Is there any incentive to buy the stuff from an online Amsoil dealer? If I buy it locally, there's no shipping charge. Do local dealers charge over list price?
Why buy Amsoil online?

Maybe your big chains?
Amsoil used to be more expensive at our local big *almost* hardware-chain, Canadian Tire, but not anymore. I still wouldn't buy it at regular price however, and NO ONE stock the Signature Series.

I didn't know Amsoil is sold in stores; it isn't down here to my knowledge. When I said buying it locally, I meant buying it from private dealer. Looking to get some ATF.

if you guys can find a place in los angeles with regular pricing it will be greatly appreciated!!
It's much cheaper (shipping included) to but it mail-order from one of our forum members then to pay retail at a local store.

I just found out recently a store stocks amsoil so I'm goin to check it out and see what exactly they carry.
If they carry what I want and need,no more ordering online for me.
My dad was telling me about this store,but cannot recall the name off-hand

Well - first of all how about paying the same price and buying from a forum sponsor and supporting BITOG?
Second of all, if you have anything approaching a case or greater than $80-100, it always makes sense to sign up as a preferred customer through a forum sponsor and pay way less than retail.
Third, retail outlets typically have a limited variety of products in very limited quantities, whereas forum sponsors can get any of the products and in most places in the US, you will have it in 2-4 days.

Fourth, if you buy from a dealer who stocks it, many times you're getting something that has sat on his shelf for a while. When you buy online or over the phone through the company, you're getting fresh product every time. Keep in mind that Amsoil is always improving/updating their stuff, like they did with SSO in 07.

Very true. Thanks!
5th, once you buy from Pablo, you'll wonder why you didn't buy from him sooner.
Can one sign up as a PC at a supply center using a dealer's #?
The dealer would have to give you their ZO number, then you can sign up online or if they have a form to sign you up onsite.
I understand what you guys are saying and would like to support a sponsor but an extra $17 for shipping and tax is a steep premium over buying it from my local guy no?
Depends on how much the local guy charges. What all are you needing?

Or you can drive by the AMSOIL store in San Carlos, CA.

Why would I get charged shipping, the guy is 5 miles away.
