Choosing the Best Motor Lubricants in South Africa 2019

27.06.2019 - 10:50

When choosing the best motor lubricant in South Africa it is important in the case of an engine oil that it improves engine performance, provides lower oil consumption, improves fuel-economy, extends service intervals and is suitable for optimum cold starting.

Today’s high-performance engines do have specific demands. Changes in fuels such as the use of bio components - and changes in engines design for lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions - are leading to an evolving development of engine oils.

High Thermal Stability

An engine oil should have high thermal stability and contribute to reducing engine wear. It should also be miscible, have good cold start properties and fast oil circulation in the entire engine at low temperatures. This means that the lubricant provides a protective coating on cold engine components when starting and allows the oil to circulate immediately, providing further protection and contributing to extended engine life.

As another example, extended oil change intervals contribute to lower costs and for heavy vehicles, less downtime. Due to the modern additive technology of FUCHS Lubricants TITAN CYTRAC TD SAE 75W-90 protects effectively against wear and corrosion. In combination with selected fully synthetic base oils this ensures excellent oxidation stability. At the same time it offers good compatibility with elastomers and synchronizer materials. Furthermore, the excellent temperature-viscosity behaviour ensures the optimal function under all operating conditions.

Heavy-duty Drive Axles in Commercial Vehicles

TITAN CYTRAC TD SAE 75W-90 is suitable for use in heavy-duty drive axles in commercial vehicles, and also for synchronized and non-synchronized manual transmissions, transfer boxes and auxiliary shafts.  

FUCHS Lubricants TITAN GT1 FLEX 23 SAE 5W-30 engine oil is also suitable for passenger cars and vans. With the combination of ACEA C2 and C3 and corresponding approvals, it offers a wide range of applications with harmonisation potential of several European and Asian manufacturers.

Engines with Start-stop-systems

It is also advantageous for modern downsizing engines and engines with start-stop-systems as well as exhaust gas after-treatment systems such as catalysts or particulate filters. The use of TITAN GT1 FLEX 23 SAE 5W-30 can result in more than a double fuel reduction compared to conventional ACEA C3-products of the same SAE-class.

TITAN GT1 FLEX 23 SAE 5W-30 is suitable for vehicles running on petrol, diesel or gas (LPG, CNG), and in combination with up-to-date exhaust gas after-treatment systems. Even older engine generations can be changed over to TITAN GT1 FLEX 23 SAE 5W-30. The product can also be applied in many vehicles of Asian manufacturers if the use of an API SN, ACEA C2 or C3 engine oil is specified.
