Our Founders
Jerry
Steele, President
Following a successful career of engineering and constructing
hydraulic systems for multi-national corporations worldwide, in
1983 Jerry became an early pioneer of the automotive drive through
lubrication industry. He developed, built and operated successful
high-volume, quick-lube facilities in northern California.
Combining his knowledge of the quick-lube industry with his
hydraulic engineering background, in the late 1980’s Jerry founded
Lubrication Systems, Inc. LSI, Inc. was an engineering,
manufacturing, and installation firm specializing in high-quality
products and systems for the quick-lube industry. During this
period of time, Mr. Steele developed an extensive line of quality
fixtures and systems for the quick-lube industry including a
series of catwalk-style tank systems that gained the highest UL
rating available. After completing the design and construction of
more than 600 service facilities nationwide, Jerry turned his
knowledge and talents to the development of the emerging
EnviroLube Lubrication System. Elected as chief design consultant
for the EnviroLube product, he was instrumental in founding ILS,
Inc., and acquired the rights to distribute EnviroLube globally.
Today Jerry directs all activities in distribution, development
and sales of the EnviroLube system.

Jason
Steele, CFO
Bachelors of Business Administration and Marketing, Sacramento
State University. Jason has been involved with all aspects of the
automotive service industry for over 20-years. When the
drive-through oil change industry was in its infancy in the early
1980’s, Jason became one of the initial participants being
involved in both the operational as well as management portion of
the business. After having worked in the business for several
years Jason discovered that there could be better products and
processes developed to help move the industry forward. Therefore,
in 1988 he began designing and installing systems to help the oil
change industry grow, which quickly began to involve entire
automotive dealerships, and eventually heavy-duty service
facilities. Today Jason oversees the marketing, administration,
and financial aspects of ILS’s operations.
