Saw on their site today that prices will be going up 6% as of August 1. They cited higher costs for base oils in the last 6 months, as well as additives and production costs for the last 5 years.
Seems like another of the many changes in the company since the Founder retired.
I was already on the fence and now I'm past it. Amsoil is very good oil but with them having scaled back to non synthetic bases for the lower tiers (insert discussion about how Group III is just as good as synthetic bases nowadays) and charging more for their products, I'm glad I've made the move to Schaeffer Oil.
(I did buy a case of filters for the F150 though, THAT quality and price hasn't changed)
