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. |
