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.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 3 years: +27.3K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
