AMSOIL Knowledge Base & Commitment to Excellence

I go to the AMSOIL HQ in the Twin Ports cities of Duluth/Superior at least once every year. There we have three to five days to pick up on industry trends, hear from suppliers, tour the latest plant/lab/research facilities and meet with the corporate staff.
Their purpose is to show us the how, why and what they are doing to stay ahead of the industry, never compromising on quality and of course the changing trends in the lubricants world.

Occasionally we hear from suppliers and they also tell us we should have no worries that AMSOIL will lose their lead in the marketplace as even the largest names in lubricants outsource almost all research involving evolving markets and as new chemistries are found. They simply don’t have the type of staff needed to keep up with AMSOIL’s 43 years of trend setting. AMSOIL doesn’t wait or rely on supplier “Trending Seminars” to know which direction they need to go..

It’s important for the customer to know that AMSOIL is focused on being the most reliable and ready to meet any need within the automotive enthusiast market. Just like communications technology, when you buy AMSOIL products you don’t have to worry if the grease is up to the latest standard for your excavating equipment or if the 2-cycle outboard oil will be honored by your warranty.

Ford, Chrysler, GM and European cars now all have models which call for a specific viscosity or manufacturer specification which is not part of the norm and must be followed. We also cover these specifics as well. In fact, we are willing to say that your vehicle will perform better and parts will last longer than when using the OEM labeled product.

If you are looking to buy in our Sioux Falls store and have specific questions I can save you some time. Call me directly and I can help you know what to look for before you arrive. My direct number is 605-274-2580. As for product info AMSOIL’s website has a great resource for looking up products. Use this link to open the tables and cross-reference pages for all vehicles and equipment.

If you are not in the immediate area you can order at wholesale via AMSOIL’s preferred Customer membership program which also saves you 20 to 30% off and you can use it in the store to save more as long as you join under the above link. Another option is to call 1-800-579-0580 as we use Speedee Delivery and can ship anywhere in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois for about 40% less than UPS plus you will save the sales tax.

Thank you once again for reading our AMSOIL Dealer blog and hope to hear from you!!

The Answer to 2-cycle Lawn Equipment Problems – Saber Pro 100:1

AMSOIL’s 2nd oldest product still raises the most eyebrows!! That’s because the company firmly stands behind the lofty 100:1 in any two-stroke premix motor. It took me years to also trust that number but not only did I follow it with impressive results, I was able to question the lab techs about it in person at the AMSOIL HQ in Wisconsin.

It’s a good sign when small engine retailers send their customer to our Sioux Falls shop for oil for their new STIHL products but for years prior I had several Texas customers swear by it in their commercial landscaping equipment being ran full throttle all day in the Texas heat.

Then at the HQ I learn twice now Southwest Research tested it against the competition (50:1 until the equipment failed) and ours starting at 100:1 and then later to 300:1 without failure. Yes, if the engine fails while using AMSOIL Saber Pro at 100:1 and it is an oil related failure, they will replace the motor. They do not hide from this!! And your warranties are secure.

The company assures that if you are not comfortable at 100:1 you can rich it up to 80:1 or even any OEM mix ratio if you want but the performance will not be optimum. They also showed the dealers at the yearly training that even at 100:1 the customers equipment will experience less fouling, remain cleaner and last longer. This is because the overall temperatures will be reduced and you can operate at the same speed using less fuel. The evidence is staggering.

It’s a smart choice for owners of Husqvarna, Echo, Stihl, Lawnboy, Homelite and more. It is just as impressive and adds performance to motorcycles, hard ridden dirt bikes and scooters. Some moped owners claim an extra 4 or 5 MPH never reached before.

Another thing to take in consideration is the value. The most popular size is the 8 ounce bottle. This bottle is designed to treat six gallons of gasoline. I recommend 80:1 only because it’s easier to mix so that eight ounce bottle will treat the popular 5-gallon tanks. Quarts are available which treat up to 24 gallons and a whole quart case treats up to 288 gallons of gasoline!

The gallon is priced even better and treats up to 96 gallons or 80 at 80:1.

And the simple Pillow Packs which treat one single gallon. No mistakes. Popular with ice fishing.

100:1 Synthetic 2-stroke oil in simple 1-gallon treatment squeeze packages.
