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.
