Is the AMSOIL Preferred Customer membership worth it?
Yes, if you buy about $80 or more of AMSOIL products at retail prices in a year. At roughly 25% off, that saves about $20, which covers the $20 fee. Beyond that, each extra dollar saves about 25 cents, and you also get free shipping on orders of $100 or more, a $5 birthday gift (US), $5 back for every $100 spent, and free renewal after $500 in purchases in a membership year.
Skip it if you will buy only a quart or two once a year. Discounts are “up to 25%” and AMSOIL can change terms, so check the sign-up page before you pay.
How much does the AMSOIL Preferred Customer membership cost?
| Option | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Six-month trial | $10 | Can be bought only once. After it, renew yearly to stay a Preferred Customer. |
| One-year membership | $20 | Can be renewed indefinitely. |
| Five-year membership | See AMSOIL checkout | Offered by AMSOIL. Free renewal is earned by spending $500 in the final year. |
Free renewal: spend $500 or more on products during your membership year and AMSOIL extends your membership by a year at no charge. New members who spend $500 during the six-month trial also qualify. Membership fees, taxes and shipping do not count toward the $500.

What you get as an AMSOIL Preferred Customer
| Benefit | How it works |
|---|---|
| Wholesale pricing | AMSOIL says Preferred Customers pay wholesale cost, approximately 25% less than suggested retail (“up to 25%” on the sign-up banner). It applies to AMSOIL products when you are signed in. |
| Free shipping | On orders of $100 or more in the US ($130 in Canada), applied when you are signed in to your account. |
| Birthday gift | A $5 coupon for US members. Keep your birthday current on the My Rewards page; AMSOIL has asked members to update it at least 14 days before the birthday month. |
| Spend rewards | US: $5 back for every $100 spent. Canada: 5% off your next order for every $100 spent (up to a $5 value), per AMSOIL’s 2026 program update. Check My Rewards for current terms. |
| Exclusive offers | Member promotions throughout the year, sent by email. |
| Free renewal | One free year when you spend $500 or more in a membership year. |
| AMSOIL Magazine | Quarterly magazine with product details, technical articles and the catalog. |
Reward expiry: birthday and spend coupons expire after 180 days, per published program details. Your code and expiry date are listed on My Rewards. If a membership lapses, unused rewards and credit toward future rewards are forfeited, so renew on time.
Is the Preferred Customer membership worth it? The break-even math
Let R be what your yearly AMSOIL purchases would cost at suggested retail. Your savings are about 0.25 × R. The membership breaks even when 0.25 × R reaches $20, which is R = $80 at retail (about $60 at your member price). Estimates below use exactly 25% and ignore rewards, tax and shipping.
| Yearly purchases at retail | Member-price cost (≈75%) | Saved before fee | Net after $20 fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| $80 | $60 | $20 | $0 (break-even) |
| $200 | $150 | $50 | $30 |
| $400 | $300 | $100 | $80 |
| $800 | $600 | $200 | $180 (and the $500+ spend earns free renewal) |

Who benefits most: households with two or more vehicles, trucks and diesels, motorcycles and powersports, and DIYers who also buy filters, gear lube and fluids. Who should skip it: anyone buying one small order a year. Longer drain intervals depend on the specific product and your driving, so follow the product data sheet and your owner’s manual.
Join takes about five minutes, and you can start ordering as soon as you pay.

Will AMSOIL void my vehicle warranty?
Not just for using it. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2302(c)), a manufacturer cannot void a warranty simply because you used a non-brand part or fluid. Coverage can still be denied if the product itself caused the damage, or if the oil does not meet the viscosity and specification your owner’s manual requires. The FTC’s interpretations of the Act explain this.
- Choose the viscosity and approvals your manual lists (for example API or OEM specifications).
- Keep receipts and service records. Missed maintenance is a bigger warranty risk than oil brand.
- Some European makers require OEM approval codes. Check the AMSOIL product data sheet for the exact approval.
- This is general information, not legal advice. In Canada, check your warranty booklet and provincial rules.
Where to buy AMSOIL safely
AMSOIL products are sold through AMSOIL.com and AMSOIL.ca, independent AMSOIL Dealers and authorized retail or installer accounts, not through big-box stores. Marketplace listings (Amazon, eBay and similar) are outside AMSOIL’s authorized channels, so freshness and support are not guaranteed. A Preferred Customer membership lets you buy direct at wholesale cost. See where to buy AMSOIL in the US and Canada and my take on whether AMSOIL is the best oil.
AMSOIL Preferred Customer FAQ
What is the AMSOIL Preferred Customer program?
A paid membership that lets individuals buy AMSOIL products at wholesale cost, about 25% below suggested retail, with free shipping on larger orders and member rewards. It is for personal use, and there is no selling or minimum order.
How much does it cost?
$10 for a six-month trial (available once) or $20 per year. AMSOIL also offers a five-year option at checkout.
Is the membership worth it?
It pays for itself once you buy roughly $80 of products at retail prices in a year. Heavy users, multi-vehicle households and diesel or powersports owners save the most.
How does free renewal work?
Spend $500 or more on products in your membership year and AMSOIL extends your membership by a year. Fees, taxes and shipping do not count. New members who spend $500 during the six-month trial also qualify, and you must reach $500 each year to keep earning free renewal.
Do I need to buy a minimum amount?
No. There is no minimum order or required auto-ship for the membership. Free shipping starts at $100 in the US ($130 in Canada).
Do rewards and coupons expire?
Yes. Birthday and spend coupons expire after 180 days, and your My Rewards page shows each code and expiry date. If your membership lapses, unused rewards are forfeited.
Can Canadians join?
Yes. Canadian members order through AMSOIL.ca, get free shipping at $130 CAD, and earn 5% off a future order per $100 spent (up to $5), according to AMSOIL’s 2026 update. Confirm current terms at sign-up.
What is the difference between Preferred Customer and Dealer?
Both buy at wholesale. A Dealer pays $100 USD / $130 CAD per year and can earn commissions by registering customers. A Preferred Customer pays $20 and buys only for personal use.
Will using AMSOIL void my warranty?
Not simply for using it. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void coverage merely because you used a non-brand fluid, but it can deny a claim if the product caused the damage or did not meet the required specification.
Can I use a Preferred Customer account for my business?
Preferred Customer is for personal use. Businesses with fleets or equipment should look at an AMSOIL commercial account.
How do I return a product?
Follow AMSOIL’s published Return Policy on AMSOIL.com or contact AMSOIL customer service. Return windows and conditions are set by AMSOIL.
Pay about 25% less on every AMSOIL order
$10 six-month trial or $20 per year. No minimums, nothing to sell.
