Old  man... it's a CULT....  just like how most people buy their  parts....



It is not a cult - But is seemingly close to that other "AM" - if not in  
the "pyramid" style of distribution - (I believe all Amsoil dealers buy 
direct)  - certainly in the "indoctrination style" and the "us vs. them" outlook 
on the  industry. I am absolutely sure it is good oil. Buying it, or not, is 
a business  decision. I honestly don't believe it is that hard to produce a 
good oil. The  companies choose the quality of their product and then 
decide how to market it.  Sometimes the marketing turns you on - Sometimes it 
turns you off. Almost every  time I hear a sales pitch that puts down the 
competition, it turns me off. Extol  your virtues and values. You can even claim 
you are the best. But don't say the  competition is trying to screw you over 
or that the other guy is lying to  you. I remember a line from my childhood 
- so many years ago.
