Yes
AMALIE Oil describes itself as "a family-owned manufacturer and global marketer of high quality automotive and industrial lubricants and greases," and its site lists the company at 1601 McCloskey Blvd, Tampa, Florida. Wikipedia calls AMALIE "North America's largest private, independent blender of motor oils and industrial lubricants," run by the Barkett family, who merged their Port Tampa Bay oil packer, Petroleum Packers, into AMALIE after buying the brand from Sun Oil Company in 1997.
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Motor oils (Elixir, PRO, Imperial Turbo, racing and airboat oils) | USA (Tampa, FL-based manufacturer; plant not named on the brand site) | Made in USA |
| Automatic transmission fluids | USA (Tampa, FL-based manufacturer; plant not named on the brand site) | Made in USA |
| Greases and industrial lubricants | USA (Tampa, FL-based manufacturer; plant not named on the brand site) | Made in USA |
One caveat: AMALIE's own site does not print a "Made in USA" line or name the plant that blends each product, so we can confirm a Tampa-based US manufacturer, not a stated origin for every oil, fluid or grease. The brand was founded in Franklin, Pennsylvania, in 1903 and has been headquartered in Tampa since 1998. AMALIE also says it sells in "over 100 foreign countries."
