Valvoline Celebrates Mechanics Month

Valvoline™ Global Operations, the renowned maker of The Original Motor Oil, is thrilled to announce the sixth edition of its annual Mechanics Month initiative. Kicking off on March 3rd, this celebration is dedicated to honoring the essential contributions of mechanics who work tirelessly to keep the world moving.

The Future in Their Hands

The theme for this year's campaign, "The Future is in Your Hands," emphasizes the critical roles mechanics play in various landscapes—from busy repair shops and car dealerships to massive construction sites. Mechanics are not just problem solvers; they are educators and partners who ensure their clients feel reassured and empowered in their automotive decisions.

CEO Jamal Muashsher stated, "Valvoline Global is proud to acknowledge the significant impacts mechanics have on our lives and their communities. Mechanics Month serves as a reminder that these dedicated professionals not only support our transportation systems today but also shape the mobility solutions for the future."

Global Celebrations

Valvoline’s commitment to celebrating these everyday heroes is visible in over 60 countries. The multinational company has designed various activities for Mechanics Month that reflect community involvement and recognition. Here are a few notable highlights:

• - In Thailand, over 100 toolboxes loaded with safety gear and Valvoline-branded merchandise will be distributed to local mechanics.
• - Southeast Asia's celebrations will include thank-you dinners, games, and live entertainment for mechanics and their families.
• - Mechanics working with Hendrick Motorsports in the U.S. will receive surprise @Valvoline Mechanics Month packages, adding a delightful surprise to their hard work.
