Polsinello Fuels, Inc. was founded in 1952 by Lou Polsinello Sr. and Sue Polsinello in Rensselaer, NY. Originally, the company delivered heating oil and performed oil burner services. Over time Polsinello Fuels, Inc. grew into a regional supplier of heating oil, propane, gasoline, diesel, motor oils and lubricants. In addition, the Polsinello Family expanded the business to include convenience stores and truck stops beginning in the 1980s under the leadership of Lou and Sue’s son Louis Polsinello Jr. who was President from 1981 until 2019.

Between 2018 and 2020 Polsinello Fuels transitioned into Polsinello Lubricants with the successful divestment from fuel delivery and its other business segments. Today, Polsinello Lubricants is singularly focused on servicing its motor oil, lubricant and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) customers under the leadership of the 3rd generation of the Polsinello Family.

Polsinello Lubricants operates 4 distribution facilities and its own fleet of bulk and package delivery trucks. Polsinello delivers only the highest quality brand name products with reliable service built on 70+ years and 3 generations of dedication to putting the customer first.

Today, Polsinello Lubricants is the premier motor oil and lubricant provider in the Northeast. Polsinello’s unique offering of multiple brands from several facilities, all while being family owned and operated makes it stand out amongst the competition. Our customers are confident knowing they have a company big enough to meet all their needs but local enough to sincerely care about each customer.
