This month, we are celebrating the founding of McPherson Oil and the vision of Charles “Mac” McPherson, Sr. In 1971, Mac returned to his home state of Alabama after eight years with Shell Oil in Houston, Texas, where he gained valuable experience as a lubrication engineer. With a deep understanding of the industry, he saw the potential in petroleum distribution and purchased a rural fuel jobber in Oneonta, Alabama. His dedication and expertise laid the foundation for what McPherson Oil is today—a trusted partner in the fuel and lubricant industry. As we reflect on our history, we remain committed to the values that started it all: openness, honesty, and integrity. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/egaJitrG

Mining pros know every minute counts. When a mine shuts down, it costs millions of dollars per day in lost production. That’s why choosing the right lubricants is crucial to keeping equipment running smoothly, from engines and transmissions to hydraulics.     “As a lubrication engineer working directly with mining maintenance teams, I’ve seen firsthand how critical our lubricants are to reducing downtime and improving productivity,” says Abe Mitchell Lubrication Engineer.     The right lubricants play a vital role in maintaining the performance of the equipment that powers mining operations, whether that’s by reducing the frequency of maintenance or preventing unexpected equipment failures. In an industry where time is money, investing in high-quality lubricants is a game-changer – and it’s key to helping mines stay efficient and profitable.

On any construction site, machines do a lot of heavy lifting. Dozers, excavators, haul trucks, and paving equipment power productivity, but their performance depends on one key factor: the right lubrication strategy. Construction sites expose equipment to extreme temperatures, heavy loads, and constant dust and dirt. A poorly lubricated machine wears out faster, leading to costly downtime and repairs.   “Every construction fleet wants the same thing—maximized uptime and longer machine life,” says Rob Meldrum, Senior Lubrication Engineer at ExxonMobil. “But some companies need machines to last decades, while others operate on trade cycles and just need reliability for a set period. The lubrication plan has to fit the business model.” Most fleets own a lot of machines that come from multiple OEMs that each recommend different lubricants. This often leads to dozens of oils and greases on site, which raises costs and increases the risk of misapplication. A streamlined approach using the fewest correct lubricants simplifies inventory, reduces training complexity, and keeps preventive maintenance on track. “Choosing the right lubricants isn’t just about protecting engines and hydraulics,” Rob says. “It’s about protecting a project’s timeline and bottom line.” How does your operation manage lubricant complexity?
