Welcome to the future of oil.

Since 1929, Universal Lubricants has balanced tradition with innovation, growing to become a driving force in manufacturing and distribution. Our strict quality-control processes, thorough laboratory testing, and industry expertise provides our customers with high-performance products and services to support their equipment and company needs.
