Mobil is a historic petroleum brand that originated as Vacuum Oil Company in the 19th century. In the UK, it began selling lubricating oils in the late 1800s and expanded into fuel retailing by the 1950s, establishing a network of service stations. Following a joint venture with BP in 1996, Mobil's fuel retailing operations in Europe were integrated into BP, allowing the brand to concentrate on premium lubricants.

Today, Mobil is primarily recognized for its high-quality lubricating oils, targeting both automotive and industrial customers. The brand is known for its Mobiloil line, which gained popularity in Europe by the 1930s. Mobil operates under the ExxonMobil corporate umbrella, leveraging its long-standing reputation and the iconic Pegasus logo to appeal to consumers seeking reliable engine oils and related products.
