Neste engine oil
There are many brands of products on the Russian market of automotive lubricants. Among them is the Finnish oil company Neste Oil. Unlike giants such as Mobil, Castrol is not yet a fake, so the chances of running into counterfeit products are small. Interestingly, this fact is beneficial, because Neste Oil engine oil, according to experts, is a very high-quality product.
Features of Neste oils
Each manufacturer of lubricants is trying to give them their own "zest". In most cases, this refers to additive packages that are added to base oils. A distinctive feature of Neste is a high viscosity index. It is achieved through the introduction of thickening additives that increase the viscosity index of the base lubricant.
The technology for the production of synthetic products, which makes it possible to obtain a consistently high viscosity, is called EGVI. Neste engine oil has an even purer base base than deep catalytic hydrocracking products, although it is also of mineral origin. Therefore, Finnish lubricants can be used in the latest engines equipped with systems for neutralizing harmful substances contained in exhaust gases.
The set of proactive plugins has the following features and contains:
- anti-wear additives based on the composition of phosphorus and zinc significantly extend the service life of the internal combustion engine before overhaul;
- the high alkaline level of the mixture, as well as calcium-based detergent additives, neutralize oxidation products well, clean the engine of soot, slag and other harmful deposits;
- oils freeze at temperatures below -40 ° C, and at high temperatures inside a running engine they do not liquefy; this indicates the good quality of additives that thicken the viscosity;
- friction modifiers save fuel and make it easier to start the internal combustion engine in any frost.
Finland has rather harsh climatic conditions, they are taken into account when developing lubricant products. Therefore, Neste engine oil, especially its City Pro family, is the best suited for operation in the northern regions of the Russian Federation.
Some lubricants from a Finnish manufacturer allow you to increase the interval between replacements up to 30 thousand km. This is a very good indicator characterizing the high quality of these lubricants.
Product range
Several families of motor oils are produced under the Neste brand:
- Neste City Pro oil;
- city standard series;
- semi-synthetics from the Premium line;
- special mineral water.
Of all these series, the City Pro series is the most popular and in demand. The base oil for these grades is produced by the EGVI method from heavy hydrocarbons of petroleum fractions.
The Neste Pro family
Neste City Pro 5W-40 is one of the most popular products on the market. This engine oil has been developed to meet the requirements of the world's leading car manufacturers, ensuring full compatibility with the latest aftertreatment systems. The viscosity index of the lubricant is 170 - this is a fairly high indicator that allows the lubricant to be used in any conditions and with any driving style, including sports.
Lubricating fluid belongs to the category of energy-saving. The product can be used to service gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines. Adapted for multi-valve and turbocharged engines. High temperature viscosity level 40 allows the use of oil for worn engines that have traveled more than 100 thousand kilometers. Low volatility, as well as a dense protective oil film, excludes high oil consumption during disposal. The pour point of Neste City Pro SAE 5W 40 is -44°C, which makes it easy to start the engine in harsh winter conditions.
The API standard, taking into account all the characteristics, assigned oils the SN / CF classes. The ACEA classifier defined the C3 category for the Pro 5w40 series. The product has OEM approvals from Mercedes Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Porsche, Renault, Ford, meets the requirements of General Motors.
In addition to this lubricant, several more specialized formulations are produced:
- City Pro LL 5W30 is designed for engines designed for Opel and Saab vehicles.
- City Pro C2 5W-30 is produced to meet the requirements for Japanese Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru engines, as well as French Citroen, Peugeot.
Other Neste Oil Series
If you need to select an oil for a used car, you can recommend the City Standard line of synthetic motor lubricants. These products in 5W40 and 10W40 viscosities are very good value for money. They comply with the A3/B4 ACEA categories as well as the SL/CF API. In addition to them, the Finnish corporation produces City Standard 5W30 - this lubricant mixture has OEM approvals for Ford cars. ACEA rating - A1 / B1, A5 / B5. SL/CF values assigned by the API.
Inexpensive semi-synthetic oils of the Premium family, as well as special minerals, will find their customers among owners of used cars, more than half of which are in the Russian car fleet. Obviously, the Finnish lubricant company Neste Oil produces products for all segments of the lubricants market.
