The world's first motor oil was patented in 1873 by American doctor John Ellis. While studying the properties of crude oil for medical purposes, Ellis discovered that crude oil has good lubricating properties. Ellis poured the experimental fluid into the stuck cap of a steam engine, and as a result, the caps began to move more easily, and John Ellis registered the world's first motor oil brand - Valvoline.
