Pennzoil Quaker State Company DBA SOPUS Products, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell USA, Inc., that comprises Shell’s United States lubricants business, has entered an agreement to sell Jiffy Lube International and its subsidiary Premium Velocity Auto LLC business to an affiliate of Monomoy Capital Partners for $1.3 billion. As part of this transaction, Pennzoil Quaker State Company has entered into a long-term lubricants supply agreement with Monomoy.
The sale includes the Jiffy Lube brand and a network of franchised stores which are owned and operated by independent franchisees, in addition to franchised stores that are owned and operated by PVA. Shell will retain its Pennzoil Quaker State, Rotella and other Shell lubricants brands, along with marketing, manufacturing and distribution of lubricants in the U.S. and Canada that serve consumer, commercial and industrial sectors.
“By capitalizing on a strong market opportunity, this divestment allows us to monetize an asset that is not central to Shell’s lubricant’s portfolio in the US and reinvest in opportunities that generate higher returns,” said Machteld de Haan, President, Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions, Shell plc.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and closing conditions.
Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this press release we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s net-zero emissions target
Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
