INTRODUCTION
EVERY CAR, VEHICLE, INDUSTRIAL PLANT AND EQUIPMENT OWNER REALIZES THAT OIL COMPANIES WOULD LIKE TO SELL MORE OIL, AND THAT ENGINE & COMPONENT MANUFACTURES WOULD LIKE TO SELL MORE ENGINES, BEARINGS, ETC. THE FACT THAT THE WORLD ENGINE & COMPONENTS AFTER MARKET RUNS INTO MULTIPLE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER ANNUM, MUST SERVE AS A CONFIRMATION THAT CONVENTIONAL MOTOR OILS, LUBRICANTS AND GREASES DO NOT FUNCTION AND PERFORM AS THEY SHOULD.
SIR WILLIAM F. GRUSE, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE LUBRICATING OILS AND FUELS DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN STANDARD, TESTING AND MATERIALS INSTITUTE, HAS STATED THAT CONVENTIONAL MINERAL HYDRO CARBON OILS ARE NO LONGER CAPABLE OF PROVIDING OPTIMUM LUBRICATION UNDER SEVERE LOADS IN MODERN HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE DESIGNS AND INDUSTRIAL PLANTS. HE BELIEVED THAT CHEMICAL FORMULATED SUPPORT FOR OILS WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME A NECESSITY. THE RADICAL EVOLUTION IF THESE HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE DESIGNS, ESPECIALLY TURBO FUEL INJECTED MULTI-VALVE POWER UNITS, WITH IS PRECISION FIT COMPONENTS AND INCREASED POWER OUTPUT, HAS ALSO GREATLY INCREASED THE DEMAND FOR SUPERIOR LUBRICATION.
MEGA LUBE GROUP HAS DURING THE PAST YEARS DEVELOPED HIGH STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE LUBRICANTS THAT SUIT THE NEEDS OF DEVELOPERS OF ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS, INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS AS WELL AS OTHER USERS OF COMPETITIVE EQUIPMENT.
THE BEGINING
- LUBRICATING OILS CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS, THE BASE OIL AND THE ADDITIVES.
- CRUDE OIL IS PUMPED FROM THE EARTH VIA OIL RIGS AND THEN REFINED THROUGH A REFINERY PLANT. A REFINERY PLANT ACTS AS A BIG KETTLE, WHICH SEPARATES THE CRUDE OIL INTO THE DIFFERENT REFINED STAGES. IN SHORT, THIS IS WHERE THE VIRGIN BASE OILS ARE GATHERED FOR FURTHER BLENDING.
- “OEM’S” ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS APPROACH ADDITIVE COMPANIES IN ORDER TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP AN ADDITIVE PACKAGE THAT WILL PROVIDE THE CORRECT PROTECTION AND ANTI-FRICTION PROPERTIES FOR THE SPECIFIC ENGINE RANGE.
- THIS ADDITIVE PACKAGE IS THEN BLENDED ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PROCEDURES AND TEMPERATURES TO FORM “OEM” APPROVED LUBRICATING OILS. (MB, CUMMINS, VOLVO, VW, BMW, ETC.)
- WHEN THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS SENT TO THE RELEVANT “OEM” FOR TESTING, A FORMAL-APPROVAL MAY BE GRANTED TO THE OIL MANUFACTURER.
