Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Valvoline Inc. (“Valvoline” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim financial reporting, which do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Valvoline’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates. In the opinion of management, the assumptions underlying the condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods are reasonable, and all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made and are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") global pandemic and its effects. Valvoline has substantially maintained its operations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to-date and has continued precautionary measures to protect the Company's employees and customers and manage through the currently known impacts on its business. Given the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, the extent of future impacts cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic. Recent accounting pronouncements The following standards relevant to Valvoline were either issued or adopted in the current year, or are expected to have a meaningful impact on Valvoline in future periods upon adoption. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued other accounting guidance during the period that is not currently applicable or expected to have a material impact on Valvoline’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and therefore, is not described below. Recently adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that changes the recognition of credit losses from an incurred or probable loss methodology to a current expected credit loss model that results in the immediate recognition of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are within the scope of the guidance, principally trade and other receivables for Valvoline. The new credit loss guidance was adopted on October 1, 2020 using the required modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the new accounting guidance is applied prospectively from the date of adoption through a cumulative effect adjustment in retained deficit, while prior period financial statements continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and resulted in a $2 million, net of tax, cumulative effect of accounting change that increased retained deficit and allowances for credit losses. In connection with and following the adoption of this guidance, Valvoline maintains allowances to estimate expected lifetime credit losses that are based on a broad range of reasonable and supportable information and factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, the financial health of its customers, macroeconomic conditions, and historical collection experience. Refer to Note 11 for additional information regarding the Company's trade and other receivables and its allowances for credit losses. Issued but not yet adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance regarding the effects of reference rate reform intended to ease financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank reference rates to alternative reference rates. The Company has interest rate swap hedging arrangements and long-term debt as described in Notes 2 and 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for which existing payments are based on LIBOR. This guidance is available to be adopted through the end of calendar 2022 to simplify the accounting for arrangements modified for the transition to alternative reference rates. |

There were no material gains or losses recognized in earnings for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020 related to these assets and liabilities. Long-term debt The fair values of the Company’s outstanding fixed rate senior notes shown in the table below are based on recent trading values, which are considered Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, rather than fair value, and is therefore excluded from the fair value table above. Carrying values shown in the following table are net of unamortized discounts and issuance costs.

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | Retail store acquisitions The Company acquired 100 service center stores in single and multi-store transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $223 million during the six months ended March 31, 2021. These acquisitions expand Valvoline's retail presence in key North American and international markets, increase the Quick Lubes system to more than 650 company-operated and 1,500 system-wide service center stores, and included: • Fourteen company-operated service center stores in Texas acquired from Kent Lubrication Centers Ltd. (doing business as Avis Lube) on October 1, 2020; • Twenty-one former franchise locations converted to company-operated service center stores in Kansas and Missouri acquired from Westco Lube, Inc. on October 15, 2020; • Twelve company-operated service center stores in Idaho acquired from L&F Enterprises (doing business as Einstein's Oilery) on October 30, 2020; • Twenty-seven Mister Oil Change Express® locations (15 company-operated and 12 franchise-operated) across seven states acquired from Car Wash Partners, Inc. on December 11, 2020; • Seven former franchise and 14 former joint venture locations converted to company-operated service center stores acquired in single and multi-store transactions; and • Five company-operated service center stores acquired in single store transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company acquired 14 service center stores in single and multi-store transactions, including six former franchise locations, for a total of $11 million. The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations. A summary follows of the aggregate cash consideration paid and the total assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the six months ended March 31: (In millions) 2021 2020 Inventories $ 2 $ — Other current assets 1 — Property, plant and equipment (a) 82 1 Operating lease assets 26 — Goodwill (b) 180 5 Intangible assets (c) Reacquired franchise rights (d) 34 5 Other 3 — Other current liabilities (a) (7) — Operating lease liabilities (24) — Other noncurrent liabilities (a) (74) — Net assets acquired $ 223 $ 11 (a) Includes $73 million of finance lease assets in property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities of $3 million and $70 million in other current and noncurrent liabilities, respectively, for leases acquired during the six months ended March 31, 2021. (b) Goodwill is generally expected to be deductible for income tax purposes and is primarily attributed to the operational synergies and potential growth expected to result in economic benefits in the respective markets of the acquisitions. (c) Intangible assets acquired during the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have weighted average amortization periods of 11 and nine years, respectively. (d) Prior to the acquisition of former franchise service center stores, Valvoline licensed the right to operate franchised quick lube service centers, including use of the Company’s trademarks and trade name. In connection with these acquisitions, Valvoline reacquired those rights and recognized separate definite-lived reacquired franchise rights intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted average remaining term of approximately 11 years for the rights reacquired in fiscal 2021. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. The fair values above are preliminary for up to one year from the date of acquisition as they may be subject to measurement period adjustments if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company does not currently expect any material changes to the preliminary purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed during the last twelve months. |

Debt | DEBT The following table summarizes Valvoline’s total debt as of: (In millions) March 31 September 30 2031 Notes $ 535 $ — 2030 Notes 600 600 2025 Notes — 800 Term Loan 475 475 Trade Receivables Facility 88 88 China Construction Facility 37 18 Debt issuance costs and discounts (15) (19) Total debt 1,720 1,962 Current portion of long-term debt 1 — Long-term debt $ 1,719 $ 1,962 Senior Notes The Company's outstanding fixed rate senior notes as of March 31, 2021 consist of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due 2031 with an aggregate principal amount of $535 million (the “2031 Notes") and 4.250% senior unsecured notes due 2030 with an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (the "2030 Notes," and collectively with the 2031 Notes, the "Senior Notes"). In January 2021, Valvoline issued the 2031 Notes in a private offering for net proceeds of $528 million (after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs). The net proceeds, along with cash and cash equivalents on hand, were used to redeem in full Valvoline's 4.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 with an aggregate principal amount of $800 million (the “2025 Notes"), plus an early redemption premium of $26 million, accrued and unpaid interest, as well as related fees and expenses for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $840 million. A loss on extinguishment of the 2025 Notes of $36 million was recognized in Net interest and other financing expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, comprised of the early redemption premium and the write-off of related unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2031 Notes are subject to customary events of default for similar debt securities, which if triggered may accelerate payment of principal, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest. Such events of default include non-payment of principal and interest, non-performance of covenants and obligations, default on other material debt, and bankruptcy or insolvency. If a change of control repurchase event occurs, Valvoline may be required to offer to purchase the 2031 Notes from the holders thereof. The 2031 Notes are not otherwise required to be repaid prior to maturity, although they may be redeemed at the option of Valvoline at any time prior to their maturity in the manner specified in the governing indenture. Senior Credit Agreement As of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) had an outstanding principal balance of $475 million, and there were no amounts outstanding under the $475 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), both of which are senior secured credit facilities provided under the senior credit agreement (the “Senior Credit Agreement”). As of March 31, 2021, the total borrowing capacity remaining under the Revolver was $470 million due to a reduction of $5 million for letters of credit outstanding. As of March 31, 2021, Valvoline was in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement. Trade Receivables Facility The $175 million trade receivables securitization facility (the "Trade Receivables Facility") had an outstanding balance of $88 million as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. The financing subsidiary owned $246 million and $267 million of outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, which are included in Receivables, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On April 27, 2021, Valvoline amended the Trade Receivables Facility to extend its maturity to April 2024 and modify the eligibility requirements for certain receivables, which had the effect of increasing the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity to $87 million as of March 31, 2021. The amendment also reduces the minimum required borrowing to the lesser of (i) 33 percent of the total facility limit or (ii) the borrowing base from the availability of eligible receivables, in addition to permitting up to a 30 consecutive day annual exemption from this requirement. Other relevant terms and conditions of Trade Receivables Facility were substantially unchanged under this amendment. China Construction Facility During the six months ended March 31, 2021, Valvoline borrowed $18 million under its $40 million credit agreement to finance capital expenditures associated with the preparation of the blending and packaging plant in China for production at capacity (the "China Construction Facility"). The China Construction Facility had approximately $37 million and $18 million outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The remaining borrowing capacity under the China Construction Facility was approximately $3 million as of March 31, 2021. China Working Capital Facility On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a one-year revolving credit facility of approximately $23 million to finance working capital needs for the blending and packaging plant in China (the “China Working Capital Facility”). Borrowings will bear interest at the local prime rate less the applicable interest rate margin with interest due monthly and repayment of borrowings due at maturity. As of March 31, 2021, the China Working Capital Facility had no outstanding borrowings, leaving its full borrowing capacity of approximately $23 million remaining. |

Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES Income tax provisions for interim quarterly periods are based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual discrete items related specifically to interim periods. The following summarizes income tax expense and the effective tax rate in each interim period: Three months ended Six months ended March 31 March 31 (In millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Income tax expense $ 22 $ 25 $ 52 $ 49 Effective tax rate percentage 24.4 % 28.4 % 25.1 % 26.5 % The decreases in effective tax rates for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 were principally driven by tax reform legislation enacted in the prior year, which resulted in lower current year taxes and unfavorable discrete activity in the prior ye ar periods. Higher pre-tax earnings in the six months ended March 31, 2021 more than offset these benefits resulting in an increase in tax expense for the current year-to-date period. From a combination of statute expirations and anticipated audit settlements in the next twelve months, Valvoline currently estimates a decrease in the range of $25 million to $35 million in indemnity obligations due to the Company's former parent, which is expected to include certain unrecognized tax benefits. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Litigation, Claims and Contingencies | LITIGATION, CLAIMS AND CONTINGENCIES From time to time, Valvoline is party to lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company establishes liabilities for the outcome of such matters where losses are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. Where appropriate, the Company has recorded liabilities with respect to these matters, which were not material for the periods presented as reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements herein. There are certain claims and legal proceedings pending where loss is not determined to be probable or reasonably estimable, and therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, Valvoline discloses matters when management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. In all instances, management has assessed each matter based on current information available and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the amount and nature of the claim and the probability of success. The Company believes it has established adequate accruals for liabilities that are probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy liabilities from these matters will not exceed the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, based on information available at this time, it is the opinion of management that such pending claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Reportable Segment Information | REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION Valvoline manages and reports within the following three segments: • Quick Lubes services the passenger car and light truck quick lube market in the United States and Canada through company-operated and independent franchised retail quick lube service center stores and independent Express Care stores that service vehicles with Valvoline products. • Core North America sells engine and automotive maintenance products in the United States and Canada to retailers, installers, and heavy-duty customers to service vehicles and equipment. • International sells engine and automotive maintenance products in more than 140 countries outside of the United States and Canada for the maintenance of consumer and commercial vehicles and equipment. These segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance and in allocating resources. Sales and operating income are the primary U.S. GAAP measures evaluated in assessing each reportable segment’s financial performance. Operating income by segment includes the allocation of shared corporate costs, which are allocated consistently based on each segment’s proportional contribution to various financial measures. Intersegment sales are not material, and assets are not allocated and included in the assessment of segment performance; consequently, these items are not disclosed by segment herein. To maintain operating focus on business performance, certain corporate and non-operational items, including adjustments related to legacy businesses that no longer are attributed to Valvoline, are excluded from the segment operating results utilized by the chief operating decision maker in evaluating segment performance and are separately delineated within Unallocated and other to reconcile to total reported Operating income as shown in the table below.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Valvoline Inc. (“Valvoline” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim financial reporting, which do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Valvoline’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates. In the opinion of management, the assumptions underlying the condensed consolidated financial statements for these interim periods are reasonable, and all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made and are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") global pandemic and its effects. Valvoline has substantially maintained its operations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to-date and has continued precautionary measures to protect the Company's employees and customers and manage through the currently known impacts on its business. Given the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, the extent of future impacts cannot be reasonably estimated at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | The following standards relevant to Valvoline were either issued or adopted in the current year, or are expected to have a meaningful impact on Valvoline in future periods upon adoption. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued other accounting guidance during the period that is not currently applicable or expected to have a material impact on Valvoline’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and therefore, is not described below. Recently adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that changes the recognition of credit losses from an incurred or probable loss methodology to a current expected credit loss model that results in the immediate recognition of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are within the scope of the guidance, principally trade and other receivables for Valvoline. The new credit loss guidance was adopted on October 1, 2020 using the required modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the new accounting guidance is applied prospectively from the date of adoption through a cumulative effect adjustment in retained deficit, while prior period financial statements continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and resulted in a $2 million, net of tax, cumulative effect of accounting change that increased retained deficit and allowances for credit losses. In connection with and following the adoption of this guidance, Valvoline maintains allowances to estimate expected lifetime credit losses that are based on a broad range of reasonable and supportable information and factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, the financial health of its customers, macroeconomic conditions, and historical collection experience. Refer to Note 11 for additional information regarding the Company's trade and other receivables and its allowances for credit losses. Issued but not yet adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance regarding the effects of reference rate reform intended to ease financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank reference rates to alternative reference rates. The Company has interest rate swap hedging arrangements and long-term debt as described in Notes 2 and 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for which existing payments are based on LIBOR. This guidance is available to be adopted through the end of calendar 2022 to simplify the accounting for arrangements modified for the transition to alternative reference rates. |

(b) Goodwill is generally expected to be deductible for income tax purposes and is primarily attributed to the operational synergies and potential growth expected to result in economic benefits in the respective markets of the acquisitions. (c) Intangible assets acquired during the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have weighted average amortization periods of 11 and nine years, respectively. (d) Prior to the acquisition of former franchise service center stores, Valvoline licensed the right to operate franchised quick lube service centers, including use of the Company’s trademarks and trade name. In connection with these acquisitions, Valvoline reacquired those rights and recognized separate definite-lived reacquired franchise rights intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted average remaining term of approximately 11 years for the rights reacquired in fiscal 2021. The effective settlement of these arrangements resulted in no settlement gain or loss as the contractual terms were at market. |
