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.
