Chevron Unveils PitPack Motor Oil Dispensing System

Solution Designed to Increase Efficiency and
Profitability while Significantly Reducing Waste for Professional
Motor Oil Installers
Chevron Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, maker
of the Havoline® brand of advanced engine oils, today introduced
its new Chevron PitPack easy-dispense motor oil system. The unique
packaging and delivery system helps professional motor oil
installers more efficiently store and deliver oil to customer
vehicles.
The PitPack system can reduce landfill waste by up to 89 percent
by using 6-gallon plastic bags and recyclable corrugate boxes of
motor oil rather than individual plastic quart bottles. This
package can reduce a car’s time needed in a service bay by
dispensing motor oil quickly from the boxes via a high-flow, no
drip tap. Chevron’s PitPack rack also has a unique shelf design to
keep fluid spills from reaching the floor and allows for easy clean
up in fast-paced shop environments.
The up-right PitPack rack system takes up approximately half the
space of the equivalent volume of quart cases, allowing businesses
to provide the broad range of Havoline®, Delo® and Supreme
products. It is a bulk-type alternative for locations where adding
another tank is not viable and space for a 55-gallon drum is not
available. This solution helps professional installers manage the
complexity associated with the growing number of premium products
(synthetics, synthetic blends, and high mileage).
Port Consolidated Inc., a Chevron 1st Source Elite Lubrication
Marketer, has already seen the benefits of the PitPack system.
According to Michael Griffith, vice president for the company, “The
PitPack system is a win for Port Consolidated, a win for our
installers, and a win for the consumers. As a distributor, we
benefit from an increased ability to penetrate accounts with
specialty lubricants and a reduction in delivery frequency as
opposed to typical case goods. Our installers benefit from better
inventory control, lower cost of goods, and faster turn times.
Additionally, the end users like the fact that they are doing their
part to help the environment by doing business with a facility that
reduces waste.”
Dave Schletewitz, Havoline North America Brand Manager at
Chevron, added, “The PitPack system can deliver significant
operational efficiencies, at a lower cost than dealing with quart
packages, all with strong environmental benefits. This 8-box rack
system significantly reduces plastic waste by holding the
equivalent of 192 plastic quart bottles in its 100% recyclable
corrugate boxes. It’s a win-win for businesses looking to improve
profits, efficiency and their environmental stewardship – and a win
for consumers who want to spend their dollars with businesses that
are committed to reducing waste in their community.”
There will be 20 motor oil products available across the
Havoline®, Delo® and Supreme brands, and product orders can be made
through the regular channels.
