Default What's with Amsoil?

I would like to try running amsoil in my bike in the future but geez good luck just buying it. You have to become a dealer or some other garbage like that just to get it? They should just stop the bs and stock in stores so you can just go the store and pick it up. I don't think I'm going to run it because of the hassle of getting a hold of it.

It is in stores, you just need to find one, some automotive stores have it, and some bike stores have it, also some indy shops sell it.

My Harley dealer sells it. I see some indys also sell it.
The reason they don't sell in stores is because then the store has to mark up their price. What you are doing is taking Walmarts place and eliminating the middle man.
I use so much that I purchased a dealer discount. You can also get a Preferred Customer price also for a little less money.

Their warehouse is just down the street from me, so it's more convienient for me then any of the other syn oils.

It's pyramid sales. That's why I use Mobil One V-Twin......just as good and available everywhere. Autozone even has it on sale frequently for $7.99 per quart. I just stocked up.

If you order through Amsoil.com, just pay the extra $10 to get a six month trial on the preferred customer stuff. You get like a 25-30% discount.

I'm sure Amsoil works just as well as anything else, but the constant, droning, cultish, slimy sales pitch gets old fast.

My local HD dealer carries it. Have you called yours to see if they do?
