As part of the framework for measuring fair value, the accounting guidance provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:36pt"><span style="color:#022169;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Level 1</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> – Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:36pt"><span style="color:#022169;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Level 2 </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">– Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

IRS dated August 1, 2018, which states that the Plan is qualified under IRC Section 401(a), and therefore, the related trust is exempt from federal income taxes. Although the Plan that the IRS reviewed in issuing its most recent determination letter was since amended, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC to maintain its qualified status. Accordingly, income taxes are not provided for in the accompanying financial statements.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS.

The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits of the Plan for any tax periods in progress.</span></div> <div style="text-align:center"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:100.000%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:2.847%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:33.841%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.530%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:36.034%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.530%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:7.087%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:0.530%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:12.501%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="24" style="background-color:#022169;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Valvoline 401(k) Plan</span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="24" style="background-color:#022169;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Employer Identification Number 30-0939371</span></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="24" style="background-color:#022169;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Plan Number 002</span></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="24" style="background-color:#022169;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle"><span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Helvetica',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Schedule H;
