A LITTLE HISTORY: ..... The company began in 1859 with a small marketing company that produced petroleum products to lubricate steam engines, machinery and wagons. ..... In 1913, Chicago entrepreneur and stockbroker Charles Pape brought together 19 small oil companies in Oil City, Penn., to create a new corporation, Quaker State Oil Refining Corporation. ..... By 1914 Automobile makers quickly discovered that engine efficiency increased with high operating temperatures, yet no oil on the market could handle the heat. ..... The Franklin Automobile Company was desperate for a quality motor oil for its cars. Quaker State sent the company samples of its new, high-quality oil and it proved so successful that from 1914 on, every Franklin leaving the factory was fitted with a custom five-quart can of Quaker State motor oil under the front seat. .....In 1936, the Standard Oil Company (now Exxon) became the exclusive Quaker State sales agency in the Midwest. Soon after, all Standard Oil stations across the nation exclusively offered Quaker State motor oil. ..... World War II caused the demand for Quaker State products to reach new heights. The military favored the Quaker State brand because the company had already begun to develop and use additives to make improved and special blends that provided superior performance. ..... After the war, automakers began to increase horsepower and the size of cars. Keeping pace with these developments, Quaker State products included a combination of anti-wear, anti-rust, anti-corrosive and high detergency properties. ..... During the mid-'50s, Quaker State began marketing its products through the burgeoning mass merchandise retailers. Supporting this broad new base of distribution, the advertising slogan "Quaker State your car" made the brand a household name. ..... In 1984, Quaker State became the first motor oil sold in convenient, economical plastic bottles. Quaker State expanded into the consumer service sector in 1985 when it bought Minit-Lube Inc., which later became Q-Lube, but closed after the 1998 Pennzoil-Quaker State merger. ..... In 1996, Quaker State expanded its consumer product offering by acquiring Slick 50®, the Houston-based maker of Slick 50® Automotive Engine Treatment and a full line of other specialty chemical treatments for the automotive and industrial markets. ..... On December 30, 1998, Quaker State Corporation was merged with Pennzoil Company's marketing, manufacturing and fast oil change businesses to form Pennzoil-Quaker State Company. .....On October 1, 2002, the acquisition of Pennzoil-Quaker State Company by Shell Oil Company, an affiliate of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies (now Royal Dutch Shell plc), was completed. In May 2003, Pennzoil-Quaker State Company began doing business as SOPUS Products.
