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.
Availability of Printed Materials
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.

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.
