How do you pronounce AMSOIL?

Wonder if anyone who saw it for the first time and thought it was a brand of potting soil. Am-soil
I always pronounce it "Ahm-so-ill".

Since the early fame was made on the Amzoil name, the correct pronunciation has the "zoil" sound.

Dunno about the Amoco part, but Al actually won the suit with Pennzoil as well, but he had already changed the name (oops duh!)
