Capabilities

Tools 8

account_options

Who each AMSOIL account type is for, how it differs from the others, and the enrollment link with dealer referral zo=30734402: shopping without an account, Preferred Customer membership, commercial, retail, installer, and independent dealer. Also returns currentOffers: the AMSOIL promo codes running now for that account type (or all, when type is omitted), with their terms, dates, and links carrying zo=30734402.

Discovered
contact_dealer

How to reach Jeff Pittman, the independent AMSOIL dealer behind A1 Synthetic Oil, and what to include when asking for help choosing a product or account.

Discovered
get_product

Full A1 guidance for one product: description, fitment notes, a common question, the U.S. and Canadian product codes, and the AMSOIL shopping link with dealer referral zo=30734402.

Discovered
list_categories

Every product category with its product count and A1 catalog page.

Discovered
nearest_distribution_centers

The three closest AMSOIL distribution centers in the same country as a U.S. ZIP code or Canadian postal code, by straight-line distance. These are AMSOIL facilities, not A1 locations, and the nearest one may not fulfill an order.

Discovered
search_products

Search the AMSOIL catalog by product name, product code, viscosity grade (for example 5W-30), product type, or category, with the same ranking and typo tolerance as the a1syntheticoil.com catalog search. Returns product codes, the A1 product page, the AMSOIL shopping link with dealer referral zo=30734402, matching categories, and related A1 guides. Does not return prices or stock.

Discovered
shop_links

AMSOIL product links with dealer referral zo=30734402 for up to 25 product codes, plus the storefront link. The user opens each link, chooses the package size, and checks out on AMSOIL.

Discovered
suggest_for_vehicle

Matches the viscosity grade and specification a vehicle's owner's manual lists to AMSOIL products, with shopping links carrying dealer referral zo=30734402 and the official AMSOIL lookup link for confirming the exact fit. It does not look up vehicles: give the requirements from the manual. Without them it returns questions to ask (needs) instead of guessing.
