One thing that most car owners would overlook is the rich history that most companies and their products have. And for Mobil 1, a known car oil brand that has been around for some time now, the best way is to be informed of the different steps and of course the technology that this popular oil brand carries.

Titled “Speed Dreams,” the 24-minute program will premiere March 16 at 10 p.m. EDT/PDT on The Documentary Channel. In addition to visiting revered locations such as the Corvette Hall of Fame and delving into the history of synthetic motor oils, the program highlights several successful drivers as they discuss the factors that have helped propel them to the top of their circuits.

The documentary also features Bill Maxwell, Distinguished Engineering Advisor, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering, a prominent member of the team that invented Mobil 1 more than 35 years ago. Maxwell discusses the origins of synthetic motor oil and traces its roots back to the U.S. military’s need for lubricants that would not freeze in the extreme temperatures experienced by its naval aircraft during World War II. Maxwell also discusses his lifelong love affair with Corvettes, and how it inspired him to become an engineer and eventually play a key role in the development of Mobil 1. One of Maxwell’s own dreams even comes true on-camera as he is given the honor of turning the ignition on a just-completed Corvette at the factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
