Description
Dr. John Ellis, an American physician, discovered the lubricating properties of crude oil while studying the potential healing powers of petroleum. The oil he developed in 1866 worked effectively in high temperatures and was especially suitable to lubricate the large steam engines of the day. Dr. Ellis’ cylinder oil freed steam engine valves to move more easily. Eight years later he would call his lubricating oil “Valvoline.” It was the first trademark in the young petroleum industry.
