Brand history & milestones
In 1866, a curious Dr. Ellis was distilling crude oil when he discovered its lubricating properties. This gave birth to the world’s first petroleum-based lubricant or Valvoline (officially trademarked in 1873) as it is renowned today. When internal combustion engines were set to revolutionize the world, Dr. Ellis pitched it as the first lubricant to be used in automobiles. When Henry Ford designed the First Ford Model T, it came with Valvoline inside its engine with a strict warning to not use any other oil in the car. Since then, the passion to innovate has become synonymous with Valvoline in 1939 Valvoline introduced X-18, the first-ever universal motor oil that was suitable for a huge range of applications. A product that solved a problem, drivers had been facing for over 30 years. Our original commitment to change with the changing engine technology is the reason behind the highest quality motor oils, lubricants, and cleaners that Valvoline delivers today. It is also why Valvoline has kept its customers' trust for over 150 years. We have stayed original by staying one step ahead and creating the first racing, first synthetic, and first high mileage motor oils and by meeting the evolving needs of the automotive, commercial, and industrial sectors across 140 countries. As long as Valvoline stays original, engines will never lose their original performance. Our history has mostly been about getting machines to perform in incredible ways. But, the future of oil is where you take it.
