There are many more pieces of data, here are just a few that I find interesting:
Cost of goods for standard, full service LOF: $12.18
Break-even car count: 27.75
Miles customer drive between oil changes: 4597
Vehicles equipped with oil monitors: 41%
Miles driven between OCs by vehicles with monitors: 4686
(and miles driven between OCs by vehicles with monitors has DROPPED for three straight years)
Overall breakdown of Motor Oil Sales:
Conventional: 47%
Synthetic Blend: 9%
Full Synthetic: 15%
High Mileage: 18%
Diesel: 10%
Re-refined or "green": 1%
other: 1%
Overall breakdown of motor oil sales by weight/grade:
0W-20: 13%
5W-20: 29%
5W-30: 39%
10W-30: 6%
5W-40: 1%
15W-40: 1%
other: 1%
By an overwhelmingly HUGE margin, engine air filters are by far the best selling "add-on" service. Headlight restoration is a big business.
