In conjunction with an extensive product lineup, VPS also offers the Limited Lifetime Guarantee.

The Limited Lifetime Guarantee provides four levels of coverage, all of which take effect 500 miles after the initial service:
- Level 1: Customers receive coverage up to $4,000 when a professional technician performs the initial service within the first 50,000 miles.
- Level 2: Customers receive coverage up to $2,000 when a professional technician performs the initial service between 50,001 miles and 100,000 miles.
- Level 3: Customers receive coverage up to $1,000 when a professional technician performs the initial service between 100,001 miles and 125,000 miles.

Products Featured in the VPS Lineup
From premium engine, transmission, and drivetrain solutions to specially formulated offerings, this product series covers all major bases when it comes to preventative maintenance and care. Keep reading to discover which products you can integrate into your existing service offerings.
Brake Service
Like all major automotive fluids, brake fluid breaks down over time. With VPS brake service products, you can replace a customer’s brake fluid quickly and efficiently to extend brake component life. Valvoline offers DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids.
Cooling System Service
Modern engines demand more of the antifreeze or coolant circulating through every passageway. VPS cooling system products help reduce the chances of corrosive deposits forming using advanced detergents and additional sealers.
The Radiator Protection Kit and Water Pump Lubricant & Protector help clean and protect key cooling system components.
Engine Oil Service
Motor oils remain one of the most critical lubricants necessary to keep vehicles running. With more frequent oil changes now giving way to extended oil change intervals, performing an oil system service can help remove harmful sludge and build-up impeding oil flow.
VPS’s engine oil service products help your customers avoid decreases in power, fuel economy, and performance that can quickly lead to complete engine failure.
Fuel System Service
Whether you service a gasoline-powered or diesel-fueled vehicle, Valvoline Professional Series fuel products provide targeted solutions for fuel rails, injectors, throttle bodies, and more.
For example, the VPS 3 Part Plus Fuel System Kit addresses rough idle and knocking to help resolve this serious concern. VPS also offers premium products for gasoline direct injection (GDI) and port fuel injection (PFI) systems.
Power Steering Service
Power steering fluid service intervals may be longer, but they’re vital for maintaining key components like pumps, gears, seals, and valves. Use VPS power steering service products to reduce deposits and debris, making every turn after that easier for your customers.
Choose from your standard Full Synthetic Power Steering Kit and products specifically formulated for Honda/Acura vehicles.
Transmission Service
Protect key internal transmission components with VPS transmission products designed for longevity. Choose from the Automatic Transmission Service Kit, the CVT Service Kit, or VPS’s Manual Transmission Fluid.
Differential/Driveline Service
Remove abrasive metal debris and introduce thermal stability into the differential and driveline with Valvoline Professional Series products. Choose from two weights of Full Synthetic Gear Oil, including 75W-90 and 75W-140. VPS also offers Limited Slip Additive and Differential, Transfer Case & MT Cleaner.
Other Services
Beyond addressing key automotive systems and components, the VPS lineup also includes additional miscellaneous products your customers may need. The Battery Terminal Service Kit provides a great upsell when customers purchase a replacement battery, and the All Season Ultra Foam Evaporator Cleaner refreshes the HVAC system for a fresher interior.
