How to combine the durability of synthetics and the moderate cost of mineral oil in one motor oil? There are two recipes:
- a competent mix of synthetic and mineral bases;
- no customs extra charges.
Both of these qualities were able to be combined in a Russian product: Lukoil Lux semi-synthetic 10W 40.
Feature of the production process: Lukoil-International independently produces base oils of groups 1 and 3 that meet API and ISO standards.
These raw materials are used by leading companies producing lubricants: such as Chevron, Afton and Petronas. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the quality of Lukoil motor oils. All products are at the level of the world's leading brands, at affordable prices.
Features of Lukoil Lux 10W 40 oil
Why is semi-synthetics created? The production of 100% synthetic bases (PAO or esters) is a costly endeavor. This cannot but affect the final cost of the product.
Even formal synthetics obtained using hydrocracking technologies are significantly more expensive than the mineral base. At the same time, a significant part of consumers do not need the unique qualities of synthesis products, at least in engines operating at medium loads.
If you mix high-quality mineral raw materials and a synthetic base in certain proportions (as is done in Lukoil 10W40 Lux), the result is a compromise:
- durable oil film at low and medium loads;
- high wear resistance of the oil itself;
- as a result – longer service intervals;
- good stability of characteristics over a wide temperature range;
- low oil oxidation under standard operating conditions (in critical situations, the mineral component is susceptible to oxidation);
Lukoil semi-synthetic 10W 40 is just such an option. If you do not drive the engine into critical operating modes, the oil parameters are no different from 100% synthetics.
If you practice an aggressive driving style, or constantly transport heavy loads, it is better to choose synthetic oil. But this is a completely different cost.
Another feature of semi-synthetics is gentle cleaning of engine parts. Removing slag deposits is not as fast, but you will be sure that a suddenly detached piece of sludge will not clog the oil line.
