ADNOC Distribution launches new API-certified lubricants
The new range of ADNOC VOYAGER vehicle engine oils is the UAE’s first to meet the needs of the latest engine technologies and to be certified by the world-leading American Petroleum Institute (API).
The launch of ADNOC Distribution’s latest VOYAGER range follows three new oil standards set by the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). The new standards – ILSAC GF-6A, GF-6B and API SP – were introduced by the API on 1 May 2020 and have been designed for engines with cleaner emissions and better fuel efficiency, and the new VOYAGER range is one of the first globally to meet these new international standards.
The new lubricant is manufactured using ADNOC’s high quality Group III base oil, ADbase, which is produced by ADNOC Refining using ADNOC’s high paraffinic crude oil at its state-of-the art Ruwais refinery in the UAE. The high Viscosity Index (VI) of ADbase makes it an ideal lubricant component, ensuring efficiency and fuel economy for high performance engines, whilst meeting ever stringent environmental regulations.
Commenting on the new range, ADNOC Distribution’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Ahmed Al Shamsi said: “We are proud to be one of the first companies in the Middle East to introduce the latest international standards in vehicle oil technology to the UAE and also to some of our core export markets in the GCC as well as throughout Africa and Asia.
“The new range meets the needs of the latest engine technologies to enable better fuel efficiency, extend an engine’s lifespan and create cost savings for our customers. Our lubricants bring together quality from their very base to the expert technology used to create specific solutions that, together with regular lube change, maintain the efficiency of hybrid engines,” he added.
