I work at the old White & Bagley Company, now owned by BP/British Petroleoum called Castrol heavy duty lubes. And yes Oilzum Motor Oil is still sold there. It is nice to see there are still people interested in that oil and it label.

I worked at Landrine Auto Electricc in Englewood NJ. Larry Landrine, the owner, was an OILZUM distributor. We use to get 55 gallon drums of OILZUM with only 50 gallons in the barrel so we could mix in 5 gallons of AVIEX addative. My job was to roll the barrels through the shop many times to mix the oils. His wife Ruth use to deliver the product to various trucking companies in northern NJ. This was back in the 1950s. We also use to sell and install CLEAREX, "AIR INJECTION in EXHAUST" long before any polution requirements. I hope this small trivia might amuse someone.

I had my oil changed today, ...the owner of shop said he uses one of the best oils around "oilzum", i have never heard of this oil. What can you tell me about it?? ..Is it a good oil?? Can you send me any websites about it, or the company that makes it, or even better, its benefit for automobiles??? kuffsz@aol.com thanks

I have 2 large (approx. 2"x3") stamps or stickers that are advertising items for Oilzum and race car driver Dario Resta, who died in 1924 in England at the Brooklands racecourse. The graphics are just beautiful. Can anyone out there direct me to a site where I can learn more about my stamps?

I forgot to give my email address. Contact me at wades@usadig.com. Thank you. Laura

Can somebody please help me find the value of some oilzum signs my family recently found above my grandmother's barn?! The signs are definite originals, from the 1950's as imprinted on some of the signs. We have some of the inverted triangle sidewalk signs, some with blue and white motorcyles with the Oilzum logo, etc... Where or whom could I contact to ascertain value for these? Thanks so much!!

I also fogot my email for the above question. It's kelleesaugertiesdan@yahoo.com

for Kellee: your grandmothers barn if in Worcester, Ma is the barn once owned by HP bagley I used to laugh when seeing livestock under the sign when I went there IF youd like t talk more of this call me 413.464.2494 or email me mazzpatriot@yahoo.com and Mike Your a trip man. what ever happened to lou, I heard Doug passed on to higher ground and it is good to know OILZUM is being prodused again at Dennison Lubricants Remrmber Art James or John Moulton in the office ED or his brother Roger these were all decent people to work with. In all honesty it was a pretty decent place to work. If motors could speak tey would never had to advertise

I worked at both the Worc. Center Blvd and Milbury St. plants.... Knew H.P.B.II as well as Ed Ahearn, Dick Foisey, John Cordener, Henry Johnson... pretty mucht the whole crew 1984 up to the dramatic sell-out in '86. when the Dryden-devils came in I bailed out.

What I remember most vividly was the strange Oilzum logo--the guy with the bright orange hat and raccoon-type slanted eyes staring down from the concrete bridge over Green Street. Hundreds of times I passed under the bridge as we turned from Franklin street onto Green sreet. There was an old City Truck terminal near that location.

Paul- those "raccoon-type slanted eyes" where of course his driving goggles.

Hello Limpy!!

Kathleen, If you haven't heard Oilzum is a leader in oil technology. I had an engineer tell me Oilzum is the first to receive the API's newest rating. My Jeep Cherokee ran nothing but Oilzum and Wix filters. Traded it with 250K miles and burned no more oil than it did the day I drove it home. I cannot say enough good things about Oilzum. My advice is to keep getting your oil changed at that shop. The owner and mechanics know their stuff. Good luck!

I remember White & Bagley. I was a Fleet mechanic at Worcester Baking ( Town Talk Bread) in the late 60's & early 70's and we use to get our Bulk oil from there Near washington Square. breeze33776@yahoo.com

For Laura (stamps) & Kellee (signs), try Skinners in Bolton MA at 987-729-2220 or 978-779-6241 affiliated with Antiques Roadshow at PBS.org for pricing. For Mark & Kellee, is barn at Tatnuck sq. area? I ask because Tripp Bagley, son of the owner of White Bagley lived with parents there. He was a friend of a good friend of mine.. Mike Catino. Both of them worked there till the end . Catino's father, Joe I believe his name was, worked for the company most of his life. Mark or anyone else recall these people? I was at all the locations mentioned frequently.

I was a former VW dealer in Fitchburg who used exclusively Oilzum. We worked closely with White and Bagley who helped us with long term loans of lubrication equipment and was a wonderful company to do business with offering the very best in service and lubrication products. Still have a gallon can of Oilzum SAE 90 gear oil that is going into my 1955 Bug ths morning.

When I was a serious drag racer and lived in North Jersey, the preferred oil of choice with tuners like Pappy Hough and the guys of Gasoline Alley was Oilzum. IIRC they had a special racing formulation and with those of us that had what they's call "built" engines today... you could catch a distinct odor around the car similar to that of Castrol's racing oil. Its interesting to see its still being produced... just wonder what weights/formulations are available and where.

To add to "Mike/ Longmeadow" comment above,back in the 1960's I used Oilzum's "Crystal" Race Oil which created a distinct odor as it heated and burned.

I worked for White & Bagley Co. which sold Oilzum motor oil and other products. It was my first full time job in an office and Janet Bagley was the one who hired me. I was there until Dryden Oil came and bought the company. Worked at Worc Ctr Blvd with Sylvia, Carole, Pauline, John Moulton, Henry Johnson, John Cordiner and others. It was a wonderful company to work for thanks for experience and the memories.

Debbie .I to worked at the old factory .John Cordiner hired me .John Moulton helped when dryden took over and things went downhill.Ernie foster was also a fine man ,had it not been for trippis death,I would still be there.that place had a lot character

Just tried to upload a icture of the famed "Wall of Shame".... the elevator door down in the swamp where I, and Jerry added names to the long list of past W&B employees that had, for whatever reason, left the company. I'm on it and Henry as well.... I guess Tommy either was holding out under the Dryden regiem or Jerry was let go before the list was complete.
