- Since 1869, 'Morris Lubricants' of Shrewsbury, England (UK) have developed a global reputation for delivering the highest quality oils, lubricants, greases for use in cars, motorcycles, trucks, off-highway vehicles and many more.
- 2022– 1mTV Episode'Morris Lubricants' were delighted to welcome TV presenter, 'Isle of Man TT' racer and brand ambassador Guy Martin to their production facilities to see how oil is made. In this short preview, Guy Martin follows the oil on its journey from raw material storage, to the quality control laboratory, production facilities, filling lines, final product storage and shipping to customers. Guy also gets to see the work and processes that are undertaken at the 'Morris Lubricants' blending plant to ensure high-quality oils, lubricants and greases are produced.
- 2022– 4mTV EpisodeIn this 1st episode, Guy Martin is shown the specialist storage facilities for the raw materials and various additives at 'Morris Lubricants' production facility. Guy Martin also explores the importance these raw materials and additives play in the production of high-quality oils and lubricants.
- 2022– 4mTV EpisodeIn this episode, Guy Martin visits the 'Morris Lubricants' quality control laboratory where he learns all about the in-depth testing procedures that take place on the base oils and additives that are used in the production of the high-quality oils and lubricants that 'Morris Lubricants' supplies.
- In this episode, Guy Martin is shown the bulk blending tanks at 'Morris Lubricants' and the process of making oil is explained. Guy Martin also sees how the base oils and the various additives are mixed and blended together to make 'Morris Lubricants' high-quality oils and lubricants.
- 2022– 4mTV EpisodeIn this episode, Guy Martin heads to one of the filling stations at the production facility of 'Morris Lubricants' to see how oil is filled into 205 litre barrels. Guy Martin also examines the various other pack sizes that are available at 'Morris Lubricants', from 250ml bottles to the bulk tankers containing thousands of litres. The process of filling the various sizes of packaging is explained and the attention to detail that is required and maintained to ensure quality at 'Morris Lubricants'.
- 2022– 5mTV EpisodeIn the 5th episode of this series, Guy Martin reaches the dedicated storage and shipping facility to see the vast variety of oils, lubricants and greases that 'Morris Lubricants' supplies to customers in the UK and over 90 countries around the world.
- 2022– 3mTV EpisodeIn this first of a three-part special extra series based in the 'Quality Control Laboratory' at 'Morris Lubricants', Guy Martin and Adrian Hill take a closer look at the 'Mini-Rotary Viscometer' (MRV) to understand why it is such an essential and integral piece of laboratory equipment. The viscometer measures the pumpability of an engine oil at low temperatures. This is an important performance requirement as it ensures effective circulation from cold, helping to reduce wear and ensures that the lubricant is helping to contribute to the overall reduction in engine emissions, including CO2.
- 2022– 3mTV EpisodeIn this second of a three-part special extra series based in the 'Quality Control Laboratory' at 'Morris Lubricants', Guy Martin and Adrian Hill take a closer look at the 'High-Temperature High-Shear (HTHS) Viscometer' to understand why it is such an essential and integral piece of equipment in the testing of engine oils. This test measures oil film thickness by simulating it's performance where tight mechanical tolerances exist, such as between journal and bearing faces. Oil film thickness is important as its value indicates the lubricants' ability to contribute to fuel efficiency. Improved fuel efficiency helps to reduce overall engine emissions, including CO2.
- 2022– 2mTV EpisodeIn this third of a three-part special extra series based in the 'Quality Control Laboratory' at 'Morris Lubricants', Guy Martin and Adrian Hill take a closer look at the 'Inductively Coupled Plasma' (ICP) Spectrophotometer, which makes sure that oils and lubricants are blended correctly and that these products are suitable for their intended use. This equipment accurately measures the levels of chemical elements and, depending on the formulation, these values must lie within the specified QC limits. This ensures that the right level of chemistry has been added to enable the lubricant to do its job.
- 2015– 5mTV EpisodeIn Episode 6 of "How to Build a Steam Engine", Today is a special day for Alex and his team. Not only has he fulfilled his lifelong dream of re-creating 'Talisman', he's managed to achieve it in time to celebrate one-hundred-and-fifty years of 'Morris Lubricants' at the Shrewsbury Steam Rally. As 'Talisman' arrives through the gates at the Rally, it will be a day, an achievement, and a sight that many would never have dreamed possible.
- 2015– 1mTV EpisodeEngineer Alex Sharphouse built a 'Fowler B6' steam engine called 'Talisman' from scratch, which took him six years to build. With a little help from TV presenter, TT racer and engineering enthusiast Guy Martin and oils, lubricants and greases manufacturer 'Morris Lubricants', Alex is now taking on the challenge of a lifetime. 'Talisman' will be travelling on a 50-mile journey, whilst pulling 50 tonnes through the Cumbrian countryside. Can Alex and the team do it? Find out in the second series of 'How to Build a Steam Engine'.
- 2015– 3mTV EpisodeIn this 1st episode of a new season about 'Talisman's First Major Pull, engineers Alex Sharphouse and Guy Martin catch-up at the 'Morris Lubricants' headquarters to discuss 'Talisman's progress, what it has been doing in the two years since it was built in the original 'How to Build a Steam Engine' and the plans for the pull that will take place in the coming days. The 'Morris Lubricants' ambassadors return next time for a trial run in Talisman around the streets of Shrewsbury.
- 2015– 6mTV EpisodeDuring this 2nd episode of 'How to Build a Steam Engine', 'Talisman' engineer and builder Alex Sharphouse takes TV presenter, engineering enthusiast and fellow 'Morris Lubricants' ambassador Guy Martin for a ride on 'Talisman' around the streets of Shrewsbury. They also discuss the brakes on 'Talisman' and how they will cope in the rugged hills of the Lake District.
- 'How to Build a Steam Engine' and 'Talisman's First Major Pull' could not have been possible without Alex Sharphouse's nephew Angus McIntosh who helped Alex find sponsorship from 'Morris Lubricants' when the project first began. Here Alex discusses the projects with Guy Martin about Angus and the fundraising page that has been set up in his memory for the 'Cystic Fibrosis Trust'. The 'Talisman Tour' honours Angus, who was not afraid of a challenge himself. During his life, he undertook all manners of physical challenges, from pushing himself by BMX biking competitively and racing bikes through London, all this while coping with symptoms of this disease.
