The new site is a powerful way to help make that happen.”

  • and a blog/media section for site visitors to stay informed on the latest news, sponsorships and racing results from Valvoline in EMEA.


“Valvoline prides itself on delivering the highest quality lubricant and chemical products to the markets we serve,” said L. Dean Doza, vice president and general manager for Valvoline EMEA. “In today’s high-tech world, this quality must also include the electronic interfaces we have with our customers. Our website is the new foundation for all Valvoline Web properties in the region, and our goal is to provide visitors with a consistent, high-quality, high-touch interactive experience with Valvoline EMEA on the Web.”
