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,AlAmatuzio 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

미공군에서 근무하면서 전투기의 제트엔진을

보호하는 특수 윤활유에 대한 기술을 확보하고

이런 특수 윤활유만이 제트엔진을

여러 가혹한 조건으로부터

보호할수 있다고 확신하였습니다.

또한 자동차트럭 등 다른 내연기관의

성능향상에도 뛰어난 효과를 나타내는것을 확신
