Valvoline has introduced NextGen engine oil for commercial and industrial customers across EMEA. The new oil formula is made from 50% recycled oil.

it is available in 208L drum and 20L pail sizes and is priced for sale equivalent with Valvoline’s regular engine oil.

NextGen engine oil is the culmination of years of continued research, technology and innovation from Valvoline scientists coupled with advancement in the oil re-refining process.

Used oil is now refined with the same processes as crude oil. Because used oil actually contains fewer contaminants and more usable molecules than crude oil, the result is new, high quality base oil. The highest quality recycled oil is used and then improved with Valvoline’s award-winning additives to make NextGen exceed industry specifications and match the high quality of other Valvoline engine oils.

“The launch of NextGen engine oil in the EMEA region is a truly exciting event for two key reasons. First, we provide the EMEA customer base with a unique combination of a high-performance engine oil and a positive contribution to our environment. Secondly, we are the first major global brand to bring this compelling and differentiated proposition to the transportation markets of EMEA,” said Frank Rouwens, director of business development and marketing, Valvoline EMEA. “So, we are proud to state that we not only guarantee superior protection for our customers’ engines, but we also contribute to the protection of the natural environment in which we all live.”

Worldwide, engines use 39 billion litres of oil annually. Most of the used oil is treated as waste.
