Amsoil
I sent a little email to the Superior WI chamber of commerce looking for
Amsoil's refinery that seems to be just vaporware. The nice lady sent me: Good Afternoon, The AMSOIL HQ (office Only)is locatd at 925 Tower Avenue. The Plant/Warehouse is located at 2206 Winter Street. For further information you can contact them directly: 2206 Winter Street is a warehouse park. Dolly Madison has a warehouse there, as does many other businesses, all in this strip warehouse facility. One lady I called that has a warehouse to rent at 2206 says "Amsoil's on the other end from us." The warehouse for rent is 22K sq ft, as are the others....no room for a refinery. I'm still looking.....(c; Now I'm curious where Amsoil makes soap powder and health product, too! Google finds nothing.... -- Larry |

what the hell is your point?

I have purchased product there. It's a big set of buildings, part
offices and some warehouses. It doesn't look like a refinery (no big round things or smoke and flames) but is large. They are moving some of their operations into another set of buildings this month. They buy product from other refineries and blend it themselves; they do not refine anything. I use it in all my marine engines except outboards. Ask me in 10 years whether it was a good idea. Capt.

It's a pyramid dealer scheme like Amway, AMsoil - AMway.....coincidence?? Synthetic oil is not necessarily produced in a refinery - more like a chemical plant. Many oil companies do not refine their own oil. We've got several distributors in this county, and they supply the service stations that have different brand names, all from the same tanks. Amsoil and Amway are both MLM organizations, but that doesn't mean that the product is bad. We use Amsoil in all applications on both the boat and all the cars (we have 20 cars, but only about 4 of them are currently on the road). Bob has enough business that he can have a dealership all by himself, what with the cars and the boats. He doesn't need to recruit others - he just orders what he needs and they deliver it to our door. grandma Rosalie |

Large cracking plants are not required. krj |

You think they make it one quart at a time? I doubt it....What's in Superior at the home office is a bottling plant out behind Dolly Madison, or so the Dolly Madison people tell me. I'm just trying to figure out what they're bottling that's so expensive....Mobile 1? -- Larry |

Larry, you seem to be hung up on the fact that they don't make it
themselves. I don't see what the issue is, private labeling is extremely common marketing. So they by by the barrel and sell by the quart, big deal. I have a much bigger problem with the MLM aspect of it. It's the cultism of the MLM's that gives me the creeps. After reading this thread, I kept asking myself, what is 'synthetic' oil anyway. So I went to one of my favorite sites, answers.com. http://www.answers.com/synthetic%20oil http://www.answers.com/Fischer-Tropsch%20process John "Larry" wrote in message ... krj wrote in : I thought Amsoil was a synthetic, not a refined petroleum product.
