Neste Oil

When choosing engine oil for your car and studying the products of the world's largest manufacturers, one cannot but pay attention to the Finnish Neste Oil lubricants. They first appeared in 1948 and from the first days of sales were able to win over the majority of car owners. Today, Neste Oil is one of the top five producers of synthetic base oils with an ultra-high viscosity index: ENVI. They are the basis of most modern automotive oils on the world market.

Motor oils Neste Oil

The products of the Finnish brand are represented by premium high-tech developments and high-quality economy-class mineral oils. The composition of any Neste Oil fluid includes the base Nextbase and a special additive package developed by world petrochemical manufacturers. Thanks to a unique combination of ingredients, an especially strong and heat-resistant film is created, which not only provides reliable protection for power plants, but also saves fuel mixture consumption.

Neste oil is especially popular in Northern Europe, the Baltic countries, Poland and Ukraine. In the domestic market, demand is growing every year.

Mineral engine oils

Neste Super Oil 10W-40

The line of mineral fluids for motors includes two series: Neste Special and Neste Super. They are designed for modern automotive engines, the part of which has already been exhausted and which require more frequent lubrication changes.

Excellent performance makes Neste Special suitable for most gasoline installations. This series of lubricants is based on high quality solvent refined paraffinic oils. This technology makes it possible to obtain a liquid that is resistant to oxidative processes and has good lubricity.

The series is represented by two summer and three universal fuels and lubricants. Summer manufacturers include Neste Special 30 and 40 oils. They have the same tolerances (API SG, GF-4) and differ only in the threshold of permissible high temperatures. These oils are suitable as gearbox lubrication.

General purpose lubricants include:

• 10W-30 (API SF, CC) - designed for normal year-round use,
• 20W-50 (SG, CF-4): Refers to a more viscous, heat resistant grade. Recommended for summer use
• 15W-40 (API SG, CD, CF-4, CF) - can be filled in diesel engines not equipped with a turbocharger.

Semi-synthetic engine oils

A series of semi-natural oils of the company is called "Premium". Neste engine oil is economical and does not require topping up during the entire replacement interval.

Neste Oil effectively protects the engine from premature wear and makes it easier to crank the crankshaft in severe frost. Premium grease contains the best modern additives that fight years of deposits, inhibit the formation of deposits, increase the temperature stability of the service fluid and stop corrosion inside the installation. The fluid is ideal for used cars: thanks to its special structure, the oil fills gaps of any size and promotes the free movement of parts. So, if there are more than one hundred thousand kilometers behind the “shoulders” of the car, the Premium series will restore the previous engine power without unpleasant consequences.

The semi-synthetic series is represented by two types of oil:

1. 5W-40 Approvals and specifications: API SL, CF, ACEA A3, B4.
2. 10W-40 Approvals and specifications: API SN, CF, ACEA A3, B4.

It should be noted that semi-synthetic Finnish oil can be mixed with other competitive products that have the same performance class. It is also worth noting that this grease can also be poured into old engines.

Synthetic engine oils

The production of synthetic lubricants is represented by three series: Neste 1, Neste City Standard and Neste City Pro. The first series was developed specifically for Finnish conditions: oils withstand low temperatures well, provide instant distribution of the oil composition of the lubricant to all structural elements and are excellent for urban conditions.

The Standard and Pro series are manufactured using secret technologies that save a significant part of the fuel mixture. Due to its fully synthetic composition, Neste Oil itself does not evaporate, which indicates even greater benefits for the car owner.

Advantages and disadvantages

Neste Oil motor oil, like the products of any petrochemical manufacturer, has strengths and weaknesses. First, consider the benefits of this oil.

Advantages:

• A wide range of products allows you to choose motor lubricant for almost any car. Mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic oils are available in various viscosity grades, making it much easier to choose the right product.
• Some series allow you to save on fuel mixture consumption and have a longer service life.
• Despite the great popularity of the brand, counterfeit products are extremely rare.
• All lines contain the most advanced additives that effectively fight deposits in the engine and prevent clogging of the channels of the system with metal chips. Neste oils neutralize chemical reactions inside the unit and reliably protect all working units from overheating and deformation. The stable and durable film facilitates the free movement of parts and does not interfere with the operation of the sealing structural elements.

Defects:

• Finding this Neste engine oil in small towns is almost impossible; mainly sold in large cities.
• The high cost is one of the reasons why Neste Oil is rarely found on store shelves. Due to the high quality and high cost of producing oils, the range of fully synthetic products exceeds the average market price. However, this drawback does not apply to economy class mineral water.

How to distinguish a fake?

Speaking about the lines, properties, strengths and weaknesses of the products, one cannot ignore the fact that all these characteristics are characteristic only of original oils. Half of the above subtleties are not characteristic of a fake: they will not prevent engine wear, they will not stop oxidative reactions, they will not prevent overheating.

A counterfeit product is dangerous in that its use can lead to serious problems. Fortunately, on the world market, most of the technical fluids sold under the brand in question are real. However, it is still worthwhile to provide a description of the signs of original oils in order to provide additional protection against fakes.

Signs of the original:

1. The front and back labels of branded products have a special curly cutout. On the front label, it is located on the left, on the back - on the right.
2. A liter jar has something like a halo around the neck; a four-liter capacity does not have such a feature.
3. Neste engine oil caps have a small molding defect in the center.
4. The batch code of the product is located at the bottom of the back of the container. It's easy to erase. The oil bottling date indicated in the batch code is “younger” than the date of manufacture of the bottle applied to its bottom by 1-3 months.
5. There are no better quality adhesive seams on the bottom of the container.
6. All markings embossed on the boat must be done flawlessly. Pay attention to the letters "n" and "o": their upper left part will be represented by a right angle.
7. Under the cover of the original product, you will not find any cardboard or plastic. Just aluminum foil. And with the company logo. Also under the actual oil plug is a special soft white gasket. The protective ring on the container is fragile enough that any attempt to discreetly unscrew the cap without damaging the ring will be unsuccessful.
8. The oil level inside the canister fully corresponds to the height of the measuring scale.

Selection of oil by car brand

Choosing a motor lubricant by car brand is quite simple - you just need to click on the "oil selection" button on the company's official website in the upper right corner. Here, by entering all the necessary data about your vehicle (make, model and engine type), you will receive complete information about the technical fluids allowed for use. Interestingly, the service offers various lubricants depending on the conditions of use, indicating replacement intervals and the required volume.

The selection of oil according to the Neste car brand is not limited to engine fluid. The site also informs the user about suitable company fluids for transmission, power steering, brake system and cooling system.

And finally

Neste Oil has achieved great demand in the global market due to the high quality of all petrochemical products. They maintain and improve vehicle performance by protecting all systems from serious problems. In order for lubrication to really positively affect the power and operational capabilities of the power plant, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the requirements of the automaker, and not contradict them.
