Interstingly, the bottles are shaped just like the Amsoil bottles.

Not earth shattering news but something to consider if you come across Amsoil at a better price than the Volvo branded oil.

I use amsoil for everything. may be a bit more expensive but worth every penny.

I agree and do the same with all my lawn equipment. Clean oil is probably the single most important part of engine maintenance that one can do. Unfortunately I have to order it online as there is no one close to me that sells it that I am aware of.

To save a couple of bucks buy directly from the Amsoil store dot com. Much better pricing going direct and alot of monthly specials you can take advantage of as well.

Where/how do you find out about the monthly specials?

I get emails on specials when they are on products I normally purchase,you can also when looking for fluids when you get to pricing it'll give saving options. I just bought a 55 gallon drum of oil and it was alot less expensive than if I bought it from Windward Petro. I use the same oil in all my vehicles and the boat so I don't mind buying in bulk.

We buy a 30 gallon drum of injector oil every 2 years for the sleds.
I've been running it in all our car's, trucks, my baja, lawn mower, atv's and even use the 2 cycle premix that goes in every 2 stroke reguardless of mixture. Mix up one gallon of gas for chain saws, weed wackers, blower which normally have different mixtures.
Switched over to Amsoil on my forst oil change on the KLR 650 and my milage went from 44 mpg to an even 50 and has stayed there since.
