As a jet fighter
squadron commander LIEUTENANT
COLONEL ALBERT J. AMATUZIO had ample
opportunity to witness synthetic lubricants
in action. These oils are used exclusively
in jet engines because of three extraordinary
performance characteristics: an ability to
reduce friction and wear on engine components,
an ability to function dependably at severe
temperature extremes and an ability to withstand
rigorous and lengthy engine operation without
chemical breakdown |
| Recognizing that these same benefits would
prove invaluable in combustion engines, Al
Amatuzio formulated the first synthetic motor
oil in the world to meet API service requirements
for automobile engines. The new lubricant performed
like no other before it. When the first can
of AMSOIL 10W-40 appeared on the market in
1972, it signaled the birth of an entire industry.
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have expanded the
boundaries of lubrication science and redefined
the performance possibilities of modern machinery
and engines. |
 |
AMSOIL INC. was founded on Al Amatuzio’s
desire for technical innovation, his commitment
to high quality and his belief that consumers
would respond to a superior product. The
company has remained true to these ideals;
its history is a checklist of revolutionary
products that have withstood the tests of
time. As the pioneer corporation in the field
of synthetic lubrication, AMSOIL sees its Commitment
to Excellence as a historical responsibility,
and A.J. Amatuzio’s energy and vision continue
to drive the company forward. ...inspired

Al
Amatuzio's induction to the Lubricants
World Hall of Fame is the ultimate
tribute to the man who started it all.
He is firmly established among the giants
who have shaped the industry. Al Amatuzio's
desire for technical innovation, his commitment
to higher quality and his belief that consumers
respond to superior products remain the
core of the AMSOIL philosophy. |
