so.....a little more history! Herbert P Bagley followed the rise of the automobile with special interest. when racing became a national sport - and a priceless proving ground for new ideas in car design and operation - he decided to develop special racing oils. In 1906 he had his first success. Race driver Fred Marriott pushed an Oilzum-lubricated Stanley Steamer to the unheard-of-speed of 127 miles an hour at Ormond Beach, Fl - a new world's record. But, Herbert Bagley still had work to do. Bearing failures and engine seizures caused by improper lubrication were still too common in the races of the period. A new kind of oil had to be developed....and, it was!
The first order of "Crystal Oilzum" was shipped in 1912. A special racing blend, it gained immediate favor with Barney Oldfield, Jimmy Murphy, Tommy Milton, Eddie Rickenbacker and other great drivers of the time. In the Indianapolis 500-Race, Crystal Oilzum has been used in more winning cars than any other oil.
More history later....post 'em if you got 'em.
