Oilzum History

F.W. White and H.P. Bagley established White & Bagley Company in 1888 located in Worcester Massachusetts. They wanted to develop a practical motor oil of uniform quality with a long service life and good protective properties. In 1905 they developed Oilzum, one of the first brand name motor oils.

White & Bagley Company held on to the Oilzum brand until it was bought by the Drydene Oil Company in 1986. Drydene Oil Co. mainly focused on Heavy Duty lubricants, which at the time was not in the same industry as the Oilzum target audience. Shortly after that, the Drydene Oil Company was bought by Castrol.

In 2010, Dennison Lubricants purchased the Oilzum brand and its Worcester warehouse, restoring it to a full line of products. Today, Oilzum has turned into a thriving brand. It can be found in the Heavy Duty, PCMO, Industrial, and Metalworking industries as a trusted and reliable lubricant.
