What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Smok and Tire podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Valvaline, the original motor oil. That's right, Valvaline was and is America's first ever motor oil brand. For 150 years, they've been innovating, creating, and reinventing the idea of motor oil. From the first high mileage to the first synthetic to the first racing oil,

they've never stopped pursuing innovation to maximize engine life.

And their latest innovation, extended protection, full synthetic motor oil,

provides 50% better wear protection than industry standards and is 10 times stronger against oil breakdown.

Valvaline extended protection is specifically formulated with dual defense additive technology, which combines an innovative additive

boosted with a fortified detergent system. You may not think you're a severe driver, but short trips, towing, extreme temperatures,

turbocharged engines, heavy loads, and spirited drives, put extra pressure on your engine.

And people like Chris Forrestberg, Rob Dom, Tvarish, Speed Academy, Gears and Gasoline, Dustin Williams, and T.J. Hunt, all trust Valvaline in their cars.

They're the only motor oil with a dedicated engine lab, where they can run specialized engine tests and standardized engine tests right in their own facility.

Valvaline is also the world's number one supplier of EV battery fluids offering

tailored products to help extend vehicle range and efficiency. Valvaline is proud to be the official

motor oil of Hendrick Motorsports, and this year, Valvaline driver Kyle Larson was crowned the

2021 NASCAR Cup Series regular season champion with nine wins and 2,000 laps lead.

If it's good enough for these folks, certainly good enough for your daily driver or weekend

sports car. So go to your local auto parts store and ask for Valvaline by name.
