South Florida dealership service lanes can source Ford Motorcraft motor oil and ATF, Mopar ATF+4 for Stellantis vehicles, and GM dexos-licensed oils from a single wholesale account at American Oil Wholesale in Hialeah. We carry Motorcraft fluids, the genuine Mopar ATF+4, and GM dexos-licensed oils including dexos1 Gen 2 and Gen 3 certified products, all available for high-volume service lanes with next-day delivery within Miami-Dade County or warehouse pickup at our Hialeah location, minutes from the Port of Miami.
Dealership parts departments have historically split purchasing across several supplier channels to get each OEM's branded fluid. Consolidating onto one wholesale account cuts the number of invoices, delivery coordination, and minimum-order hurdles, without substituting non-licensed fluids for OEM-specified ones. This guide walks through which fluids a South Florida dealership service lane should stock, what each OEM's spec requirement means for ordering, and where the OEM-brand case formats end and the same-spec drum alternatives begin.
Motorcraft: Ford's OEM fluid line, stocked in case formats
Motorcraft is Ford Motor Company's factory brand, which means these are not third-party "compatible" products but Ford's own fluids carrying Ford's own specs. We carry Motorcraft fluids covering what Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles actually require, from passenger-car grades to Power Stroke diesel grades, all in quart-case formats.
The most frequently stocked Motorcraft items in a dealership service lane:
- Motor oil: Motorcraft Full Synthetic Motor Oil SAE 5W-30 anchors the passenger-car side, with the full synthetic 0W-20 and 5W-20 grades alongside it, all in 12-quart cases. Motorcraft Synthetic Blend Motor Oil SAE 5W-20, with the 5W-30 and 10W-30 blend grades, adds a 3/5-quart case option. For Ford 6.7L Power Stroke work, Motorcraft Super Duty Diesel Motor Oil SAE 15W-40 and the 5W-40 and 10W-30 Super Duty grades ship in both 12-quart and 3/5-quart cases. These carry the API and Ford-designated spec markers the service bay needs to document the fill.
- Mercon V ATF: Ford Motor Company specifies Mercon V for a wide range of Ford automatic transmission applications; our reps can confirm which applications call for Mercon V versus newer Ford fluid specifications. Motorcraft Mercon V ATF stocks in 12-quart cases, the Ford-brand fill for warranty-documented transmission work.
Genuine Motorcraft fluid ships in cases only; there is no Motorcraft drum SKU. The drum play on Ford ATF volume is the non-OEM-brand alternative on the same specification, clearly labeled as such: American Oil Automatic Transmission Fluid Mercon V in 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes, and Prime Guard Mercon V ATF in 55-gallon drums. A 55-gallon drum holds the equivalent of about 220 quarts at a single wholesale rate, and one drum delivery replaces roughly 18 quart-case picks, which cuts receiving, stacking, and storage labor on the shop floor. A common split is Motorcraft cases for warranty-documented fills and a same-spec drum for out-of-warranty fluid exchanges; which jobs land on which side is your service department's call.
Mopar ATF+4: the factory fill for Stellantis vehicles
Mopar ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is the genuine factory-specified automatic transmission fluid for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles built by Stellantis (formerly FCA). It is not simply a fluid that "meets the ATF+4 specification," it is the FCA-sourced product itself. We carry the Mopar ATF+4 SKU in 6-quart cases for service lanes that handle warranty transmission service on Stellantis platforms.
ATF+4 is a specific Stellantis specification, separate from the generic Dexron or Mercon families, and one that is not interchangeable with universal ATF products. For a South Florida dealership running Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks, Jeep Grand Cherokees, and Dodge Durango service, stocking genuine Mopar ATF+4 eliminates any fluid-compliance question on transmission work.
We also carry Prime Guard ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid, a second sourcing option on the same spec at account pricing, in 6-quart cases and, for volume programs, in 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes; consult the product data sheet for the exact FCA specification coverage.
GM dexos: the licensing program and what to stock
GM's dexos licensing program certifies specific oil formulations for use in GM gasoline engines. The program requires certification testing and GM-administered periodic audits; only oils that carry the GM dexos designation have passed that process (GM dexos program). The current standard for modern GM gasoline engines is dexos1 Gen 3, which tightened oxidation and deposit-control requirements compared to the prior dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
Two things a dealership service lane needs to know:
- Gen 3-licensed oil can be used in Gen 2 applications, but check your service procedures for the reverse. GM's guidance is that Gen 3 is the recommended fill for 2021 and newer GM gasoline engines; always verify the year-specific service requirement before the fill.
- The oil must carry the dexos license, not just a "meets dexos" claim. An unlicensed oil that claims to meet the spec has not undergone GM's batch certification process (GM dexos program).
We carry Duramax Full Synthetic Motor Oil XLT Dexos1 Gen2 SAE 0W-20 and Duramax Full Synthetic Motor Oil XLT Dexos1 Gen2 SAE 10W-30, both GM-licensed, in 12-quart cases. For service lanes requiring the current dexos1 Gen 3 certification, we also carry Starfire Full Synthetic Motor Oil 0W-20 Dexos Gen 3 and Starfire Full Synthetic Motor Oil Dexos Gen 3 SAE 5W-30, both in 12-quart cases. A service lane stocking both lines has a GM-licensed option on hand for every dexos-spec fill, whether the application calls for Gen 2 or Gen 3.
Volume formats for a dealership service bay
A dealership service bay typically moves more fluid per week than a general repair shop, which shifts the cost math across case, pail, and drum formats:
- Quart cases (6 or 12 quarts per case) are the standard format for the OEM-branded lines: Mopar ATF+4 ships in 6-quart cases, while Motorcraft motor oil, Motorcraft Mercon V, and the dexos-licensed oils ship in 12-quart cases, with 3/5-quart cases available on several Motorcraft grades.
- 5-gallon pails drop the cost per quart compared to case pricing on supporting grades that move at moderate volume, such as American Oil GL-5 Gear Oil SAE 80W-90 and American Oil AW-46 Hydraulic Oil.
- 55-gallon drums are the high-volume format for a single grade at scale, available on the same-spec non-OEM-brand alternatives covered above: American Oil Mercon V, Prime Guard Mercon V, and Prime Guard ATF+4. One drum holds about 220 quarts, handled in one delivery instead of roughly 18 cases, which reduces receiving, storage, and dispense labor considerably.
We offer next-day delivery within Miami-Dade County for orders placed before 3 PM. Broward and Palm Beach deliveries run on scheduled route days for each city. Pickup at our Hialeah warehouse at 8090 W 30th Ct is always available and skips the delivery fee. COD terms are standard; our reps discuss payment arrangements with established accounts.
Consolidating your OEM fluid program on one account
A dealership carrying Ford, Stellantis, and GM franchise bays, or any combination of those brands, can put Motorcraft, Mopar, and dexos-spec oils on a single American Oil Wholesale account. One account means one invoice per delivery, one rep to call, and one route-day pickup regardless of how many OEM fluid lines your service department runs.
For European makes serviced at volume, we stock American Oil Full Synthetic Euro Motor Oil in SAE 0W-40 and SAE 5W-40, euro-viscosity oils in 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes. These are not OEM-branded products, so match the product data sheet to the approval your service procedure requires before ordering.
Beyond the OEM-affiliated fluids, our catalog covers the full range of supporting products a service lane needs: coolants and antifreeze, gear oil, DEF (diesel exhaust fluid), brake fluid, and additives. We carry 700-plus products from 50-plus brands out of our Hialeah warehouse, and we export to the Caribbean and Latin America for dealership groups with multi-country operations.
