Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., announced distribution agreements with HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties and Renkert Oil to expand its North American base oils network.

Effective May 1, 2027, HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties will become Chevron's exclusive distributor of Group II base oils in Canada and in HF Sinclair's existing U.S. customer territories. HF Sinclair will also hold non-exclusive distribution rights for Group II base oils in select additional U.S. regions.

Renkert Oil will continue distributing Chevron's Paralux and Paramount process oils across the United States, Canada, and Europe, along with Nexbase Group III base oils in the U.S. and Canada, and Chevron Group II base oils in U.S. regions outside HF Sinclair's exclusive territory.

HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties previously announced, on July 28, the retirement of its base oil refining assets in Mississauga, Ontario.

"Customers need more than high-quality products – they need confidence in their supply partner," said Alicia Logan, general manager of Chevron Base Oils. "By working with both HF Sinclair Lubricants & Specialties and Renkert Oil, we're building on each partner's unique strengths to deliver reliable supply, local expertise and the flexibility our customers need as markets continue to evolve."

Chevron said it plans to introduce a Group III+ base oil product in early 2027. The company operates five base oil manufacturing facilities and distributes through 20 hubs globally, according to the press release.
