Northern Oil delivering fuel

Northern Oil is proud to have provided communities in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire with affordable oil and fuel for over 135 years. Discover more about our history and the reliable services we provide in this extensive guide.


Oil suppliers with a long history

For more than 130 years we have been providing Leicester, Derbyshire and Nottingham with top quality oil and fuel products. One of the oldest oil suppliers and distributors in the region, Northern Oil supplies and delivers commercial, agricultural and domestic oil and fuel right across Nottingham and Leicester and Derbyshire.


1887: Founded by Ebenezer North

Northern Oil is one of the most respected and longest running fuel oil distributors in the Nottinghamshire region. The company was first established by Ebenezer North in 1887. Originally, the business sold paraffin for oil lamps and heating purposes.

1937: Purchased by the Birkin family

In 1937 the Birkin family purchased Northern Oil and the company has stayed with them ever since. We are just as passionate about providing quality service, reliable products and amazing value for money as our founder was over 130 years ago.

1960: A new alliance forms

In 1960, Northern Oil formed a new alliance with the Regent Oil Company, who later became the petroleum giant Texaco. This relationship has endured for over 50 years with Northern Oil still being the premier authorised Texaco oils distributor in the area.

Today

Today Northern Oil still specialises in providing quality commercial, agricultural and domestic oil and fuel supplies. We work closely with various business and community groups throughout Nottinghamshire, Leicester and Derbyshire.

Lubricants

RED FLAME is Northern Oil Company's own range of high performance, cost effective, quality lubricants. Working in partnership with experts in lubricant research and development, we have developed a high quality range of lubricants which meet with the modern demands of the industrial, agricultural, commercial, and automotive sectors.

 

Making sure your machinery stays in good condition means keeping it well lubricated. Without adequate lubrication, the moving parts of machinery and vehicles will gradually wear down, resulting in costly breakdowns, repairs and replacement costs. Northern Oil offers you a huge selection of top quality engine oils, hydraulic oils, transmission oils, and gear oil. We also stock machine and industrial lubricants, and Adblue.

 

To ensure that we always provide our customers with the very best quality products at the most competitive prices, Northern Oil undertakes continuous product development. This means we are always searching for the best deals on premier fuels, oils and lubricants and always pass the savings on to you.

Our expert staff can give you knowledgeable and customised advice on what fuel additives will work best for your situation. We can also deliver any of our products anywhere in Nottingham, Leicester and Derbyshire.

 

Northern Oil works in conjunction with the team at Exocet to provide customers with some of the very best fuel and oil additives on the market. Exocet products deliver excellent fuel effectiveness and efficiency, promote fuel quality, aid fuel economy and performance and reduce field problems. You can upgrade to ‘premium’ Exocet home heating oil for much less than the cost of other premium branded kerosene just by adding an Exocet heating product to your tank.

 

As part of the Exocet range, Northern Oil stocks Cold Flow, a product that prevents additive fuel from ‘waxing’ in winter. Our range also includes an Anti-Bug additive which helps prevent contamination associated with microbiological growth. Gas Oil Extra is designed to keep modern engines running smoothly and maintain warranties. Our team can request any other product you may need from the Exocet range upon request.
