Oil Petro Canada

Are you familiar with the Petro Canada brand? If not, then it's time to pay attention to it. The company was founded in 1975. The initiator of its creation was the Parliament of Canada, concerned about the active development of the country's economy, which now needed high-quality fuels and lubricants and fuel. Thanks to unique developments, engineers managed to create an excellent quality oil that increases the life of propulsion systems and resists aggressive wear of mechanisms. Currently, the brand is known all over the world, and the manufacturing company itself ranks fourth in the ranking of the largest oil refineries in North America.

In order to understand what exactly such a lubricant is, which has won great success with car owners, let's get acquainted with its variety, and then learn how to distinguish counterfeit products from the original.

Product range

The Petro Canada product range includes hundreds of high quality lubricants recognized worldwide for their high performance. Let's take a closer look at the company's engine oils. They have five lines:

SUPREME

This line of motor oils belongs to the premium class. It is designed for four-stroke engines in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, SUVs and vans.

Among the advantages of the series, it is worth noting the low content of harmful impurities in the composition of the protective lubricant, it does not burn, does not evaporate, does not emit dangerous vapors into the atmosphere. All its operation is carried out in the usual way: a strong layer of oil is created on the parts, which protects the parts from aggressive interaction. The composition protects the filter elements and keeps contaminants in suspension throughout their entire service life.

This series has an extended service interval, so the driver can no longer remember the need for vehicle maintenance.

An exclusive package of additives guarantees cleanliness 24 hours a day in the working area: it effectively breaks down perennial deposits and prevents the formation of carbon deposits.

SUPREME SYNTHETIC

Like the previous series, SUPREME SYNTHETIC is designed for almost all types of cars. It has excellent performance properties that allow you to protect power plants from rapid wear. Petro Canada engine oil handles heavy loads efficiently, maintaining a stable, long-lasting lubricating film even during long-term operation at high speeds. Due to the fully synthetic composition, the oil does not undergo changes in unstable climatic conditions: the optimal viscosity is maintained both in severe frosts and in extreme heat.

Since the range of petroleum products is artificially created by Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc and does not contain recycled compounds, it is completely safe for vehicles and the environment. The total absence of sulfur, sulphated ash and phosphorus among the ingredients of Petro Canada oil allows you to carefully protect the system throughout the entire replacement period.

.

SUPREME C3 SYNTHETIC

The range has been developed exclusively for the high performance gasoline and low power diesel engines found in today's passenger cars, SUVs, vans and light commercial vehicles.

Thanks to a complex of special additives, the oil reliably protects diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters in cars. It also contributes to a moderate consumption of the fuel mixture, which leads to saving the car owner's personal funds. Like previous petroleum products, SUPREME C3 SYNTHETIC has increased resistance to extreme temperatures. The oil can be used anywhere in the world. Due to the stable composition, the grease does not lose its viscosity during thermal exposure: in cold weather, it provides fast and uniform filling of the system with a slight displacement of the crankshaft.

By creating the necessary level of pressure inside the system, the oil removes metal chips from the channels, which in large quantities can lead to a complete engine stop.

Tolerances and specifications:

5W-30 — ACEA C3/C2, API SN, MB 229.31.

SUPREME SYNTHETIC BLEND XL

This series includes only two products with a viscosity of 5W-20 and 5W-30 and a semi-synthetic chemical base. Its production technology - HT Purity Process - involves the purification of the base oil by 99,9%, which, in combination with the latest generation of additives, provides a number of attractive qualities: high resistance to thermal damage, maintaining optimal fluidity in harsh climatic conditions, reliable protection of mechanisms subjected to daily overloads .

Petro Canada engine oils in this series are designed to restore engine performance and extend engine life. Thanks to detergent components, cleanliness always reigns inside the propulsion system with BLEND XL poured into it: the oil cleans the channels from metal chips, dissolves coke and carbon deposits, and removes other contaminants. This ability of the lubricant composition makes it possible to extend the service life of the cylinder-piston group, significantly reduce the wear of oil scraper rings and neutralize corrosion processes inside the assembly.

Are there fakes?

Like any car oil popular with motorists, Petro Canada engine oil has been repeatedly counterfeited. However, the attackers did not achieve success - unofficial "shops" quickly closed their doors, so low-quality lubricant did not have time to spread to the world market. According to the manufacturer, today this engine oil has no fakes - all products that are in retail outlets are manufactured at a real factory. But is it?

Studying the reviews of experienced motorists, he comes to the opposite conclusion - there is a fake. And this happens quite often. And if in European countries the manufacturer carefully monitors all products, then in Russia everything is much simpler: it is sometimes difficult for the parent company to track the “garage masters” and the distribution channels for their fake oil. However, the presence of counterfeit products should not frighten car owners at all, since even a beginner, if desired, can distinguish any fake from the original. There are three ways to recognize a fake:

• low price The first thing we pay attention to when choosing a product is its cost. For some, the information on the price tag is decisive when choosing a motor lubricant. Following the desire to save is dangerous, as it can lead to costly repairs. How to react to the price? First of all, you need to calculate what discount the seller offers. If it is within 10-15 percent, then you can buy oil without fear. If its value exceeds 15 percent, then the acquisition should already be abandoned. The fact is that the production of very high-quality motor oil is very expensive for the company, so only those who have the production of allegedly real motor oil cost a penny can greatly underestimate the price.
• questionable exits. If you buy Petro Canada engine oil from dubious outlets, then you do not need to trust its authenticity. Original Petro Canada can only be sold in branded stores. At a minimum, they must have a prominent logo of this fuel and lubricants on the walls, showcases or signs of the store. As for the products themselves, sellers must have certificates confirming their quality. Before making a purchase, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the text of the documents. If there is none, then you no longer need to visit this store. By the way, you can also check the legality of the sale of branded products at a particular outlet by calling the official representatives of the manufacturer on the hotline.
• poor quality packaging. We determine the price, find the company store, now you need to pay attention to the product itself. His appearance will tell a lot. For example, if you immediately notice a large number of manufacturing defects, then you have come across a fake lubricant. The original always has clear contours, neat and barely noticeable glue seams; plastic does not exude unpleasant odors, has no cracks and deformations of the structure. The oil label is bright, clear and easy to read. Manufacturers stick a two-layer sticker on the back of the bottle, which contains all the necessary information about the type of engine oil you have chosen. If there is only one layer of the label, you do not need to purchase the product. Note: Each product must have a batch code.

The above signs of falsification testify to the ease of their recognition, because each of us can evaluate the quality of bottled oil or compare the cost of branded products from different suppliers. The main thing is to always be on the alert and trust your intuition!

How to choose the oil?

It is very difficult to study the wide range of oils produced in Canada. Having disassembled, say, five types of lubricants, you will no longer understand the difference between other products. Therefore, choosing the right lubricant can be a real torment for a car enthusiast. In order not to waste personal time studying all the advantages and disadvantages of oils, you can choose fuels and lubricants by car brand. It is very simple to do this - just use the special service posted on the official website.

Here you need to enter basic information about your vehicle, namely: its make, model, modification. The system will then select all suitable lubricants to make it easier to find service. The convenience of the service is also in the fact that it informs the car owner about the required amount of lubricant of one type or another and the frequency of its replacement.

Important! After using the oil selection service, you should not run to the store and buy some products, first you need to carefully compare the search results with the requirements of the car manufacturer. They can be found in the vehicle's owner's manual. Any deviation from the recommended parameters can play a cruel joke on you and disable the motor system for a long time.

So, for example, high viscosity can lead to difficult starting, displacement of excess oil from the power plant, increased fuel consumption, and constant overheating of the engine. Excessive fluidity can leave a car completely unprotected from the damaging forces of friction. In both cases, the consequences will hit the pocket hard. In order to avoid malfunctions of the engine installation, it is necessary to carefully compare the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer with the recommendations of Internet resources.

And finally

Canadian engine oil Petro Canada has proven itself for many years in a wide variety of operating conditions. It perfectly resists extreme temperatures, withstands prolonged loads and allows mechanisms to recover. But to get the most out of this technical fluid, you need to choose it correctly. The choice of oil is not an easy task, but no one promised that car maintenance would be easy. Therefore, before buying any oil products, you must carefully study the manual for the car, familiarize yourself with the permissible lubricants, and after choosing the brand that suits you, get information about the location of the company's stores. Only a lubricant that has documented evidence of its quality can extend the life of a motor unit.
