Valvoline Instant Oil Change and Great Canadian Oil Change service centers collectively raised more than $1.8 million in 2026 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, marking a nearly 40% increase over the $1.3 million raised in 2025. Contributions were driven by customer donations at the point of service, corporate-led events such as charity runs and online auctions, and direct grants from Valvoline Instant. Over 650 locations participated in the campaign, with average store-level fundraising climbing to $2,800—up from $2,000 in the prior year—underscoring the company’s commitment to community engagement and brand loyalty among its core customer base.

Analysts rate Valvoline as a buy, citing its recession-insulated, recurring maintenance model and an undervalued trading multiple relative to industry peers. The company has delivered positive same-store sales growth for 19 consecutive years, including during economic slowdowns, driven by core preventive maintenance services. Key growth levers include expansion of the SuperPro fleet offering, which integrates proprietary automation technology to streamline service workflows, boost throughput by 12% per bay and enhance labor efficiency. With over 1,100 fleet accounts added in the past twelve months and a pipeline of enterprise contracts pending, Valvoline is positioned for sustainable volume growth while its current multiple remains below the sector median.
