What is Valvoline?
Valvoline is one of the oldest and most recognized names in the automotive maintenance industry. Founded in 1866, the company traces its roots to the early days of petroleum-based lubricants and is widely recognized as the creator of the world's first branded motor oil.
Today, Valvoline operates thousands of service locations across North America through its Valvoline Instant Oil Change network. The company specializes in quick, preventive vehicle maintenance services designed to keep vehicles running efficiently while minimizing customer wait times.
