Greg Hewgill has joined Lucas Oil Products, Inc. as Technical Director, Lucas Oil COO Tom Fredrickson announced.

"Greg has a wealth of experience in the science of oil products technology," said Fredrickson. "We look forward to him playing a key part in the development of Lucas Oil products as we continue to expand into new markets around the globe."
 
Hewgill began his oil industry career soon after leaving Cal State Fullerton, where he studied science. His first full-time position in the oil industry was with Union Oil (later Unocal) Research Center in Brea, California, as part of a team developing, testing and implementing new technologies in the area of well stimulation.

In 1997, Hewgill went to work at Wynn Oil as an industrial chemist, working primarily in metal working fluids before transferring to automotive aftermarket research with the title Senior Chemist and Lab Manager. During his time at Wynn, Hewgill helped develop new products in all areas of automotive fluids, including engine oil, ATF, power steering fluids, gear oils and coolants.

Hewgill will be based at Lucas Oil's worldwide headquarters in Corona, California.
