The AMSOIL Story: Born from Aviation Excellence
Founded in 1972 by Lt. Col. Albert J. Amatuzio, AMSOIL became the first synthetic motor oil in the United States to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) service requirements.
Lt. Col. Amatuzio, a jet fighter squadron commander, recognized the extraordinary performance advantages of synthetic lubricants used in jet engines. He saw an opportunity to bring that same advanced protection and performance to the automotive and powersports industries.
For over 50 years, AMSOIL has remained the leader in synthetic lubrication technology—constantly innovating, constantly improving, and constantly proving that synthetic is superior to conventional petroleum-based oils in every measurable way.
