Oil bases and their quality are critical to the performance of finished products and represent approximately 75% to 80% of a final lubricant.
OIL BASES
Solvent-refined, they contain more impurities and sulfur. They are less stable and cheaper.
Hydrocracked, purer and with better thermal and oxidative stability than those in Group 1.
Highly refined, almost synthetic, with excellent stability, purity and improved oil performance.
