A maker of motor oils and the operator of thousands of quick oil-change shops, Valvoline keeps cars running through its Valvoline Instant Oil Change centers and its familiar blue-and-white lubricant bottles. It began in 1866 when physician Dr. John Ellis discovered that distilled crude oil lubricated steam engines better than animal fats, and he coined the name "Valvoline" in 1868 by blending "valve" with "oleum," the Latin word for oil. The brand became the first trademarked lubricant in the United States in 1873, and the company was spun off from Ashland in 2017.
