What are vehicle lubricants composed of?

Each car requires a specific lubricant depending on its characteristics and those of its engine. Lubricants are obtained from base oils, which are derived from petroleum. These bases contain additives in small quantities, which improve the quality of the product, its benefits and the type of application that is desired.

Minerals

They are obtained directly from oil distillation and additives are added.

Synthetics

They respond to the demands of the most outstanding engines and have a better quality and benefits base.

Semi-synthetics

These are made up of a mixture of minerals and synthetics.

What kind of lubricant does your car need?
