Bardahl is an international manufacturer of automotive additives, lubricants, and workshop chemicals. The company was founded in 1939 by Norwegian engineer Ole Bardahl in Seattle, Washington. Bardahl became well known for developing a unique polar attraction lubricant technology, designed to create a protective film that bonds to metal surfaces to reduce friction, heat, and wear in engines and mechanical systems. This innovation helped establish the brand as a trusted name in automotive performance and maintenance products.
Today, Bardahl products are manufactured and distributed globally through an extensive network of licensed producers and distributors. The brand’s portfolio includes fuel additives, engine oils, transmission fluids, cooling system treatments, and a wide range of workshop consumables used in automotive, industrial, and marine applications.
