What Is the AMSOIL Preferred Customer Program?
A lot of people hear the words Preferred Customer and wonder what that actually means. The simplest answer is this: the AMSOIL Preferred Customer program is designed for people who want to use the products for themselves and buy at better pricing. If you have one vehicle, multiple vehicles, motorcycles, powersports equipment, work trucks, or a mix of things you maintain, Preferred Customer can make a lot of sense. You get access to reduced pricing and a better overall buy

How to Choose the Right AMSOIL Dealer
If you’re looking into AMSOIL, one question you should absolutely ask is: how do I find a reliable AMSOIL dealer? In my opinion, that question matters more than people realize. A random signup link can get you an account, but it doesn’t guarantee support. It doesn’t help you understand what product is right for your vehicle. It doesn’t answer your maintenance questions later. And it definitely doesn’t help you understand whether you’re better off as a retail buyer, a Preferr

Can AMSOIL Improve My Vehicle’s Performance?
People often ask, will AMSOIL make my vehicle perform better? My honest answer is yes, it can support better performance, but it helps to define what “performance” really means. For some people, performance means horsepower and responsiveness. For others, it means smoother operation, better consistency under load, easier cold starts, better shifting, or more confidence when the engine is working hard. That’s why I don’t reduce performance down to one dramatic claim. Better pe

What AMSOIL Products Are Best for My Truck?
Truck owners are some of the most common people I work with, and one question comes up constantly: which AMSOIL products are best for my truck? The answer depends on the truck and how you use it. A gas truck used as a daily driver is different from a diesel truck that tows regularly. A high-mileage work truck is different from a newer pickup that mostly sees highway driving. The best product is the one that fits the engine, mileage, operating demands and maintenance goals. Wh

How to Extend the Life of Your Engine with AMSOIL
If you want to know how AMSOIL can help your engine last longer , the answer starts with one big idea: protection over time matters. Most people don’t lose an engine all at once. Wear builds over time. Heat, friction, poor maintenance habits, inconsistent oil choices and hard operating conditions all add up. That’s why I believe the right lubricant is more than just another maintenance item. It’s part of the long-term health of the engine. AMSOIL can help support engine life

Can AMSOIL Reduce My Fuel Costs
A lot of people ask, will using AMSOIL save me money on fuel? The honest answer is: it can help, but I never position it like a miracle fix. I believe in being straightforward with people. AMSOIL is not some magic bottle that instantly transforms your gas mileage overnight. Fuel economy depends on a lot of things, including vehicle condition, tire pressure, driving habits, load, terrain, maintenance and the exact product being used. That said, high-quality synthetic lubrican

What Is the Difference Between Synthetic and Conventional Oil?
If you’ve ever wondered how synthetic and conventional oil are different , you’re not alone. A lot of people hear that synthetic oil is better, but they don’t always know what that means in practical terms. My goal is always to explain it in a straightforward way. Conventional oil does the job, but synthetic oil is designed to do the job better under stress. That stress shows up in a few major areas: heat, cold starts, high loads, long drives, towing, stop-and-go traffic and

How Often Should I Change My Oil with AMSOIL
One of the most common questions I get is: how often do I actually need to change my oil with AMSOIL? And the honest answer is this: it depends on your vehicle, your driving conditions, and the exact AMSOIL product you’re using. I always tell people not to treat oil change intervals like a competition. The goal is not to see how far you can push it just because you’re using a premium synthetic oil. The goal is to protect your engine the right way. The first place I tell peop

What Are the Benefits of Using AMSOIL Lubricants?
A lot of people ask me, why should I use AMSOIL products in the first place? That’s a fair question. There are a lot of oil brands out there, and most people don’t spend much time thinking about oil until they have a problem, start doing more serious maintenance, or want better performance out of their vehicle or equipment. From my perspective, the biggest benefits of AMSOIL come down to protection, performance and confidence. First, AMSOIL is known for synthetic lubricants

How to Choose the Right AMSOIL Products for Your Needs
If you’re new to AMSOIL, one of the first questions you probably have is simple: what AMSOIL products are actually right for me? That’s a smart question, because the best product is not always the most expensive one or the one someone else uses. The right choice depends on what you drive, how you use it, how many miles are on it, and what kind of performance or protection you want. I’m Ken Smith , an automotive enthusiast and certified AMSOIL Independent Dealer, a nd this is
