Amsoil Price Hike

[diyer2]

My last Amsoil order was 11/21. Just checked, Amsoil OE 5W20 has gone up a $1.10 per quart. A case, 4-1 gallon jugs went up $15.60.

Welcome to inflation. Still worth it. EVERY oil company has raised prices and oil additives are in shorter supply so boom up go the prices...

I will continue to use Amsoil in our Hyundai Santa FE being it gets used the most, our primary vehicle. The truck sits on a battery maintainer with storage insurance. Hasn't moved in months.

Amsoil was one of the last holdouts on raising prices since they buy railroad cars of additives and base oils at a time. 

 

I have data on price increases of finished lubricants but like everything else computer I can't find it. When I do will share.

Here ya go, Amsoil is way behind all the others.

Yes we just had a price increase in May.  Hopefully it will be the last one for a while.

 

I remember O.E. when it first came out was right at $4.50 a qt.

An oil and filter change for the Santa FE is now $44.70. 5 quarts Amsoil OE Purolator One filter. The filter went up also. Still worth it IMO.

Wish Amsoil would get their contractor to make the EA oil filter for the 2.7L Turbo. PF 66 works fine but its not like a EA.

Everything went up, I mean really. At least if you’re in a pinch. Change your own oil, make your own coffee, take your lunch. If you already do all that than your ahead of the game.

Purolator? Did you check them out?

Yes Sir and BOSS media is better but not worth the expense. 

[diyer2]

Purolator One. My choice. Still not cheap but better than most IMO.

Got a phone call from my Red Line supplier yesterday giving me a heads up on a 15% increase coming soon.

The Amsoil OE stuff is like $8.60 a quart at napa and the signature stuff is pushing $12 or 13 depending on the weight. Still cheaper than some of the Castrol and Pennzoil stuff when shopping at napa.

 

I'm just glad I don't pay retail costs on lots of things lol.

My thinking, Amsoil OE is rated for 7500 miles. Purolator One filter 10 K miles. Thinking 4 K mile OCI's. Both rated for higher miles but you know me I like clean oil. Severe duty for the Santa Fe is 3750 miles and our use is severe duty.

 

Customboss UOA on the Amsoil OE at 7500 miles I believe proved it could be run longer.
