History
[edit | edit source]Red Line Synthetic Oil Corporation was established in 1979 by Tim Kerrigan and Peter Filice in Novato, California. Over the years, the company expanded and relocated to Martinez, California, before settling in Benicia, California.
In 1986, Roy Howell, a chemist with a background from Cornell University and employed by Lubrizol, joined Red Line Synthetic Oil Corporation as its Chief Chemist.
In 2014, Phillips 66 acquired Spectrum Corporation, the parent company of Red Line Synthetic Oil.[3]
Products
[edit | edit source]Red Line initially focused on manufacturing oils specifically for the racing industry, but has since broadened its scope to include mainstream markets. Their product range includes a comprehensive selection of multigrade and monograde polyol ester base stock (Group V) engine and gear lubricants.[4][5][6]
