Rising
costs including raw materials, transportation, packaging and labor have prompted
most major and independent lubricant companies, including ExxonMobil*,
Valvoline*, Chevron*, Shell (Pennzoil)* and Castrol*, to announce up to 9-10
percent price increases effective in July and August. These rising costs also
affect AMSOIL, requiring us to implement an average price increase of 3 percent
in the U.S. and Canada effective Oct. 1, 2018. Despite this minimal price
increase, we continue to ensure superior-quality products while maintaining
competitive pricing. Commission credits will be increased accordingly.

Updated
pricing information is available in the Pricing Lookup in the Dealer and
Account Zones. To access pricing effective Oct. 1, select a product type in the
menu, then select “Future Pricing.” The AMSOIL Wholesale Price List (G3500,
G8500) should
be available in all distribution centers Sept. 4. The AMSOIL Retail Catalog
(G100, G300) and all market catalogs (Commercial Program [G3469, G3474],
Powersports & Racing [G3511, G3512], Retail Program [G3520, G3521] and
Automotive [G3549, G3550]) will be available with updated pricing in late
September and early October. Watch the Dealer Zone for announcements of
availability. We will notify your retail and commercial accounts of the price
adjustment in the printed and email versions of the September Service Line,
as well as provide a Wholesale Price List with the printed copy; we encourage
you to follow up with them in person as well.
