In addition to its core lubricant business, Valvoline operates one of North America’s largest quick‐lubricant service networks through Valvoline Instant Oil Change℠ (VIOC). The VIOC system provides fast, professional preventive maintenance services—including oil and filter changes, battery checks, wiper blade replacements and fluid top‐offs—through a combination of company‐operated and licensed locations. This service segment enhances Valvoline’s direct‐to‐consumer presence and generates recurring customer relationships across the United States and Canada.
Founded in 1866 by Dr. John Ellis, Valvoline introduced America’s first petroleum‐based motor oil and quickly established a reputation for innovation in engine protection. The company was later integrated into Ashland Inc. before completing its spin‐off as an independent, publicly traded entity in 2016. Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, Valvoline has leveraged more than 150 years of technical expertise to expand its research and development capabilities and strengthen its product pipeline.
Valvoline serves customers in over 140 countries, with a significant presence in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Sam Mitchell and Chief Financial Officer Betsey C. Nahorney, the company continues to pursue strategic growth initiatives, including brand licensing agreements and targeted investments in service center expansion. Valvoline’s global infrastructure and extensive distribution network position it to meet evolving needs in vehicle maintenance and engine performance.
