Transcripts
here we go and let me pull up the open
mics coming at you in three two one hey
Larry could you give a brief description
or a uh for the three lines of Amsoil
oil and just a brief difference between
the three and what makes Signature
Series the Cadillac of the three thanks
well yeah Amsoil does have uh some
downline oils
um they have their XL series and they
have their OE series which these oils
are the OE series is made to meet the
car manufacturers
um suggested change intervals in other
words they are not extended drain oils
uh so you know if let's say if your car
manufacturer recommends to change the
oil over 5 000 mile then you would do
the same with the OE series oils
Excel most of those are recommended to
change over 7 500 miles
and of course your signature series is
the Cadillac of the Cadillac of oils
that there's not really anything that I
know of currently available anywhere
that will compete with the signature
series line of Amsoil products
um those oils are made for extended
drain intervals Amsoil itself will even
tell you to run them to 25
000 mile between changes me I don't care
if you do that that's fine and dandy but
I would want the oil sent out for
analysis at least halfway through just
to make sure it is suitable for
continued use that the reason for that
being is and the reason I have that kind
of a stand with it is for the simple
fact you can't just automatically assume
oil is going to be good now the oil you
can't kill the oil you can Amsoil is
probably good indefinitely that's that's
how the oil is made you got to remember
the same Signature Series oil that we're
using is a byproduct basically of what
they generally lubricate jet turbine
engines with so it's an Incredible Oil
uh and and you you know in an automotive
application it's kind of silly even
Engineers will you know chemical
Engineers will tell you you don't need
to run something that good in an
internal combustion engine you know
unless you want the engine to last
forever basically is what they're pretty
much telling you but you know it is an
Incredible Oil but running into extended
drain intervals I'm a mechanic you know
I I look at it from another end as the
chemist does the thing is if you've got
a fuel control problem let's say you get
fuel contamination in your in your
engine oil some most of it will
evaporate out you know but in some cases
it may not and unless you send the oil
out for an analysis and make sure that
that oil isn't contaminated with
something you know glycol from coolant
or uh you know fuel then you don't know
you know and of course when somebody has
a problem first thing they're going to
blame it on the oil of course you know
even if it was contaminated with
something so that's the reason I say you
know even your overall semis and stuff
like that you know you've got to look at
it like this so many of them only change
oil when the analysis comes back and
says it's time to change the oil because
you're not going to change you know 16
gallons of oil every 3 000 mile you're
going to try to get as much service life
out of that oil as you possibly can
that's the reason your trucking
companies you know they send all their
oils out for analysis and let's see in
you know the analysis companies tell
them when service is due on that engine
you know we're talking Detroit and
Collins caterpillar all these you know
big diesel engines so oil analysis is
very very important and Amsoil like I
said you know they tell you to use it
all for 25 000 once a year and you know
and they warranty your your engine
against lubrication failure so you know
they don't have very many engine
failures let's just put it that away you
know but it is an incredible product and
you know I primarily only stock and sell
the signature series you know second
best in any category is just that's not
what me or Magic Mechanic has ever been
been about you know I want to deal with
customers that want to keep their cars
in pristine condition and get the
maximum life out of them and I
wholeheartedly believe that Amsoil is
the only way that I know of to do it you
know I look at it like this if a
customer keeps their car two and three
hundred thousand Mile and it keeps
running great you know shoot that's the
kid that's the cars that the grandkids
get and and we still keep working on
them you know so you got to look at it
like this I said you may never buy a
motor transmission as long as I'm
maintaining your car but you know you
got to look at it like this you're
you're going to have other issues you
know electric power windows you're going
to have belts and hoses and an
occasional tune-up and things of that
nature I said but as long as you're not
buying Motors and Transmissions you know
folks want to keep the vehicles and
that's that's why I think Amsoil is such
an important part of our business and
you know it it has built so much
Customer Loyalty just because this has
been been proven over and over and over
that's why I swear by Amsoil products
you know it is an incredible company and
they have built some impenetrable you
know lubricants over the last well since
72 uh so yeah that's pretty much it as
far as the the differences in those oils
some are made the signature series is
made to you can beat that oil to death
just about as long as you want I
recommend fifteen thousand mile or once
a year so and the other ones you do not
run them that long you know they're not
made for that type of an extended drain
interval so I hope that answers your
question I appreciate your open mic hi
