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
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.
