In a move that proves good partnerships run as smoothly as a freshly serviced SUV, Valvoline Cummins Private Limited (Valvoline Cummins), a global leader in premium automotive fluids, and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (Mahindra), India’s SUV powerhouse, have shifted gears into a new strategic collaboration.
The partnership ensures that Mahindra’s engines, transmissions, and axles will now be lubricated with genuine high-performing fluids—chiefly the Mahindra Maximile brand—distributed through Mahindra dealerships and Bazar networks. In simpler terms: your SUV’s heart just found its perfect artery cleaner.
A Two-Decade Bond, Now in Overdrive
This isn’t a casual fling. Valvoline Cummins has been Mahindra’s trusted lubricants partner for over twenty years. But now, things are getting serious—Valvoline Cummins will supply the majority of Mahindra’s aftermarket lubricant needs. Think of it as upgrading from “just friends” to a full-blown, four-year exclusive commitment.
Custom-Crafted for Indian Roads
From the bustling highways of the West to the rugged terrains of the North and the bustling East, Valvoline’s high-performance lubricants will be tailored for Mahindra’s SUVs, passenger cars, and pickups. That means your Bolero, Scorpio, or XUV won’t just survive the road—it’ll thrive on it.
Greasing the Wheels of Sustainability
In true 2025 fashion, this partnership is not just about performance, but also about the planet. Valvoline Cummins will introduce Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) packaging in Mahindra’s supply chain. So, while your SUV gets pampered with top-class fluids, Mother Earth gets to breathe a little easier too.
Leaders Speak (Smoothly, of Course)
Sandeep Kalia, Managing Director, Valvoline Cummins, quipped, “Today marks a major milestone that reflects confidence in our technology, innovation, and people. Basically, we’re here to make Mahindra engines purr louder than ever.”
Michael Dreyer, Senior Vice President and General Manager APAC, Valvoline Global Operations, added, “This is more than a partnership—it’s a lubrication legend in the making. Together, Mahindra and Valvoline are setting new benchmarks in performance, innovation, and sustainability.”
With this collaboration, Mahindra and Valvoline are not just ensuring smoother rides but also smoother futures—both for drivers and the environment. After all, the secret to a happy SUV isn’t just horsepower—it’s the right oil change at the right time.
