Sponsoring massive American events such as the Grand National Cross Country, the official oil in the AMA Supercross Championship and sponsor for the International Hot Rod Association, you can see why they're trusted time and time again by motoring enthusiasts accross the world. Amsoil was founded by Albert J. Amatuzio, a former jet fighter pilot who had conducted research on synthetic engine oils in the early 1960s.

The breakthrough came in 1972, when they developed the worlds first fully synthetic motor oil to meet API service requirements - you can now see why they are so popular in the world of race, rally and track driving, as they were designed from the ground up to offer outstanding levels of protection, even under the harshest conditions. Opies have an array of quality Amsoil products on the shelf and ready to go, and don't forget that you can get 10% off everything with your forum discount code! To make you aware, we are due to receive another shipment shortly that will have even more brand new products. As soon as this is with us, we will give you guys an update.

Every single Amsoil product is designed to offer peak performance and the highest levels of protection, allowing you to put your vehicle through its paces, while having peace of mind that your engine has a product in it that is up to the task.
