O'Donnell Named President of North American Lubricants

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif.--March 22, 2005--Chuck O'Donnell has been named the new president of North American Lubricants (NAL) Company.

O'Donnell replaces Garry Rooney, who resigned in February to pursue other interests.

O'Donnell, 62, joins NAL after a distinguished career in the oil supply and oil change industries. O'Donnell has worked with Rowley Wholesale, Pennzoil-Quaker State, Gulf Coast Financial Services / All American Super Lube, Jiffy Lube Association of Franchisees, Major Brands Oil Co., and Kelly Distributing Co.

Among his other duties, O'Donnell will take charge of expanding the national sales force. NAL is a manufacturer and supplier of bulk automotive lubricants to the quick lube industry.

O'Donnell will operate from the company's headquarters in San Juan Capistrano, Calif.

O'Donnell holds a master's degree in financial analysis from Notre Dame University and a bachelor's degree in petroleum marketing from Western Michigan University.

NAL was founded in 1999 by a group of installers in answer to the rapidly rising costs of lubricants and the shrinking profit margins in quick lubes. NAL has a nationwide distribution system, and passes the lowest prices for fully qualified products along to purchasers. The company currently operates in 44 states and has 132 distributors.
