ORLEN OIL ULTOR semi-synthetic oils for trucks

2024-09-18
Modern truck engines require a lubricant that meets the most stringent OEM standards, but they also have to meet increasingly restrictive EURO exhaust emissions.

Oils with the lowest viscosities 0W-XX, 5W-XX have carefully selected additives, which translates into better engine energy efficiency, fuel economy and extended oil change intervals. From the perspective of transport companies, this has a huge impact on the maintenance costs incurred, looking at the entire fleet of vehicles.

ORLEN OIL offers lubricants (apart from synthetic oils with viscosities of 5W-XX- 10W-XX and mineral oils 15W-XX, 20W-XX) that constitute a compromise between synthetic and mineral oils. Semi-synthetic oils are also perfect for not only modern engines that must cope with high and often variable loads, but also for vehicles equipped with older engines with high mileage, where engine cleanliness and better energy efficiency play an important role. Often, these vehicles are equipped with exhaust gas cleaning systems, which means that the engine oil should not have a negative impact on EGR/SCR, DPF, NOx systems. An important advantage of semi-synthetic oils is the price, which plays a big role for entrepreneurs with a fleet of vehicles. ORLEN OIL semi-synthetic engine oils have approvals from leading truck manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Renault, Man, Cummins, MTU, and Deutz. They also meet the rigorous API and ACEA standards as well as EURO VI, V, IV and lower emissions. ORLEN OIL OPTIMO 10W-30 oil deserves a special mention, as it has unique NEO GUARD technology. This technology aims to maintain the cleanliness of the engine interior, increase the protection of internal engine parts against abrasive wear, and extend the intervals for changing the service oil. NEO GUARD protection includes the latest dispersant additives and detergents that prevent the formation of harmful deposits and soot agglomerates, which translates into maximum efficiency and reduces the risk of serious vehicle failures. According to data from the Polish Organization of Oil Industry and Trade, in 2023 semi-synthetic oils had the largest share in the market for the sale of engine oils for trucks, obtaining 44%, thus replacing older and outdated mineral oils with a viscosity of 15W-XX, 20W-XX, which took second place with a market share of 41%.

The fleet of vehicles traveling on the roads of Poland and Europe is still getting younger, so the demand for oils with a viscosity of 10W-XX will continue to increase. Therefore, ORLEN OIL is conducting research on technologies that will meet the latest requirements for lubricant manufacturers in the coming years, cooperating with the largest suppliers of solutions in the field of additive packages, raw materials and technologies.

The current offer is tailored to meet customer expectations in terms of choosing the right engine oil for their vehicle or entire fleet.
