Valvoline Global Celebrates Mechanics Worldwide in March
In its 6th annual Mechanics Month, Valvoline is once again recognizing the hard work of mechanics around the world…
Valvoline Global Operations, maker of The Original Motor Oil, is gearing up for its 6th annual Mechanics Month initiative. Beginning Monday, March 3, the annual campaign celebrates the often-unsung heroes of the mobility industry and beyond—the mechanics who keep the world moving forward.
This year’s theme, “The Future is in Your Hands,” shines a spotlight on mechanics across the globe, highlighting their expertise, skills and critical work they do each day. From independent workshops and dealerships to construction sites and fleets, mechanics solve problems that others can’t. Yet, fixing machinery is only part of the job; mechanics also serve as educators and partners to their customers.
“Valvoline Global is proud to honor the important contributions of mechanics worldwide,” said Jamal Muashsher, Valvoline Global chief executive officer. “Mechanics Month is about recognizing the mechanics in our local communities who not only maintain the present but also shape the future by keeping people around the world moving forward.”
Global Recognition of Local Mechanics
As part of Mechanics Month, Valvoline Global teams in over 60 countries will celebrate local mechanics, working with community members to acknowledge their service. Notable celebrations spanning multiple regions include:
- Providing over 100 toolboxes, including safety gear and Valvoline-branded merchandise, to mechanics at workshops throughout Thailand.
- Hosting thank-you dinners featuring games, prizes and live entertainment for mechanics and their families throughout Southeast Asia.
- Teaming up with Hendrick Motorsports for surprise deliveries of Valvoline Mechanics Month packages to hardworking team mechanics in the U.S.
- Working with select distributor and school partners to offer dozens of scholarships across Mexico and El Salvador.
- Offering brand and product training to over 200 mechanics and various scholarship programs and initiatives throughout China.
The company will also feature mechanics in global web and social media spotlights during the month of March.
Valvoline Global’s Aspiring Mechanics Program
As the Official Lubricant Partner of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One (AMAF1) Team, Valvoline Global will further collaborate with its AMAF1 partner to highlight the importance of continuously building a pipeline of talented mechanics. For the second year in a row, AMAF1 will participate in Valvoline Global’s Aspiring Mechanics Program as they invite students from Milton Keynes College (United Kingdom) to learn from F1 mechanics.
The Valvoline Global Aspiring Mechanics Program, established in 2024, is focused on educating and supporting future mechanics as they grow their skills. Through this program, the company aims to play a direct role in minimizing the growing shortage of mechanics globally, while raising awareness of the importance of the trade.
