Pennsylvania Motor Oils

In 1867 Dr. John Ellis developed cylinder oils in Pennsylvania and in 1873 was awarded a trademark for Valvoline.
He marketed it as superior in quality to lard and fat in lubrication and was used by many railroads. Valvoline became the standard of excellence due to its exacting quality and unwillingness to sell out to Standard Oil.
In 1931 Valvoline purchased Galena Oil of Franklin and introduced an all-season all-purpose gear lubricant.
Valvoline merged with Ashland Oil and Refining Company of Kentucky in 1950.
Starting in the mid-1900s, the company focused on auto racing, sponsoring an array of Indy 500 winning drivers.
Valvoline is now owned by Marathon
