Policy Regarding False Representation of AMSOIL INC.
on the Online Encyclopedia Wikipedia
May 21, 2008
The online encyclopedia known as Wikipedia has quickly become a popular source of information on a multitude of topics. However, because anyone with web access can write and edit Wikipedia articles, users can easily post inaccurate, distorted, biased and/or outdated information. It is for this reason that the website is widely criticized as an unreliable source of information for research. AMSOIL regularly sees false information spread about the company, its history and its products through Wikipedia. It is important for Dealers to recognize that Wikipedia information on AMSOIL is often inaccurate, especially when speaking with customers and potential customers. In the past, AMSOIL has corrected false information on Wikipedia only to see it quickly changed back to its inaccurate status. If so inclined, AMSOIL Dealers are free to register with Wikipedia and replace any false and misleading information with accurate information from AMSOIL publications or the AMSOIL corporate website.
The true history of AMSOIL INC. and its products is well-documented. Founder and CEO Al Amatuzio witnessed the extraordinary benefits of the synthetic lubricants that protected the engines of the jets he flew in his 25 years as an award-winning jet fighter pilot. Recognizing that these same benefits would prove invaluable in internal combustion engines, he began conducting serious research in 1963. By 1966 he had formulated a synthetic motor oil and put it to use in vehicles in northern Minnesota. Throughout the late 1960’s, Amatuzio continued his research and development and sold commercially available synthetic oils under a variety of names. In 1970 he incorporated his own name into a commercially sold product called AMMOIL. In 1971 this product name was changed to AMZOIL and it continued to be sold commercially. The true milestone came in 1972 when AMZOIL became the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum Institute criteria. The new lubricant performed like no other before it. When the first can of AMZOIL 10W-40 appeared on the market in 1972, it signaled the birth of an entire industry. Shortly thereafter, AMZOIL became AMSOIL and the company’s products went on to expand the boundaries of lubrication science and redefine the performance possibilities of modern machinery and engines.
