If you’ve noticed your AMSOIL oil filter out of stock on certain sizes, you’re not imagining it — and you’re not alone. Here’s what happened and what to do about it.
Here’s what happened.
One of AMSOIL’s filter manufacturing partners unexpectedly halted production earlier this year. This wasn’t an AMSOIL problem — it was an industry-wide disruption that hit a lot of brands at once. AMSOIL was caught in the middle of it like everyone else, and certain filter SKUs went out of stock as a result.
The good news is AMSOIL moved quickly. Rather than leaving dealers and customers without options, they secured a large supply of WIX and WIX XP oil filters to bridge the gap. As specific AMSOIL-branded filters run out of stock, AMSOIL is recommending the appropriate WIX equivalent as a direct temporary replacement. WIX is a well-regarded filter brand — this isn’t a downgrade, it’s a practical solution while supply gets sorted out.
A few things worth knowing:
- AMSOIL has confirmed they are actively working with a new supplier to restore their branded filter lineup
- WIX filters will continue to be available through AMSOIL going forward — the XP line is the stopgap, but standard WIX will remain a permanent option
- The oil side of things is completely unaffected — this is a filter supply issue only
If you’re mid-drain interval and need a filter, check the AMSOIL oil filter out of stock situation for your specific part number. If it’s unavailable, AMSOIL has a WIX cross-reference chart — use it without hesitation.
