Holiday Green Guide: Interviews with Green Businesses

Interview with Harry Rakfeldt

Harry Rakfeldt owns his own business and is a Direct Distributor of AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants, helping people drive as green as they can, with their conventional cars.

RM: When did you become an AMSOIL Direct Dealer?

HR: I’ve used these products for over 29 years, but didn’t begin to ‘work the business’ until some 12 years ago.

RM: How long has AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants been around and how would you describe them?

HR: AMSOIL was developed in the early 1970's by A. J. Amatuzio. In 1972 AMSOIL premium synthetic engine oil was recommended for up to one year or 25,000 miles between changes. That was a quantum leap in technology. They are the most advanced lubricants on the market today; they significantly outperform conventional products in all applications and criteria.

RM: What makes AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants environmentally responsible?

HR: From cradle to grave, AMSOIL synthetics tread more lightly on the environment. First they do not use crude oil; we immediately have resource conservation. Because synthetics perform much longer than conventional products, fewer products overall are produced for a given customer’s needs. There is less packaging, less resultant waste, less disposal, less handling, less time and inconvenience, and less energy used in production, distribution and in use.

RM: So how did you get involved with AMSOIL?

HR: Having been associated with advanced technologies during my naval career, it was logical that when I learned about synthetics and their virtual night-and-day performance improvements over conventional products, I became a user because I wanted the best products available and later wanted to provide insight to others that there is an option to regular oil that benefits people and planet.

RM: What are your goals as an AMSOIL Direct Dealer?

HR: First, make people aware that there is a viable option to regular oil. Second, convert as many as I can away from conventional oil. Third, make people feel good about doing good when using AMSOIL synthetic lubes, The Right Environmental Choice.

RM: What is the one message you would like to give people about your business?

HR: AMSOIL – It’s How to be GREEN – even save money -- with OIL!

RM: Any Holiday gift suggestions?

HR: Surprise someone with or give yourself an AMSOIL (drive green) oil change for the Holiday. And for those who have larger inventories of cars, boats, equipment and I will show them how to buy at Wholesale as a Preferred Customer – direct to the Factory.

RM: Harry, anything else you'd like to tell readers?

HR: When we strive for conservation and efficiency in many areas, shouldn’t we look for the same in our lubricants? Yes. Yet, the common thinking is that ‘all oils are created equal.’ Fact: They are not. The “best” oils are man-made synthetic hydrocarbon lubricants. Let me show you how and why true synthetic oils are superior to traditional petroleum oils. Then it’s your choice.

Thank you Harry!
