The standards are based on strict American Petroleum Institute (API) recommended practices set forth to ensure oil and lubricants distributors meet all expectations for product quality control and that all lubricants operations are conducted in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner. “We are honored to be recognized for our efforts to improve safety and maintain product integrity,” said Mike Feece, of Feece Oil, “It helps us provide a better product & service to our customers.” Craig M. Olsby, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Feece Oil, stated, “ConocoPhillips is truly the best in the industry and for us to be named the best in our industry by them, is the highest compliment we can receive. We are very honored by ConocoPhillips’ award of Top Tier Marketer.
