Amsoil History
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 their extraordinary ability to reduce friction and wear on engine components, function dependably at severe temperature extremes and withstand rigorous and lengthy engine operation without chemical breakdown.
The true milestone came in 1972
Recognizing these same benefits would prove invaluable in combustion engines, Amatuzio began conducting serious research in the early 1960s. He soon developed and sold commercially available synthetic oils under a variety of names. The true milestone came in 1972 when AMSOIL became the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum Institute service requirements. It set all-new standards for motor oil quality and outperformed conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts. It was clear from the start this innovative product would play a major role in redefining the performance capabilities of modern machinery and engines. Today, virtually every other motor oil manufacturer has recognized the superiority of synthetic lubricants and has followed the AMSOIL lead with introductions of synthetic motor oils of their own. Accept no substitutes – AMSOIL is The First in Synthetics®.
AMSOIL: The Pioneer in Synthetic Oil
Nevertheless, all companies must acknowledge that AMSOIL is the first in synthetics®—the innovator who pioneered synthetic oil technology over 50 years ago. This has allowed AMSOIL to grow into a leading developer of synthetic lubricant formulas for all types of gears and engines. The company is also a specialist in motor oils for high-performance vehicles and heavy-duty engines.
In addition, AMSOIL has developed outstanding fuel additives, air and oil filtration systems, and various other complementary products that enhance lubrication performance. Today’s modern engines from many manufacturers are specifically designed to work with synthetic lubricants, as synthetic oil helps boost engine power and efficiency while offering superior protection for longer engine life.
