WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Petroleum Institute (API) announced that Northeast Lubricants, a three-location motor oil distributor headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, has been licensed under API’s Motor Oil Matters (MOM) program. API awarded the licenses after Northeast demonstrated compliance with API’s motor oil chain-of-custody standard.

“MOM’s mission is to make sure consumers are receiving only the best quality motor oil in their cars and trucks. In the end, much of this depends on the middle man – distributors like Northeast,” said Kevin Ferrick, API’s Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System manager. “The MOM certification confirms that Northeast is properly storing, labeling and distributing quality oils.”

Northeast provides motor oil to a range of installers from lube centers and car dealers to heavy-duty lubricants customers. The company’s distributor locations can be found in Cleveland and Magnolia, Ohio, and Charlotte, N.C.
