National Oil and Lube News: Home
National Oil and Lube News is the only media brand dedicated to quick lube and fast maintenance business owners, operators, and managers.
www.noln.netHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent publicly available updates:
- Valvoline announces industry-first motor oil innovations, including long-drain, OEM-approved formulations and products designed to restore engine cleanliness. This signals ongoing emphasis on extended drain intervals and deposit removal as market differentiators.[1]
- Shell and Ducati partnerships continue to showcase high-performance engine oils, with recent releases highlighting API SP-era formulations and collaboration expansions across global markets.[3]
- Industry outlets and lubricant manufacturers have been highlighting transitions in gasoline motor oil categories (e.g., GF-7 updates) and corresponding guidance for fleets and automotive enthusiasts adapting to new specifications, indicating a broad move toward newer standards in North America and beyond.[2]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to:
- Specific brands (e.g., Valvoline, Shell) and their latest product launches
- Technical updates (GF-7, API SP readiness) and what they mean for your vehicle
- News relevant to consumer-facing markets in the Chicago area or the U.S.
Would you like me to pull the most recent press releases from those companies or summarize GF-7/API SP transitions for everyday vehicles? I can also set up a quick digest with links to the newest articles.
Note: If you want sources cited inline for each point, I can provide direct citations from the latest press pages and industry updates.
