LEXINGTON, KY - June 4, 2009: Valvoline has initiated a new program that they believe will change the face of the motor oil industry. In short, if a user meets several requirements their engine can be guaranteed up to 300,000 miles.

"We're putting our money where our mouth is," said Sam Mitchell, president, Ashland Consumer Markets (Valvoline). "We want to keep people on the road. Period. Vehicles that use Valvoline continue to perform. We have the utmost confidence in our products, so we're excited to now offer this best-in-class guarantee."

Drivers can register to participate in the Valvoline Engine Guarantee program via a simple three-step process at valvoline.com. Vehicles are eligible to be registered only before reaching 75,000 miles. For detailed benefits and limitations of the Valvoline Engine Guarantee, visit valvoline.com.
