Valvoline Restore & Protect 0W-20 Motor Oil

Valvoline is a historic American brand recognized as the first trademarked lubricant brand in the United States, founded by Dr. John Ellis in 1866. This specific product, Valvoline Restore & Protect, is a premium full synthetic motor oil designed for advanced engine cleaning and protection. It is widely distributed across North America, including major retailers in Canada.

While the brand has long been a staple of American automotive history, its ownership has evolved significantly. In March 2023, Valvoline Inc. completed the sale of its Global Products business (the lubricants and chemicals division) to Saudi Aramco, one of the world's largest integrated energy and chemicals companies. Consequently, while Valvoline Inc. continues to operate as a retail services company (Valvoline Instant Oil Change), the Valvoline brand and product manufacturing for oils and lubricants are now ultimately owned by the Saudi Arabian Oil Group (Aramco). Manufacturing remains primarily centered in the United States and other global blending facilities to serve local markets.
