Chevron Articles Co., a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, has introduced its Chevron PitPack easy-dispense motor oil system. The 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% by using six-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 upright 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 Articles. 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 Articles (synthetics, synthetic blends, and high mileage), the company points out.

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 eight-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.”
