The 2012 National Oil & Lube News Fast Lube Operators Survey indicates significant growth for synthetic motor oils and increasing oil change intervals. While synthetics accounted for 11 percent of total motor oil sales at fast lubes in 2011, the percentage increased to 15 percent in 2012. The average customer oil change interval increased 6 percent from 4,520 to 4,777 miles.
Demonstrating the inroads AMSOIL Dealers have made in the fast-lube industry, AMSOIL placed fifth on the list of top-selling synthetic motor oils, with 4 percent of fast lubes listing it as their top-selling synthetic oil.
Every Dealer should have at least one registered installer account to which they can send people who do not want to change their own oil. The AMSOIL Installer Kit (G250) contains all the materials necessary to make five sales presentations and register two installer accounts.
