LABORATORY

Reliability built in over 130 years of lubricant development history for optimal performance even under harsh conditions. The most experienced customer service and a vast network of trusted suppliers ready to support you. Our commitment to your equipment is the driving force keeping the wheels of America moving and your operations Working in Fluid Motion. Join us and become a part of the VISCOSITY Oil Family, products formulated for ALL!

It started with olive oil, petroleum, and asbestos. That mix became Graigrene, the motor oil that helped the Ford Model T to traverse American roads in 1927. Then came Sparks Waterless Hand Cleaner in 1946 from an ingenious blend of neutralized fatty acids from cotton seeds and ammonia. Then, our formulations expanded further with the star product that keeps on giving: Hy-Tran ULTRACTION, which, since 1961, has continued to support our customers with expertly updated formulations to account for today’s technology and transmission systems.
