In another calculated move designed to provide more convenience for customers, AMSOIL now offers wiper blades from TRICO. As of April 1, AMSOIL is no longer carrying BOSCH products. TRICO wiper blades provide additional products, increased performance and easy installation.
Company History
The Tri-Continental Corporation was founded in 1917 to provide drivers with better visibility, introducing the first manually operated windshield wiper. Today, TRICO is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wiper products and produces nearly one million wiper blades every week. TRICO provides entire wiper systems for numerous original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Ford, GM, Chrysler and Hyundai. In fact, TRICO wiper products are utilized on nearly 7 out of 10 new vehicles built in North America. TRICO uses natural and synthetic rubber, along with other agents such as Teflon, to make its wiper blades. AMSOIL now offers five different lines of TRICO wiper blades: Exact Fit, NeoForm, Oktane, Winter and Classic.
TRICO Exact Fit
TRICO Exact Fit wiper blades are pre-assembled to precisely match the vehicle’s arm type. They easily install in only seconds. Exact Fit blades’ all-metal construction provides superior strength and durability. These high-quality blades offer better-than-OEM performance and longevity and cover nearly 99 percent of all auto/light truck applications.
TRICO NeoForm
NeoForm wiper blades are TRICO’s highest-performing blades. Their single beam construction offers an infinite number of blade pressure points that deliver a constant, even pressure across the entire length of the wiper for a smoother, more consistent wipe. NeoForm blades’ attractive European aerofoil design helps keep the blade on the windshield, even in high wind or vehicle speeds. They fit most popular vehicles and come with a blade cleaner cloth packet.
TRICO Oktane
Oktane street performance wiper blades feature an all-metal blade frame with a built-in aerodynamic spoiler. Their pre-attached universal adapter fits sport compact and other vehicles in the auto/light truck and tuner markets. Oktane blades’ low profile reduces wind lift at higher speeds (up to115 mph). They provide quiet operation with less chatter,and their sleek look complements the aesthetics of today’smodern vehicles. Oktane blades are available in six colors, including carbonfiber, chrome,white, red, blue and yellow.
Trico Winter
In 1953, TRICO became the first manufacturer to develop winter wiper blades and set the standard for snow country performance. TRICO Winter blades feature a protective rubber boot to help prevent snow and ice from clogging the blade. This allows it to maintain even pressure to provide a clean wipe and enhance driving visibility. Winter blades have a riveted design for extra durability. Their extra-thick, rugged OEM metal superstructure provides superior strength, and the pre-attached universal adapter fits 95 percent of vehicles directly.
TRICO Classic
Classic blades are for vintage cars that are at least 20 years old. They feature a silver finish to resemble OEM blades on many classic American cars manufactured during the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. The precision cut rubber wiping element provides a clean wipe every time. AMSOIL offers five models from the Classic blade line.
