Lucas Oil

Lucas Oil was founded by trucker Forrest Lucas and his wife Charlotte in 1989. The company is a medium size manufacturer of lubricants, including engine oils, greases, gear lubes, as well as problem-solving additives and car-care products. It produces and markets approximately 270 formulations in 40 countries. In the U.S., Lucas Oil is sold in more than 30,000 auto parts stores, displaying the most variety of shelf products of any oil company, and at truck stops nationwide. Lucas Oil has its plants in the United States. The original plant in Corona, California, which also housed Lucas Oil Corporate Headquarters and several affiliated companies, was closed in late 2022, moving the corporate HQ to Indianapolis, Indiana, before moving headquarters to The Fashion Mall at Keystone in 2024.

In 2003, it opened a new production plant in Corydon, Indiana, and expanded with an additional, multimillion-dollar, 350,000-square-foot facility in 2014. In June 2024, Lucas Oil opened a 25,000-square-foot grease manufacturing expansion at the facility.

In February 2024, Morgan Lucas was named CEO and Katie Lucas was named President of the company.
