Valvoline™ Global Operations, maker of The Original Motor Oil, announced 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, skill, and heart for the critical work they do each day. From independent workshops to dealerships, construction sites to fleets, mechanics solve problems that others can’t. Yet, fixing machinery is only part of the job; mechanics serve as educators and partners to their customers, offering peace of mind when it matters most.

“Valvoline Global is proud to honour 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.
