JEDDAH – Valvoline by Aramco served as the official lubricant partner for the 13th edition of the National Auto Award, held earlier this month in Jeddah. The collaboration marked a strategic alignment between the global lubricant brand and one of Saudi Arabia’s longest-running automotive industry recognition platforms.

Organized by PR Arabia, the event on November 3 gathered manufacturers, dealers, and distributors to recognize performance across the Kingdom’s automotive sector. The partnership highlights Aramco’s continued expansion into the downstream consumer market following its acquisition of Valvoline Global Operations, aiming to integrate advanced lubricant technologies within the local supply chain.

Walid Karanouh, Founder of the National Auto Award, said the participation of Valvoline supported the event’s objective to acknowledge industry developments.

Ahmad Abu Ragheb, Country Manager KSA for Valvoline, said the company’s support for the award reflects the importance of the Saudi market for the brand’s mobility solutions.

Valvoline, known as the world’s first branded motor oil, operates in the Kingdom through Aramco Lubricants & Retail Company. This entity acts as the official licensee, managing the distribution and development of lubricant products for both consumer and industrial applications in compliance with local regulatory standards.
