Sinclair
products are refined to the industry's highest standards.
Sinclair operates three of the most up-to-date refineries in western
America, supplying customers the highest quality Sinclair gasolines,
diesel fuel, and jet fuel. The Sinclair Refinery near Rawlins,
Wyoming, is one of the West's longest-running industrial plants, yet
Sinclair has made it one of the most modern refineries in the
Rockies, producing 60,000 barrels of petroleum products per day.
Sinclair's Little
America Refinery in Casper, Wyoming, refines 20,000 barrels of
petroleum products per day.
Over 1,000 miles of pipeline are operated by Sinclair in the Rocky
Mountains, moving crude oil to Sinclair refineries and finished
product to our marketing terminals.
A history
driven with confidence.
Sinclair Oil Corporation has been
helping western America drive with confidence for over 80 years. Formed
from the assets of eleven small petroleum companies in 1916,
Sinclair is one of the oldest continuous names in the oil business. The
first corporate emblem, SINCO, was registered November 1, 1916.
Sinclair began development of the apatosaurus
(brontosaurus) in its advertising,
sales promotions, and product labels in 1930. The
apatosaurus was
registered as a Sinclair trademark in 1932. An exhibit at the 1933
Chicago Worlds Fair highlighted dinosaurs and established Sinclair
as the company that featured the apatosaurus. Again in 1964 at the
New York City Worlds Fair, Sinclair proudly displayed an exhibit
featuring nine life-sized dinosaurs highlighting its unique
association with the age of the dinosaur--an age representative of the beginning of the formation of crude oil.
The current Sinclair trademark is one
of the most recognized company emblems in the United States.
The
pentagon border and apatosaurus figure was registered in 1959.
Most oil companies have modified
their corporate emblem while undergoing reorganization or ownership
changes. Sinclair's trademark has remained unchanged. With the
current popularity of dinosaurs in general, the Sinclair trademark
and the sales promotion items using the
apatosaurus are more
popular than ever. |

Sinclair
Gasoline with SG-2000 Detergent Additive.
All Sinclair gasolines are
fortified with SG-2000, the latest clean-up and keep-clean gasoline
additive. SG-2000 prevents intake valve deposits, keeps fuel injectors and
carburetors clean, helps control exhaust emissions and protects
against corrosion.
Using the BMW test procedure, the Southwest Research
Institute in San Antonio, Texas has proven that
Sinclair gasolines meet the Unlimited Mileage
Criteria.
Sinclair Truck
Stops Feature Sinclair Premium Diesel.
Sinclair Premium Diesel is specially formulated to increase engine
performance while lowering maintenance costs. This high cetane fuel
has been shown to increase fuel economy in a four million mile fleet
test. The test also showed that Sinclair Premium Diesel protects
against corrosion and sludge formation as it increases power and
reduces smoke.
Sinclair Motor Oil
is Supreme.
Sinclair Supreme Motor Oil is refined to protect engines operating
at high temperatures and under heavy loads. Sinclair Supreme
provides extra protection against harmful engine deposits to help
control piston ring, bearing and valve train wear. Sinclair Supreme
Motor Oil assures excellent low temperature starting and maximum
protection against rust.
