
for Horse Power Gain
An article
in the June 2004 issue of Chevy High Performance entitled
“Mission 305, Part I” took aim at “getting
some decent power from GM’s weak-kneed 305.” Involved
in the process was Joe Jill of Superior Automotive Engineering
of Anaheim, California, who advised using AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil. “We tried out AMSOIL’s
0W-30 Severe Duty synthetic motor oil, along with one of the
company’s Super Duty oil filters,” writes Associate
Editor John Nelson. “Designed for LT1 and LS1 powerplants,
Superior’s Joe Jill says he’s seen up to 10hp
gains simply by switching to this oil, and the intervals between
oil changes are greatly increased.”
Recently,
Castrol and Mobil brought the debate over what is “synthetic”
into view, as Mobil challenged Castrol’s replacement
of polyalphaolephins (PAOs) with hydroisomerized waxes (hydrocracked
petroleum basestocks) in their synthetic formulations. Exactly
one year after the National Advertising Division of the Council
of Better Business Bureaus’ ruling upholding Castrol’s
position that wax isomerates could be called synthetic, Petro-Canada
(a large provider of basestocks to oil marketers) advertised
it would be referring to its very high viscosity index (VHVI)
basestocks as a synthetic in the North American market. These
products fall into the same API group (Group III) as wax isomerates,
but could vary significantly in quality from wax isomerates.
This market roar by Petro-Canada has carried a quiet undertone
of moves from PAO to VHVI technology by several engine oil
marketers. (read

AMSOIL represented
the lone voice for extended drain intervals in America for
over 30 years, recommending 25,000-mile/one-year drain intervals.
While extended oil drain intervals have been common in Europe
for years, other American motor oil companies have mostly
avoided recommending them, preferring instead to stick with
3,000-mile recommended intervals despite the contrasting recommendations
of vehicle manufacturers and European motor oil companies.
In fact, Marc Graham,
president of Pennzoil-Quaker State-owned Jiffy Lube International,
was quoted in a 2001 Lubricants World interview as
saying, "At [Pennzoil-Quaker State] we use a number internally
that if we [shorten the drain interval] by 100 miles [for
each car serviced], it would mean an additional $20 million
in revenue for the company." He also explained that "if
we could move our customers to get one more oil change per
year, it's worth $294 million for the oil change alone and
$441 million in revenue, when you include the ancillary products
and services customers typically buy along with the oil change."
Today, with vehicle
manufacturers recommending longer and longer drain intervals
and the increasing use of oil monitoring systems, the practice
of extending drain intervals has become more mainstream and
forced more motor oil companies to take notice.

Valuable Opportunities From
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Dealerships
Independent AMSOIL
Dealerships are recommended for people who want to own their
own businesses, be their own boss, and set their own schedule
and goals. The AMSOIL business opportunity is versatile and
dynamic so that each person can create his or her own personally
tailored business.
Personal
Sales
As an AMSOIL Dealer, you purchase
AMSOIL products at Dealer cost and then sell them at the suggested
retail price. Your income starts building immediately with
retail profits and commission bonuses!
Catalog Sales
Dealers distribute AMSOIL catalogs,
and AMSOIL INC. takes it from there. AMSOIL takes the order,
ships the product, bills the customer and collects the money.
The Dealers collect the retail profits and the commissions.
Internet Sales
Dealers can either purchase a ready
made website from AMSOIL or create their own custom websites
to sell products directly via the internet. Dealers can also
link their websites to the corporate AMSOIL website so customers
can purchase products directly through the AMSOIL Online Store,
and Dealers get the retail profits and commissions.
Building Your Sales Group
You can expand your AMSOIL Dealership
and increase your income volume by developing your own personal
group of AMSOIL Dealers. AMSOIL pays you commissions on their
sales.
Fund Raising Accounts
Fund raising organizations register
as Fund Raising Accounts, buying and selling products and
earning retail profits and commissions. You build volume,
a solid base of customers and increased commissions.
Retail On-The-Shelf Sales and Commercial
Sales
Retail On-The-Shelf Accounts are retail
outlets such as auto parts, quick lubes and hardware and sporting
goods stores. These stores stock AMSOIL products on their
shelves to sell to their customers. Commercial Accounts are
businesses which have vehicles, equipment and machinery that
use the quality lubricants and filters available in the AMSOIL
product line. Once you’ve registered one of these accounts,
AMSOIL extends them credit, takes their orders, ships their
product, invoices the product and collects payment. AMSOIL
then sends you your monthly commission earnings from the account.
An AMSOIL Dealership is
the ideal start-up opportunity for those who want to own their
own business. AMSOIL provides training materials, administrative
assistance, technical support and everything needed to build
successful Dealerships.

Valuable Opportunities From
AMSOIL
Partial Dealer
If
you are interested in becoming a Dealer to decide if the AMSOIL
business might be something you would want to pursue, you
can register as a Dealer for $15.00 for six months (or one
year @ $30.00) as a trial. This would allow you time to evaluate
the business potential of an AMSOIL Dealership. You would
be able to buy at a 15-20% discount and resell products, sign
up other dealers, retail accounts, and commercial accounts.
These are the types of activities that would develop your
business. You would be able to purchase products in any quantity
direct from AMSOIL Inc. at wholesale pricing.
Full Dealer
If
you are interested in becoming a Dealer to develop and build
a business, you would need to register for one year and to
purchase a BUSINESS MANUAL for $65.00. The Business Manual
is a three ring binder that includes ten detailed “how
to” manuals, covering all aspects of running an AMSOIL
Dealership. All of the administrative materials you need are
included, along with the product selection guides and reference
materials you will use on a continuous basis. In addition,
you will eventually want to purchase the AMSOIL Literature
Pack (G-1312 @ $30.00) that contains over 100 different AMSOIL
literature items. This is not a “get rich quick”
scheme, it requires a lot of time and effort, but if you are
the entrepreneurial type, looking for a business opportunity
with unlimited potential and small start up cost, this may
be for you.

Join a Proven Winner: AMSOIL,
The Recognized Leader…
At the heart of every successful business
venture you’ll find two things: technical innovation
and business foresight. Lieutenant Colonel A.J. Amatuzio demonstrated
his keen understanding of these driving forces when he founded
AMSOIL INC., “The First in Synthetics.”
As a Jet Fighter pilot, Al Amatuzio witnessed
the extraordinary benefits of synthetic oil used in jet engines.
Seeing the need for these benefits in vehicles, he formulated
the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American
Petroleum Institute (API) service requirements for automobile
engines. Other companies claimed that synthetic lubricants
bore no significant advantage over conventional petroleum
oils. That was 1972. Over thirty years later, the benefits
of synthetics are widely recognized, and those same companies
have followed AMSOIL’s lead by developing their own
synthetic blends.
The Company…
The AMSOIL corporate headquarters, manufacturing
plants and chemical and test laboratories boast state-of-the-art
equipment and specialists in every facet of lubricant technology.
At AMSOIL, unparalleled quality standards are assured. And
AMSOIL provides a full-range of customer and technical services,
while fourteen distribution centers throughout North America
and the world keep pace with the increasing demand for AMSOIL
products.
The Products…
Since the introduction of AMSOIL Synthetic
Motor Oil in 1972, AMSOIL has gone on to develop the most
complete line of synthetic lubricants and automotive products
in the world. The history of AMSOIL product introductions
is a checklist of industry first. AMSOIL motor oils, two-cycle
oils, gear lubes, greases, industrial lubes and high tech
air and oil filters are concrete testimony to AMSOIL innovation.
One Company…Endless Opportunities…
Work It
Your Way
An AMSOIL Dealership is truly
a unique opportunity. It is easily adaptable to your level
of commitment, adjustable to your time schedule and diverse
enough to accommodate your lifestyle. It can be as large or
as small as you wish to make it.
Different stages of commitment
to your Dealership will also offer different opportunities
and methods for generating sales and commissions. No one way
is the “right” way to work an AMSOIL business,
and no two paths through the AMSOIL experience are usually
the same. The following are the typical stages a Dealership
evolves through as the Dealer’s level of commitment
increases and sales are generated at greater volumes. These
stages do not all necessarily flow in a distinct order, and
some will probably occur simultaneously throughout a Dealer’s
business growth.
AMSOIL Product User
Most people become familiar
with AMSOIL through the use of the products. A product user
is primarily concerned with purchasing products for self-use
and may not yet be familiar or concerned with the other opportunities
AMSOIL offers. Many AMSOIL product users are devoted to the
quality and value offered by synthetics but have not tried
selling the products to others yet. They remain dependent
on a Dealer or retail account to acquire their products. As
they are made aware of the other opportunities that are available
with AMSOIL, product users may decide that becoming Preferred
Customers would be worth their time in cost savings and for
the convenience of ordering product directly from the company.
Product users may also recognize the business opportunities
and determine that they can make money selling AMSOIL products.
AMSOIL Preferred Customer
An AMSOIL Preferred Customer
status is often a more comfortable step forward for a product
user that is not yet certain an AMSOIL Dealership is for them.
Being a Preferred Customer allows an individual to order AMSOIL
products at Dealer cost. However, Preferred Customers cannot
register others onto their downline groups or participate
in other AMSOIL programs without upgrading to full Dealership
status.
Individuals register as Preferred
Customers for $10 US (6 months) or $20 US (12 months).
Preferred Customers may upgrade
to Dealer status by completing a G-18 US Registration Form.
AMSOIL Dealership
With the upgrade to an AMSOIL
Dealership, your opportunities for income begin. AMSOIL Dealers
have access to many programs that have been designed to increase
their profit potential. The AMSOIL Dealership enables you
to enjoy the same product discounts as a Preferred Customer
but also enables you to sell the products for profit.
From this stage on, your AMSOIL
Dealership growth opportunities are completely up to you.
If you are content with using your Dealership for the product
discount and do not wish to pursue outside sales, no more
time or effort will be required. But if you would like to
maximize your Dealership’s profit potential, the following
stages of Dealership development can offer progressively more
business and commission growth.
Individuals register as Dealers
for $15 US (6 months) or $30 US (12 months).
Dealers registering for six months receive
a G-7Y AMSOIL Sales Manual.
G-7Y AMSOIL Sales Manual – This
sales manual includes application forms and product literature
items that have been designed to offer a new Dealer a level
of familiarity with the AMSOIL opportunity. New Dealers
can consult the literature contained in the G-7Y Kit for
information on AMSOIL products, applications, policies and
business procedures. When looking for new ideas and opportunities,
the G-7Y is a great place to start.
Dealer Business Manual.
G-700 AMSOIL Dealer Business Manual –
This business manual contains a registration form, price
list, how-to manuals and product documentation. It is the
standard business kit for a serious AMSOIL Dealer. The registration
term is 12 months.
Many AMSOIL product users who
decide to become registered AMSOIL Dealers try out selling
the products first to their friends and family. This can be
a great way to start a prosperous AMSOIL Dealership. Friends,
family and business associates are often easier for new Dealers
to sell based on their pre-existing relationships. You may
want to offer them the same opportunities and value that made
you decide to become a Dealer in the first place. And if the
products and opportunities are to their liking, they may decide
that they would like to register as Dealers or Preferred Customers
in the future.
Catalog Sales
Catalog sales are a great way
to earn more monthly commission bonuses with a limited amount
of personal selling time involved.
G-100 AMSOIL Retail Catalog
(G-300 in Canada) – This catalog has been designed
to be the comprehensive sales tool for an AMSOIL Dealer.
The AMSOIL Retail Catalog contains virtually all AMSOIL
products and their retail pricing information. This catalog
can be handed out to anyone who is interested in purchasing
products. It includes the AMSOIL toll-free ordering number
and a space for your Dealership ZO number. By filling in
your ZO number and distributing the catalog at trade shows,
fairs and conventions, you generate retail profits and commissions
from all catalog sales that are made. The Catalog also contains
Preferred Customer and Dealership information, and many
customers select those as options.
Internet Sales
AMSOIL Dealers also have the
option of doing business on the internet. Dealer websites
come in many forms, from those that Dealers create and update
themselves to sites that are created and hosted for Dealers
by AMSOIL INC. The Internet is an excellent place to sell
AMSOIL products. Being linked to the AMSOIL corporate website
allows web orders to be tracked and processed by staff at
AMSOIL corporate offices while still generating commissions
for the Dealer whose site drew the original business. This
allows you to jump start your business with minimal investment
or limited internet experience.
Sponsoring
Sponsoring new Dealers and Preferred
Customers builds a “downline group.” The commission
value of your downline group’s purchases is added to
yours, increasing the percentage of your commission and giving
you a bigger commission check.
Sponsoring is the key to building
a very large AMSOIL business. By building large downline groups
and providing the proper training, there is virtually no limit
to a Dealer’s income.
The Commercial Program
Commercial accounts can provide
a steady source of income for an AMSOIL Dealer. Commercial
accounts are businesses which have company-owned vehicles,
equipment and machinery that use the quality lubricants and
filters available in the AMSOIL product line. These accounts
do not sell AMSOIL products, but choose to use them in their
equipment and machinery.
The G-1007 Commercial Account
Program Packet is used to register an AMSOIL commercial account.
G-1007 Commercial Account Program Packet
(G-8107 in Canada) – This packet contains all of the
necessary forms to register commercial accounts and the
information to get them started using AMSOIL products. Once
a commercial account is registered, AMSOIL extends them
credit, takes their orders, ships their product, invoices
the product and collects their payment. AMSOIL then sends
the Dealer the commission earnings from the commercial account’s
orders.
The Retail On-The-Shelf
Program
Selling AMSOIL to retail accounts is another
way to earn commissions. Retail accounts are retail outlets
such as auto parts stores, motorcycle dealerships, quick lubes
and automotive service centers. These stores stock AMSOIL
products to sell to their customers or install AMSOIL products
as part of a service such as with oil changes.
The G-1001 Retail on the Shelf Program Packet
is used to register an AMSOIL retail on the shelf account.
G-1001 Retail on the Shelf Program Packet
(G-8101 in Canada) – This packet contains the necessary
forms to register AMSOIL retail on the shelf accounts and
the information necessary to get them started working with
AMSOIL INC. Once a retail on the shelf account is registered,
AMSOIL extends them credit, take their orders, ships their
product, invoices the product and collects their payment.
AMSOIL then sends the Dealer the commission earnings from
the retail on the shelf account’s orders.
