About Berkebile Oil Company
For more than seven decades, Berkebile Oil Company has stood as a trusted name in professional-grade automotive chemicals. Founded in 1954 and based in Somerset, Pennsylvania, this privately held American manufacturer has built its reputation on a straightforward principle: use only the highest-quality raw materials and never cut corners. While many chemical manufacturers rely on recycled compounds or factory-reject materials, Berkebile has always formulated its products exclusively with virgin chemicals — a commitment that directly translates into more consistent, more effective results for the end user.
A Legacy of American-Made Quality
Berkebile's product lineup is broad enough to serve everyday drivers, professional mechanics, fleet operators, and even agricultural and industrial customers. Every product is manufactured and packaged in the USA, reflecting the brand's long-standing dedication to domestic craftsmanship and quality control. Over more than 60 years of continuous formula refinement, Berkebile has developed chemistry that performs under real-world conditions — not just in a laboratory setting.
What Berkebile Oil Makes
The Berkebile catalog spans several essential automotive and maintenance categories. Their additives line includes fuel injector cleaners, friction modifier additives, gas treatments, and fuel stabilizers designed to keep engines running cleanly and efficiently. The cleaners and degreasers range covers everything from brake cleaners and gum cutters to spray degreasers and electric contact cleaners — tools that professionals reach for when precision cleaning matters. Berkebile also produces a respected line of automotive fluids, including brake fluids and power steering fluids, as well as cooling system products such as radiator flush concentrates and antifreeze compounds.
Perhaps one of the brand's most recognized product families is their undercoating and rust protection lineup, anchored by the Protection First Class (PFC) system — a lanolin-based undercoating solution widely regarded as one of the most effective corrosion barriers available for passenger vehicles, trucks, heavy equipment, and even marine and agricultural applications. Their 2+2® product line further extends the brand's reach into windshield care, lubrication, and specialty maintenance chemicals that DIYers and professionals alike have trusted for generations.
