As an authorized AMSOIL Dealer and former Ford Motor Company engineer, many customers have asked me why AMSOIL doesn't sell products in many big-name automotive retailers and big box stores.

Why isn't AMSOIL sold in most stores?

AMSOIL is not sold in most big box stores and popular auto retailers like AutoZone, Walmart or Costco for a few reasons:

1. AMSOIL primarily uses an independent dealer network to sell its products directly to customers and businesses. This model was established by the founder Al Amatuzio to educate customers on the benefits of synthetic oils when they were new to the market. Maintaining this dealer network protects the business opportunities for these independent AMSOIL dealers.
2. AMSOIL wants to avoid giving large retail chains a competitive advantage that could make it difficult for smaller local businesses like auto repair shops, powersports dealers, and other service providers that sell and use AMSOIL products. These local businesses often provide value-added services along with the products.
3. AMSOIL positions itself as a premium quality product focused on performance over lowest price. Major retail chains typically seek the lowest-priced products to stock their shelves, which goes against AMSOIL's philosophy of not compromising quality.

From AMSOIL:

We think it’s important that AMSOIL products are available primarily at businesses that offer specialized products and services. As such, we don’t sell directly to national chains because they can gain a competitive advantage that makes it less desirable for local or regional businesses that offer repair, installation or other value-added services.

Typically big box stores put in very large purchase orders and in doing so, they can also dictate the price that they want to pay. In order for AMSOIL to meet prices that big box stores want to pay, AMSOIL would have to cut the quality to meet the lower price, and that is not something AMSOIL is willing to do.
