Founded in 1953 by three businessmen with $3,000 in start-up capital in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the name was derived from "Scientifically Treated Petroleum". The sole product was STP Oil Treatment. In 1961, the company was acquired by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
Studebaker briefly tied STP into its advertising as an abbreviation for "Studebaker Tested Products".
