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 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.

by aerospace technology
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. |
