With fuel prices hovering around $4.00 per gallon nationwide consumers
are
searching for methods to save money without a major investment in a
smaller
more fuel efficient vehicle. The major oil companies are pulling in
huge
profits, yet I have not seen them aggressively promoting synthetic oil
and
the major fuel economy savings that it can provide. AMSOIL has 35
years
experience of producing the world`s finest PAO based synthetic motor
oil
and has countless testimonials and documented tests that show fuel
savings
of 3-5% up to 8-10%, or more in some cases.
Some people say AMSOIL is expensive. I say it`s FREE
Here`s why: Say you pay $34.95 to get your oil changed every 3000
miles.
That`s 8 oil changes to travel 24,000 miles at a cost of $279.60, not
including your time, for 8 trips to the quick lube. If you change it
yourself at a cost of $25.00 per change for the oil/filter then your
total
cost is $200.00. These are typical average costs people pay for quick
lube
and do it yourself oil changes nationwide.
Now, do it yourself using AMSOIL`s 5W-30 or 10W-30 25,000 mile/1-year
oil
at a retail cost of $7.70 per quart times 8 quarts (enough oil for
the
initial change, and enough to add as it is used during the course of
the
25,000 miles) plus one AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency 25,000 mile/1-year
oil
filter at a cost of $15.00. Your total cost is $61.60 plus $15.00 =
$76.60.
AMSOIL saves you $203.00 over the quick lube cost and $123.40 over the
do-
it-yourself cost on the oil and filter change alone. Additionally, if
you
drive 25,000 miles per year and get an average of 17 MPG you would use
1470
gallons of fuel per year. With an average conservative estimate of 5%
fuel
economy improvement with AMSOIL you would now only use 1396.50 gallons
of
fuel per year, which saves you 73.50 gallons of fuel per year times
$4.00
per gallon = $294.00 fuel savings.
With AMSOIL, your total savings now increase to $497.00 over the quick
lube
cost and $417.40 over the do-it-yourself cost. Therefore AMSOIL pays
for
itself and saves you time as well as reduces engine wear and increases
the
longevity of your engine and powertrain. If you change your
transmission
and differentials to AMSOIL your savings can increase even more.
This is real money that you can use to help you defray the high cost
of
fuel and vehicle maintenance. At $4.00 per gallon saving almost $500.00
per
year (per vehicle) is like getting 125 gallons of free fuel per year
for
each of your personal, family or company vehicles. As the cost of
fuel
increases beyond $4.00 per gallon, which it will eventually, your
savings
with AMSOIL will increase even more.
Even if you don`t drive 25,000 miles in a year and do less than 8 oil
changes per year, you are still saving money. If you become Preferred
Customer or Dealer you save even more money by purchasing AMSOIL at
wholesale prices (prices used in these calculations are retail
prices).
This generally will save you an additional approximately 25% or more
off the cost of the oil and filters. Dave Mann
