This color educational film is about how lubricants are derived from crude petroleum and how to improve the quality of lubricating oil. This is a 1949 film.
Opening credits: U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines - THE STORY OF LUBRICATING OIL, produced with the cooperation of the Standard Oil Company in Indiana (:07-:47). Moving parts are shown and our narrator explains how oil is important. Water and aircraft as well as automobiles need oil. Trucks, buses, and tractors are shown. Gears are shown moving and they need oil as a lubricant. Aerial shots of factories (:48-2:13). An animated character is shown and he is a lubricating oil molecule, he is called a hydrocarbon. Crude oil is taken from the depths of the earth. Separation of molecules is first for the crude oil. An explanation is presented as animation shows the processes (2:14-4:21). Lubricating oil molecules must be separated. This is shown and explained. Animation shows the different types of molecules. Asphalt is one of the types that must be removed. This process is explained as factory footage is shown (4:22-6:33). Lubricating oil stocks. Undesirable companions follow our good molecule. Wax must be removed and this process is explained and animation shows how (6:34-8:43). Sludge/varnish and the one that causes oil to thin or thicken at various temperatures must be dealt with now. How to remove these is explained and shown. Tests are then performed to make sure. Viscosity index is discussed (8:44-11:10). Color impurities must be removed next. This is explained and shown via animation (11:11-12:07). Different types of oils are shown. Each oil does a particular job in industry and transportation. Farm equipment needs good oil as do cars, trucks and busses (12:08-13:48). Scientists work with additives and oil. Gears are shown closeup with oil. Many additives are explained in detail (13:49-15:48). Many tests are performed on oil to make sure it is ready. Scientists work and look at oil performing control tests. Measuring combustion residue is the ultimate test (15:49-17:57). All lubricant oils must prove themselves. Months of research lead to speed up tests. A test is performed on an engine. Endurance tests are performed (17:58-19:25). The 36 hour high temperature test is performed and then parts are studied. Metal sliding on metal as lubricating oil assists. Our animated lubricating oil molecule, the hydrocarbon sings about how he is needed. He is joined by other hydrocarbons (19:26-21:19). End credits (21:20-21:55)

Personally I think these older educational films had more value than the stuff that is produced now days. It was kept simple but yet very informative. Thanks for preserving these classics that otherwise would have been lost years ago.
yeah I love these, but do you have an examples of "stuff produced now days" that you don't like?
@@alexczech8468 🔰🇺🇸 Yea, like 95% of the garbage produced these days.
Agreed. We have major generational gaps in our data and these videos Bridge sooooo much info that it helps me understand how and why we are here. We have what we take for granted because of what came before us and every generation seems to lose a couple paramount chapters.
Right!! Now days they are too worried about inclusiveness. It's disgraceful.
Exactly. Gets straight to the point and moves on.
This is more interesting than 99.99% of what's on tv.
This is really neat. My grandfather worked his entire life for Standard Oil. When this film was made he was 49 and had been with the company at least 29 years already.
Years ago I was dumpster diving and found about 40 bound books from Esso oilways magazines, I kept 4 of them and got rid of most of them on Craigslist I only have 2 left super informative magazines mine are all from the 40s during the war effort wish I had the others i read them regularly!
Every once in a while I'll notice the music, which is really adds to the whole effect
Amazing how much was already known and developed then, yet today's lubricants would probably have been a marvel to them.
Almost nothing changed from 1949 except of hungry for money and trying to kill auto industry.
These old films are great
As a young engineering student in 1988 i had a course in tribology, the study of lubrication. The excitement of viscosity changes with temperature, and the study of boundary lubrication additives was almost too much excitement for a young man!
From the Greek 'tribo', meaning 'I rub' or 'to rub' . . . loosely, the study of things which rub.
@@markreeter6227 p
I’m enthusiastic about lubrication.
We know the art of story telling is lost when we don't see anymore oil molecule 'heros'.
I could watch these videos all day. Thanks for uploading!
Glad you like them! Consider becoming a channel member ua-cam.com/video/ODBW3pVahUE/v-deo.html
The word 'additive' was doing a lot of work in the 3rd quarter of this, and I loved the narrator's pronunciation of 'temp-ra-choor' and especially 'vacu-um'. Good to have these films still around.
Yes it is, and thank you for asking. As a matter of fact young man, it is soo clean, you can lick the ground under the refinery!
Yes, now they worlds leader in oil production. This leads to oil, petrol, diesel, lubricants and plastics. You’re welcome!
I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost my account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Milo Hugo Instablaster :)
@Terrance Avery I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Gotta love the lyrics at the end .
Pretty sure the announcer is Ken Carpenter. He's best known as Bing Crosby's announcer. But folks my age probably remember him as the voice for Kraft dinner commercials.
It's him. He also narrated films like this.
These are so great. The music is just like the old cartoons. These help me sleep sometimes. They’re not boring, I quite enjoy them. The music is just soothing,
The animation is done by Manny Gould; the ending song is just like his animation for Bob Clampett and Bob McKimson for Warner Bros.
Interesting film of what is done to crude oil to make it usable in machinery... But the cartoons seem silly... Late 1940's classic footage... The. Scenes of the Lockheed Constelation and the Steam trains are extremely cool...
A very good education video created on long time before with good visualization... Salute to all creaters...
I live a few blocks from that refinery all the lab's in the show are now a college (cal college) and the refinery is now owned by BP oil.
A very informative and interesting motion picture.
Periscope is just simply awesome youtube channel.
Who knew that oil gets an oiliness additive.
Oiling the oil?
The Super Constellation (01:09) is far and away the most beautiful aircraft ever mass produced
Excellent and informative.
Thanks for sharing.
Compared to today, this is a topnotch high quality informative educational film. Whereelse can you obtain an almost educational level understanding of the components in crude oil, how and why it's refined into various useful products.
It's a tenner......10/10.
Beautiful ❤God's bless you ❤❤
Lubrication the difference between a good time and a bad time !
Exactly. When the grease fittings go unattended on a 60’s era automobile you can have major suspension problems. You can find yourself without transportation for weeks.
The funny thing is some of the refinery establishing shots in the film have probably been referenced in a USCSB video...because they didn't change out the pipes in the proceeding 60 years.
Thank you for saving old films like this one. I love that narrator voice typical for the time. Did people speak differently in the good old days? Or is it just the recording technique from the time?
cheesy, but somehow still feel like im learning something
Thanks for the film!
I haven't learned this much about lubrication since Dr. Ruth Westheimer was on the air.
Why would someone give thumbs down on this?
They probably more of the dry lubricant type of guys
The racism
@ceevee89fly i think that is because archiving studios need some method of generating money. they sell these for documentary makers and remove the bar.
The ending song is the best!
I learned a lot...thanks.
Very informative and interesting
Manju❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
outstanding!!!
These are great videos but they need to put the timer clock somewhere else or not at all !
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

This was produced by Jerry Fairbanks' studio.
It sounds like Jam Handy narrating.
@@jasonligo895 It's Ken Carpenter narrating the film. He also narrated the first in this series, "Gasoline's Amazing Molecules" aka "Inside Story of Modern Gasoline" as the carbon atom.
I wanted to see the shell sign and scary music in the open.
Very informative! Why do we no longer produce pictures like these?? The US was such a great country in the years after the War.
vietnam and counter culture happened. then the internet made shit culture acceptable and now we have a society of weird
It's pro-fossil fuels. Produced by one of those eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil corporations out to ruin the climate and destroy the ozone layer! NOT politically correct in the Age of Woke.
Very informative I've always marvelled at how they can produce such massive quantities to satisfy the huge demand. Fantastic substance.
This video really shows that oil isn’t just oil, it’s liquid science, especially modern synthetic oils. However the elimination of zddp did cause the oil to lose its ability to create a phosphate layer on high stress components such as cam lobes.
The same way Mr. Skakin taught us. R.I.P.
This was "slick"
“All except the most severe conditions”.... what would you use then?
Modern oil is a lot better today too
I heard removing the wax could be painful.
A hydrocarbon singing about it's use when it was alive and is the result of the great oxygenation event which left a huge band of iron spanning the globe, this hydrocarbon was at one point a algae bloom that decided to convert hydrogen sulphide and sunlight into energy and a by product of oxygen which started iron sulphides to rust out of solution in the sea kill themselves in the process, also the refining process split is called soluble and non soluble oil
anyone know what kind of carburetor that was @ 20:23????.... early type of fuel injection i think...
That guy had an oily voice. A slippery slope unless he got cracking to refine it.
I love cartoons
I will not argue with this.
interesting
I just lubricants could talk, I just did not know how well they sing!
Everything is better with lube on it! Yeh.
I love oil.
Lube. Sweet.

Why is the SMPTE code on these clips?
So licensees can specify the exact segment(s) for which they wish to pay royalties.
Never thought of that. Thanks
The aging of oil wasn’t addressed. If I don’t change the oil in my car for a year or more, because I haven’t driven it much, does the oil need to be changed?
Oil is made from dinosaurs. It's been a long time in the making and takes a long time to break down just sitting around.
@@jeremyperala839 lol, the dinosaurs reanimated themselves through rising from the depths of Earth, and now have evolved into the 1% ers. 😉
Yes as it’s contaminated by combustion and the additives will break down
Modern oils have additives for plastic engine parts to keep them from cracking. They don’t last more than a year in a working engine
Post War optimisms
What is that @ 00:52
Does anybody know the name of the narrator?
They had great pharmaceuticals then.
What lube was used in clock towers that were built hundreds of years before this lubricating oil was discovered? 🤔
Lard?
Eye of Newt?
Castor or fish/whale.
Whale oil. Isn't it ironic that petroleum saved the whales?
@@andyharman3022 according to Greenpeace and others, now pollution is killing whales and more. That's called a pretend save. ..not real. 🤷♀️
i didn't watch the video but can it explain why every time i fire my M1 Carbine i get smacked right in the face with a bunch of oily guck
Black gold indeed. You don't want to be around when it, & natural gas run out.
Chances are your car too needs lubricating oil for its proper functioning.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Oil needs to be refined on the whole to suit this purpose rather then to create more pollution as when it runs out what will we use for lubricant let alone energy? Replace it as a energy but use it for a lubricant.
Looks like a bad acid trip
"Ha ha, I am a colour impurity"
Poly Alpha olefin and base oil use formula
Turns out Natural Gas is about 80% Methane gas. i didn't know that until today.
KY JELLY...
I miss the 50's. Life was so much better back then. Nobody was woke nor did they care.
Racist rube.
Glad you enjoyed it. But it wasn’t so great for everyone.
Someone should show this to those kids protesting in the streets.
People just want things done more responsibly. Soon, all trains will have pantograghs.
slippery
Now look back then it,, oil was the godly sent miracle to man but now a scene of obscene maliciousness meant to deprive thee of thy will to emote or simply egress. But why may we ask has it come to this? When this miracle of gosh was all thy present already primarily.
Who knew?
One of the most important fluids in the world, that nobody cares about. The world literally and figuratively grind to a halt without it.
I'll be honest, when I read the film title, I was expecting something else.
So amazing yet so old and outdated.
Yet you still bought more today! Wow!
@@deankay4434 what are you talking about?
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Yes the film maybe old, but mostly works the same way at any refinery, just newer technology producing as much as 87 gallons of gasoline from 100 gallons of sweet crude oil. These chains of hydrocarbons are 8-9 molecules long, so under pressure, longer molecules are “fractured” to produce more product.
Stuff you did not learn in tax payer free school or college where you would have paid lots of money to have them lye to you or under educate by omission.
It is lube. Your bicycle, red wagon, car needs it. Or you walk!
@@deankay4434 Let me let you in in a small fact, I own 11,200 common shares of an oil company by the name of Exxon Mobile, you've got the wrong person, pal. How's that for stupid?
🔰🇺🇸 I simply love these old documentaries. The singing oil molecules are awesome 👏
- Say ‘Mr. Hydrocarbon’ to an ‘environmentalist’ or a ‘New Green Deal’ person and they’ll throw a hissy-fit; the thing is though, they use all these products every day !
Monkey poop Ceesco, people just want this dirty but essential work done responsibly. Don't post like a rube.
1949 and they had additives?? My Father took out the dip stick on his 10 year old 39 Chevrolet and said "look at that oil son, just as green as the day I put it in", There did not appear to be any detergents or dispersants in that period, Engines still acquired a coating of "shellac'" like stuff in the rocker box.
yeah, if I remember right the very first API standard was SA, which contains no additives whatsoever, before moving onto SB in 1930. very likely a bunch of SA was still around back then though
@@cpufreak101 Down under it would not surprise me at all, petrol we call 91, in the USA would be called something like 88? [if that is "regular"]
@@adoreslaurel 91 is 87 if I remember right, which is indeed regular in most of the country. I believe 98 is our 93 which is the highest you can typically easily find
@@cpufreak101 Thanks for that, I like the old story of the Englishman who pulled into get some "Gas" and the attendant said "Regular?" and the customer said "Yes, I am actually, but thanks for asking".
poor asphalt
The refineries, how disgusting. I can't believe we have let ourselves get to such a state, for money. We are doomed.
I'll spare you folks any & all jokes concerning "lubricant", since they have nothing to do with any mechanical. 😅
I'm an "UnDesirable" :[) LoL
I would bet money that's Ward Cleaver or rather Hugh Beaumont doing the talking.
You would. Lose that bet, he sounds nothing like beavers father.
It sounds like Jam Handy, from other documentary films at the time. He had his own film making business.
Basically a interesting subject - only, what was wrong with those film makers in the post war era? They put cartonn characters into everything, as if the expected audience are 7 year olds. And when you think it cannot get any worse - they start singing as well! :)
Humanity owes to John Rockfeller !!

It seems violent. I actually felt bad for the undesirable pollutants. Punching them, kicking them etc. I felt that was mean.
Just wait until we go on a field trip to the slaughterhouse with Periscope.
That was the best and worst cartoon ever.. 😁
We should demand this film mandatory for AOC and her ilk
Doesn't the film require a basic level of intelligence to understand, though?
Because knowing about outdated oil refining techniques will help her govern better right?
Why does the right hate ms Cortez so very much?
Are you all so stuck in the 1950’s that an intelligent woman with an opinion can upset you so much that you will comment about her in a 50 year old yt vid about oil?
@@nh-oj8ne If she was so intelligent, she would be right, and we wouldn't have to call her wrong.
@@nh-oj8ne Well, if she WAS an intelligent woman, then you might have a point. Right now, I'd put her on a par with a retarded wallaby

I will not watch videos with a counter in them
because you've never tried to convert film to digital
It's to stop people stealing the footage without paying Periscope for it's licensing.
Yes they may not be the creator or owner of the content, but it's existence online in a convenient medium (and removal from obscurity) is owed to their work and effort and it does not come free.
