The story of AMSOIL began with a simple question: Why shouldn’t everyday engines benefit from the same protection used in jet aircraft?
As a jet fighter squadron commander, Lieutenant Colonel Albert J. Amatuzio saw firsthand how synthetic lubricants protected jet engines operating under extreme heat, cold, and stress. These oils were trusted because they reduced friction and wear, performed reliably in severe temperature conditions, and resisted breakdown during long, demanding engine operation.
In the early 1960s, recognizing how valuable these same benefits could be for cars, trucks, and equipment, Amatuzio began extensive research into synthetic motor oils for combustion engines. His dedication paid off in 1972 when AMSOIL became the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) service requirements—setting a new benchmark for performance and protection.
From the beginning, AMSOIL outperformed conventional petroleum oils, delivering superior wear protection, cleaner engines, and longer-lasting performance. That innovation helped redefine what drivers could expect from motor oil.
Today, nearly every major oil manufacturer offers synthetic products—following the trail AMSOIL blazed decades ago. But not all synthetics are created equal.
Accept no substitutes. AMSOIL is The First in Synthetics®—and still a leader in protecting what matters most: your engine.

On the dyno, engines are pushed to their absolute limits—and failure is not an option. That’s why Barry Robotnick trusts AMSOIL.
Barry relies on AMSOIL synthetic lubricants for their proven ability to reduce friction, control heat, and protect critical engine components under extreme dyno testing conditions. When every pull counts and engines are under maximum load, AMSOIL delivers the consistent protection and performance needed to get accurate results—and keep engines alive.
When the dyno is brutal, Barry trusts AMSOIL to protect what matters most.
Diesel engines work harder, run hotter, and are expected to last longer—and AMSOIL is built for that challenge.
AMSOIL synthetic diesel oils are engineered to deliver exceptional wear protection, superior soot control, and outstanding thermal stability under the extreme loads diesel engines face every day. From heavy towing and long idle times to high-mileage fleet use, AMSOIL helps keep critical engine components clean, protected, and running efficiently.
By resisting breakdown, reducing friction, and maintaining strong oil film strength, AMSOIL helps extend engine life, improve reliability, and reduce downtime—whether it’s a work truck, farm equipment, or a high-performance diesel.
When your diesel engine is how you make a living, trust the protection that works as hard as you do.
AMSOIL — Devoted to Diesel Protection.
Life doesn’t stick to one kind of ride—and neither should your oil.
From motorcycles carving back roads, to snowmobiles ripping through winter trails, to drag cars pushing horsepower to the limit, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are engineered to protect engines under every condition. And when the adventure is over, that same protection is there for the daily drive—taking the kids to school, heading to work, or cruising across town.
AMSOIL reduces friction, resists heat and breakdown, and keeps engines clean so every machine performs at its best—whether it’s built for competition, recreation, or everyday reliability.
One brand. Total protection. Every ride.
