About the AMSOIL Corporation

The Recognized Leader…

At the heart of every successful business venture you'll find two things: technical innovation and business foresight. Lieutenant Colonel A.J. Amatuzio demonstrated his keen understanding of these driving forces when he founded AMSOIL Inc., "The First in Synthetics."

As a jet fighter pilot Al Amatuzio witnessed the extraordinary benefits of synthetic oils used in jet engines. Seeing the need for these benefits in vehicles, he formulated the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) service requirements for automobile engines. Other companies claimed that synthetic lubricants bore no significant advantage over conventional petroleum oils. That was 1972. Nearly thirty years later, the benefits of synthetics are widely recognized, and those same companies have followed AMSOIL's lead by developing their own synthetic blends.

How Do I Install AMSOIL Synthetic Oils?

AMSOIL recommends flushing your engine before installing AMSOIL Synthetic Oils. However, you may prefer not to use a flush.

To install AMSOIL Synthetic Oil in a mechanically sound engine — with 60,000 miles or less and has been well maintained with regular and frequent changes of conventional petroleum oil — you simply drain your old oil and replace with the new AMSOIL Synthetic Oil and Oil Filter.

The more miles you have on a vehicle — 60,000 miles or more and the longer you have used conventional petroleum oil — initially you may need to change the new AMSOIL Synthetic Oil and Oil Filter before the recommended interval. This is because of the synthetic oil's high detergency properties which will naturally clean a dirty engine. If you have any questions, contact us via e-mail or give us a call.

Switching your vehicle over to synthetic lubricants if it is not mechanically sound is not recommended. AMSOIL Synthetic Oils will not correct any mechanical problems or defects.

Note: Never flush your Automatic Transmission, Motorcycle or ATV engine!
