Wolf engine oil

Wolf oil first appeared on the world market about 60 years ago. From the first days of its existence, Belgian oil products began to actively seek the sympathy of consumers. Efficient, durable, heat-resistant - the oil quickly gained a reputation as an elite lubricant.

Currently, the main demand falls on the CIS countries, but the products are gradually beginning to enter the Russian market. Every year the number of official product dealers is growing, which makes it more accessible not only for residents of megacities, but also for car owners in the most remote corners of the country.

The company's product range includes more than 245 types of fuels and lubricants. Most of them are high performance engine oils. Let's take a closer look at its varieties, as well as learn how to protect your car from counterfeit products.

Range of motor oils

Wolf engine oil is available in five lines. Let's dwell on each of them in more detail.

ECOTECH

WOLF ECOTECH 0W30 C3

The series is represented by fully synthetic motor oils produced using the most modern technologies. Wolf oil retains stable fluidity at high and low temperatures. Due to its unique chemical composition, it instantly fills the entire system and contributes to the effective protection of structural elements during start-up.

Wolf oil of this series can be filled in four-stroke gasoline and diesel power plants equipped with a turbocharger or without it. If the diesel engine is equipped with a particulate filter, the use of such a lubricant is prohibited.

The Belgian oil product ECOTECH helps keep the system clean. The package of active additives allows you to remove contaminants from the channels and the working area without damaging the metal surface. At the same time, the oil itself does not leave carbon deposits.

In addition to internal cleanliness, automotive oil also provides external cleanliness: it optimizes engine performance and reduces friction losses, the fuel mixture begins to burn economically, releasing less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The line includes lubricants with a viscosity of 0W-20, 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-20, 5W-30. All of them are all-weather, so they will provide careful protection of the system in any weather conditions - from severe frost to extreme heat.

VITALTECH

WOLF VITALTECH 5W30 D1

This Wolf engine oil was developed by the company specifically for high-performance machines. Provides stable operation of powerful engines, often operating under high loads. To ensure that the surface of the parts does not wear out, but continues to function properly, VITALTECH creates a durable protective layer on them that does not tear even after the replacement interval has been exceeded.

Such a stable composition is obtained through the use of non-traditional base oils on a fully synthetic basis and a package of special additives that maintain a constant viscosity coefficient. To this day, the technology for the production of motor oils in this series is classified, so it is almost impossible to find competing lubricants with similar properties.

Like the previous line, VITALTECH belongs to the category of universal fluids capable of controlling viscosity with changing weather conditions. So, for example, the oil copes with severe frosts without problems, is instantly distributed throughout the system and does not allow the formation of even a second lack of oil. On hot sunny days, fuels and lubricants maintain thermal stability without seeping through cracks and evaporating from the system.

The line includes a large number of viscosities: 0W-30, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50.

GUARDTECH

A real find for the consumer concerned about the state of the environment. The composition of the oil contains a minimum amount of ash, which ensures the safety of exhaust gases for nature.

Wolf oil complies with EURO 4 requirements and ACEA A3/B4-08 approvals. It can be used in four-stroke engines with diesel and petrol fuel systems. Manufacturers have also approved the use of lubricants in engines equipped with direct fuel injection systems such as HDI, CDI, CommonRail.

Unfortunately, the oil does not have a long service interval, but its capabilities remain throughout its entire service life. If the owner of the car delayed the replacement, the lubricant will actively fight for the safety of work processes. However, this feature should not be abused.

As for the advantages of the series, it is worth noting the composition for all seasons, its resistance to bad weather and increased operational loads, as well as the improvement in the power characteristics of the internal combustion engine without reducing its resource.

The following viscosities are available in the series: 10W-40, 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-50.

For lovers of seasonal lubricants, Wolf Oil has prepared a special surprise: summer oils with a viscosity of 40 and 50.

EXTENDTECH

Wolf EXTENDTECH 10W40 HM

Each brand of Wolf Oil engine oil included in this series has a fully synthetic base. Designed to meet the most stringent requirements of car manufacturers using the latest technology, it boasts unsurpassed quality and incredibly stable properties.

Such oil can be poured into a diesel or gasoline car engine. In this case, the presence or absence of turbocharging does not play any role. The exception is diesel engines with a particulate filter: the composition is harmful for them.

Speaking about the advantages of motor fluid, one cannot fail to mention its extended replacement interval. Thanks to the use of non-traditional base oils, lubricity is retained much longer than comparable products of competitors. Thus, the car owner manages to save on the maintenance of his vehicle.

Additionally, EXTENDTECH provides the system with timely cooling, removing excess heat from the working area. This feature can significantly reduce the load on the structural elements and optimize the additional consumption of the fuel mixture.

Of the advantages, it should also be noted excellent anti-corrosion properties: getting into the engine, the lubricant neutralizes chemical reactions and prolongs the life of the engine.

Among the available lubricants: 5W-40, 10W-40.

OFFICIALTECH

Лобо OFFICIALTECH 5W30 LL III

Another Wolf line with very attractive features. Before proceeding with the choice of oil, it is necessary to study each OFFICIALTECH model. All lubricants are developed for specific car manufacturers, which greatly simplifies the choice.

The series comprehensively takes care of the state of the power plant: oils help to remove third-party debris from the working area, make it easier to start the engine at critical temperatures, and neutralize oxidation processes.

The excellent distribution of the composition over the structural elements and the creation of a strong protective film on them guarantee quiet operation and a noticeable reduction in vibrations. After pouring this series of lubricants under the hood, even the most rattling car will make pleasant rumbling sounds. The main thing is not to confuse tolerances.

This Wolf engine oil can be used in modern four-stroke gasoline and diesel engine installations that can combine high-speed driving and stop/start driving. In the case of prolonged engine operation at high speeds, the lubricant will also retain its original properties and protect the mechanisms from overheating.

How to deal with fakes?

Despite the fact that the oil appeared on the market relatively recently, it has already managed to acquire counterfeit competition. And in order to appreciate all the possibilities of innovative engine oil, it is important to be able to distinguish it from a low-quality fake.

The production of original products is located in Antwerp, Belgium. Until now, this is the only place from where motor oils are transported to all countries of the world, including Russia.

All Wolf Oil lubricants are bottled in plastic containers, which are notoriously easy to counterfeit. To protect your brand from the tricks of intruders, engineers have implemented several features on the bottle of Belgian oils.

The following features allow you to distinguish the original from the fake:

original wolf oil signs

  • The back label consists of two layers. Contains detailed product information and vehicle manufacturer approvals. And in several languages. If, when sticking the label, you find traces of glue on the bottom layer, then you have a fake product in front of you. The original is made to perfection, so such flaws in production are not characteristic of it.
  • There can be no complaints about the quality of all stickers: they must have a rich color scheme, easily distinguishable text, a barcode readable from mobile devices and a unique engine oil code.
  • branded packaging has a company logo, specification and brand of lubricant, container volume and category of vehicles into which oil can be filled.
  • Instructions for opening the jar can be found on the cork of the 4-5 liter container. After detaching the retaining "antennas", a small funnel will appear to your attention, allowing you to carefully pour lubricant into the engine oil filler neck. The funnel is made of high quality soft plastic, so there can be no manufacturing defects. To get to the liquid itself, the car owner will have to turn off special controls. Liter containers do not have such subtleties, they are fixed with a protective ring, which easily comes off at the first attempt to turn the “shutter”.
  • the lid of the unopened container fits perfectly to the body of the vial. “Sits like a glove” is the expression that comes to mind when you try to find at least the smallest space between them.
  • At the top of the back of the container, the manufacturer uses a laser to print the bottling date and batch code. Try swiping your finger across the inscription. Worn out? So this is not true.
  • Engine oil produced under the Wolf brand is bottled in high-quality plastic containers, which should not have cracks, chips or other defects. The bottom of the pack deserves special attention: unlike similar products of competitors that are in great demand on the world market, the bottom of the pack is made with great care. The joints here are perfect and barely noticeable, the inscriptions are easy to read and do not “dance” on the surface.

Original wolf oil label

Despite the fairly simple visual signs, the car owner can only partially protect himself from forgery. Why partially? Because there are clever counterfeiters who will convince anyone of the originality of an oily product. If you don't want to risk falling for their tricks, check out the list of wolf oil dealers near you. To do this, go to the company's website and go to the "Where to buy" section. The system will notify you of the location of technical service centers, professional workshops, points of sale of branded oils and will provide you with the addresses of agents and distributors of the Belgian manufacturer.

If you find products in the store that are not presented on the official website, it is dangerous to buy motorcycle products there.

How to choose the oil?

It is quite difficult to choose oil by car brand on your own; After all, there are more than five dozen varieties in the assortment. How to choose one thing and not even be disappointed? First of all, the motorist must familiarize himself with the tolerances of his vehicle. Take the user manual and read it carefully. Although Russian people are not accustomed to resorting to manuals, they cannot do without your help.

After reviewing the requirements of the car manufacturer, you can proceed to the search for oil. There are two options: complex and simple. Difficult involves careful familiarization with each type of lubricant and its selection by eliminating unsuitable options. Unfortunately, after the ninth or tenth oil product, the motorist will no longer understand the difference between them. Therefore, in order not to torture yourself, resort to an easy search. To do this, you need to go to the official website of Belgian oil, go to the "Products" section and fill out the form that opens in the central part of the page. Specify the category, make, model and modification of your car, and then appreciate the significant time savings.

The system informs you of available lubricants, including for the engine, transmission and power steering, and then tells you the change interval and the required amount of oil.

After studying the results, exclude options that contradict the instructions for using the car. Otherwise, you can ruin the power unit and continue your trips already on public transport.

And finally

The sheer variety of the relatively new Wolf motor oil is exciting and confusing at the same time. Delight causes countless petroleum products that have excellent lubricating properties and effectively protect the car from further wear. The process of choosing the right fluid is confusing.

Despite the fact that manufacturers have developed a special oil selection service for the convenience of car owners, some fluids displayed in the search are not suitable for vehicles. Therefore, if you really want to appreciate the high quality of Belgian petroleum products, then study the requirements of the car manufacturer and buy oil only from official representatives.
