COMPANY PROFILE
During
Lieutenant Colonel Al Amatuzio's 25 years as an award-winning
jet fighter pilot, he gained a solid appreciation for
the extraordinary lubricants that protected the engines
of the jets he flew. He knew that only these lubricants,
synthetic lubricants, could stand up to the demanding
operating conditions of jet engines and the severe temperature
extremes they encounter.
He knew also that the same outstanding performance benefits
synthetic lubricants provide for jet engines would prove
invaluable to car, truck and other internal combustion
engines.
In the mid-1960s, Al Amatuzio began an intense period
of research and development. He assembled the industry's
most knowledgeable chemists and directed the formulation
of the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet
American Petroleum Institute service requirements.
The
introduction of AMSOIL
synthetic motor oil in 1972 set all-new standards for
motor oil quality. AMSOIL
synthetic motor oil outperformed conventional petroleum
motor oils on all counts. It was clear from the start
that this innovative product would play a major role in
engine performance and engine life.
Today, virtually every other motor oil manufacturer has
recognized the superiority of synthetic lubricants and
has followed the AMSOIL
lead with introductions of synthetic motor oils of their
own. They spend millions of dollars advertising their
"new" and "revolutionary" products.
No one, however, can match AMSOIL
experience and technological know-how. And no one delivers
products like AMSOIL.
Accept no substitutes -- AMSOIL
is "The First in Synthetics."

Physicians, attorneys, and Superior’s first television station have also called the building home over the years. It became the AMSOIL building in 1978 and has been completely renovated.
The AMSOIL research lab has been redesigned to incorporate moreof the latest cutting edge technology and research equipment. Theoverall size of the facility was doubled, allowing more capacity for testing, formulating and research.
