Thank you! Some history of this company follows: MOCA was founded by Robert Fritz in 1937 as a regional distributor of the Macmillan Ring-Free Oil Company. Macmillan Ring-Free began in 1923 and built its reputation with an “ahead of its time” formulation unusually high in natural detergency and extreme pressure properties. Introduced at a time when most oil companies and auto designers felt that any mineral oil would lubricate just fine, Macmillan Ring-Free proved the advantages of performance products. Not only would Ring-Free protect against deposit formulation, sludge, and other contaminants. It would also free up sticky rings, valves, and pistons, which is how the name developed. From the start Macmillan chose the most public proof of performance for its exceptional products auto and air racing. In 1936 Macmillan produced the first three time winner of the Indianapolis 500; Lou Meyer, driving “O’l Number Eight” the “Ring Free Special.” During the same period, Colonel Roscoe Turner; internationally renowned air racer, used Ring Free lubricants in his winning aircraft. Protection against severe service wear was also exceptional. The combination of these revolutionary performance benefits established Ring Free as an in-demand lubricant among consumers and OEM’s. We were also a prime supplier to the United States and allied military forces during World War II, and in the Gulf war. Macmillan Ring Free Lubricants were specified by the US Department of Defense to counter the rigorous climatic and Environmental conditions encountered by the high tech tanks and military armaments deployed in Desert Storm battles. Macmillan Oil Co. maintained an active racing program into the 1980’s.
