SSPC partners with Valvoline—Valvoline lubricants introduced across SSPC retail network

SSPC has recently expanded its retail offering by introducing Valvoline™ lubricants across its service station network in Fujian province, bringing a globally trusted lubricant brand closer to everyday drivers in China.

Sinopec SenMei (Fujian) Petroleum Company (SSPC) operates one of the largest fuel retail networks in the province and is backed by Sinopec, Saudi Aramco and ExxonMobil. Together with Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company (FREP), SSPC represents Aramco’s first joint venture investment in China and is widely regarded as a cornerstone of Aramco’s long-term engagement in the Chinese market. With nearly 950 service stations serving millions of customers each year, SSPC plays an important role in meeting local mobility needs while continuously upgrading its services and product offerings.

The newly introduced Valvoline products are part of Valvoline™ Global, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies. The acquisition reflects Aramco’s strategy to extend its value chain from upstream resources to consumer facing products, bringing high quality solutions directly to end users.

Founded 160 years ago, Valvoline™ is The Original Motor Oil — one of the world’s most established lubricant brands, empowering the mobility sector through continuous innovation. As of 2025, Valvoline Global serves customers in 140+ countries through more than 80,000 points of distribution, providing future ready automotive and industrial solutions and professional services worldwide. From high mileage vehicles and heavy duty applications to electric vehicles, Valvoline’s solutions cover a wide range of engines and drivetrains. At the same time, the brand continues to push the boundaries of innovation by extending its thermal management expertise beyond traditional mobility into areas such as high performance computing, opening up broader application scenarios.

By introducing Valvoline products into SSPC stations, customers in Fujian can now access high quality engine oils and vehicle care solutions backed by more than a century of technical expertise, together with Aramco’s global strengths in base oils, research and manufacturing. This cooperation also reflects SSPC’s broader effort to enhance its retail experience and evolve beyond traditional fuel sales. Alongside fueling services, many SSPC stations now offer convenience retail, car care services and, in selected locations, new energy solutions such as EV charging.

This collaboration illustrates how Aramco brings together long term investment, global capabilities and strong local partnerships to deliver tangible value in China’s local market. From refining and chemicals to retail and lubricants, Aramco continues to deepen its presence in China with a long term perspective—supporting local development, enhancing everyday customer experiences, and contributing to the evolving mobility and energy landscape in Fujian and beyond.
