Lubrication magazine has published nearly 1000 issues since 1911. The magazine has a history of providing in-depth knowledge and analysis of the lubricants industry, with each issue presenting a thorough look at a subject of interest. With a large portion of the Lubrication archive now available online, interested parties are able to research a particular subject from previous years to increase understanding of the changes in additive chemistry, manufacturing and equipment maintenance.

“By making past Lubrication issues available online, we have created a central area for lubrication research to thrive,” says Virginia Moser, training co-ordinator at Chevron. “Our site is a resource for maintenance and lubrication professionals to increase their knowledge regarding the development and application of lubricants.”
