Synthetic oils: ours or naked? Motor oil "LUKOIL" as an alternative to imported oil Location: Xenum X1 Ester Hybrid Synthetic, Belgium

Now in the market motor oils Many quality products for sale. Inexperienced buyer such big choice Maybe even annoying. Nevertheless, the quality product will not only good feedback Buyers, but also passed on the "Hurray" tests from specialists. Precisely such characteristics possesses new ruler Oils Next you will find information on the types of genesis of Genesis, their properties and product test results.

Series Oils "Lukoil Genesis"

Motor oil market in Russia is confidently filled with high-quality domestic products. Although many motorists still do not trust Russian oils, considering them outdated and low-quality. And in vain, since many of them have already been equal to imported according to characteristics and composition. At the same time, the price of them is significantly lower, and the fakes are not as often as in the case of promoted Western brands. The Russian company LUKOIL, which is the largest suppliers of petroleum products, also released its lubricative line.

Premium engine oils "Genesis" were created as a competitive product not only for domestic, but also for imported cars. Lubricants have the most authoritative tolerances: API and ACEA. Leading world manufacturers (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, GM) recommend using "Genesis" oils in their machines. Their quality is on the highest levelAnd the price remains equal to the products of the average price segment. At the moment, "Genesis" successfully competes with the most famous manufacturers, conquering more and more fans.

Varieties of oils series "Genesis"

A wide range of products of the genesis of the genesis is designed for the most different types engines. Absolutely all lubricants have high protective properties and perfectly selected additives. You can choose the oil you need, if you read more about each of the oils "Lukoil Genesis". Customer reviews confirm that there is a suitable "genesis" for any car.

Composition and additive

The entire line of premium oils "Lukoil Genesis" has similar composition. Such popularity they have become undoubtedly due to their affordable prices and an excellent set of additives. The synthetic base of all line products together with polyalphaole basic oils and additives gave the result, many times superior all previous products "LUKOIL". The whole line "Genesis" can be used in winter and summer due to universal viscosity of oils.

The developed formula provides good lubricability, the ability to "cold start", protection against wear and detergent oil properties. Molybdenum with boron helps to adjust the frictional properties. And adding to the composition of zinc, phosphorus and sodium reduces engine wear.

Characteristics of oil "Lukoil Genesis"

There are some properties to pay attention to the purchase of new genesis "Genesis":

Excellent characteristics of oil for quite a short time made it one of the highest quality on the market. At the same time, the price of oil "Lukoil Genesis" is much less imported analogs with the same characteristics.

Tests of synthetic oils "Genesis"

Those motorists who are only going to buy products "LUKOIL", surely interesting technical experiences With these oils. Tests of specialists prove that the detergent is effectively cleans the engine, while not leaving the car on it. The exhaust engine oil "Lukoil Genesis" can not boast of cleanliness, but it looks quite decent, especially compared to other domestic lubricants. As for the frost-resistant oils of 5W-30 and 5W-40, then it is above all praise. Here Lukoil overtook even many imported manufacturers. For Russia, in which the cold season is stretched to 7-8 months, this quality is especially relevant.

Pros and cons

Pluses of the new oil "Lukoil Genesis":

Minuses of motor oil:

• The price of oil "Lukoil Genesis" is significantly different from other domestic lubricants in the big face. For 4 liter canine, the manufacturer asks from 1300 to 1500 rubles, while the price of a similar capacity of less well-known manufacturers is 800-1000 rubles.
• Although the genesis of Genesis is designed for the most popular brands of cars, before buying it is better to consult with a specialist: there were cases when due to the inconsistency of the engine oil and the engine dramatically deteriorated the work of the latter.

Proper use of engine oil

Motor oil replacement frequency depends on many factors:

• Operating conditions.
• The service life of the car.
• Driving mode.
• The composition and characteristics of the oil.

Among the line there is only one product with an elongated replacement interval: Genesis Claritech. The remaining lubricants are recommended to change 5-7 thousand kilometers. According to the reviews of the oil "Lukoil Genesis" his timely replacement Improves driving performance cars.

After changing the oil, drivers mark the increased power of the car and reduce noise from the motor. The car is easier to gain speed and start even into severe frosts.

Oil "Lukoil Genesis": reviews

The high quality of the new oil is evidenced by the number positive feedback: 80% of buyers were satisfied with their choice. Drivers note that the engine stopped "pulling" and in general it began to work much quieter and softer. There is no oil consumption, so if after 2-3 thousand runs you decide to check the lubrication level in the engine, it will remain the same as at the beginning. Especially pleased with the economical fuel consumption and detergents of "Genesis". More and more motorists begin to move with imported analogues on this oil. The benefit is obvious: for the lower cost you get the same characteristics. Make the drivers only on high cost Product, but with this fact you can argue. API and ACEA tolerances made from high-quality base oils and additives cannot cost too cheap.

In addition to the obvious advantages for the car, it can be noted and indirect: for example, "LUKOIL MEEZIS" is very difficult to fake, so you are unlikely to come together to falsification. Distinguish original product can be in several signs:

• The label is fused into the surface of the canister. To tear it with bare hands is very difficult.
• Double Cover Case made specifically for 100% product protection.
• The foil on the neck eliminates the spilling of the oil.
• Thermo marking with an individual canister number (located under the barcode).
• Markings on the bottom, which indicate the characteristics of the goods.

RESULTS

Numerous certificates and approval, oil characteristics "LUKOIL Genesis", customer reviews and product popularity indicate its high quality. No domestic oil before it received such prestigious tolerances. Lukoil Genesis oil can be called first in history domestic production The product that is not inferior to foreign manufacturers.

Ten years ago, Russian synthetics were simply not in nature. Moreover, the use of any domestic oil silently equated with miserism and short-sightedness. And now?

A year ago SP conducted an examination semi-synthetic oils 10W-40 ( SP, 2010, № 3, 4 ). Then domestic oils almost did not lose the German nor Korean, but something was even better. Now we decided to estimate clean synthetics - eight samples.

On the classification of modern synthetics - in Our Help (at the end of the article). As usual, all oils are insulating, coding samples. Then, they operated in identical conditions for 10 hours in the same engine at the booth of an accredited laboratory - this shooter is necessary to output oil parameters onto a working station. Only then there is a full-scale motor test cycle. Then, in another accredited laboratory, the main physicochemical parameters (FLCHP) of the samples measured and in conclusion five awards were distributed - in the nominations "economy", "Power", "Extreme Protection", "Ecology", "Start". And amounted to the final "tabel about ranks."

How did you choose the participants? From the Russian side, the range of complete synthetics is still modest: "LUKOIL-LUX" (novelty) fell into the test, as well as well-known TNK-Magnum and Rosneft-Premium. They accounted for a less common hydrocracking "Sintoil-ultra" and "Totek-Astra Robot" based on polyalphaolefins (PJSC). It is curious that all these oils of different quality groups: with SM from LUKOIL and Rosneft adjointed SL from TNK and SJ in Sintoil-Ultra. By the way, the latter circumstance actually deprived the Obninsky oil chance on an equal struggle with the products of more modern groups, and therefore it was decided to test it outside the contest.

With imports harder: the choice is too large. We did not take the products of the most famous brands and preferred less promoted. In addition, I wanted to expand the range of quality groups by API to equalize the original conditions for our and naughty. Finally, curiosity suggested to take oils built on different bases. The German MANNOL EXTREME (API SL / CF) presented a group of products on the hydrosintic basis; synthetic oils - Japanese ENEOS Gran-Touring (API SM), and for the most modern group - Ester oils - answered Belgian Xenum X1 (API SM / CF).

Efficiency and power

Sheets protocol. We were judged by the amount of fuel spent on the standard test cycle. Best result showed the most advanced oil on an ester basis - xenum x1. In relation to the reference mineral it saved almost 9% of fuel - it is a lot! But the product is under such characteristics and was created, and the energy-saving effect is declared in the description. The more nonest thing that LUKOIL-Luxe and TNK-Magnum lagged behind the leader quite a bit, reducing fuel consumption by 8 and 7%, respectively.

The best power was the oil of the MANNOL EXTREME. With it, the engine gave 3% more "horses" than on the standard. From our to him, the LUKOIL-Luxe appeared to him.

Why did it happen? And because for maximum efficiency, the high-temperature viscosity of the oil should be not large or small, but optimal. But to achieve maximum power, on the contrary, large. We look at the table - everything is all: on this parameter LUKOIL and MANNOL are leading.

Ecology

In the "green" nomination, the best product was chosen to the toxicity of the exhaust gases and the content of sulfur and phosphorus in oil. As is known, sulfur compounds, as well as phosphorus, quickly kill catalysts. Therefore, automakers require that the sulfur content in oil does not exceed 0.2%, and phosphorus is 0.08%. These figures, depending on the tolerance of the car manufacturer, can change a little, but their order is just such.

We look ... In the required 0.2% sulfur, no oil was not satisfied. But this is not a crime: during the time of operation in the engine of oil, it was quite "to absorb" additional hundreds of percent russian fuelwhich is no small amount of sulfur. Closer to K. required level Japanese Eneos Gran-Touring oil approached, near the Belgian Xenum X1. Domestic sulfur has almost twice as much. It is especially rich in her hydrosintic oils: from the Russian - "Sintoil-Ultra", from imported - Mannol Extreme. This is quite explained: the production technology of such oils is already becoming old.

Phosphorus in imported oils is also less: they are clearer oriented to the environment. But with toxicity, everything is not so simple. It is clear that any oil does not greatly affect the content of carbon oxides CO and nitrogen NOX, which you can not say about the composition of the fuel and air mixture and the peculiarities of the combustion process. But part of the "Tse-Ash" in the composition of the exhaust depends precisely from the combing oil in the cylinder - this indicator affects the degree of volatility of the oil itself and the thickness of the oil film left in the cylinder piston ringsWhen the piston goes down on the expansion tact. An indirect wandering rate is the flash point: the higher the above, the less volatile components in the oil and it burns slower. And the thickness of the film under rings, with other things being equal, determines the viscosity when high temperatures.

On the outbreak temperature, two oils are leading - our Totok-Astra Robot and Belgian Xenum X1 - above 245 ° C with a sufficiently moderate high-temperature viscosity. And in general, the first place for environmental friendliness receives Xenum X1 - there are few sulfur with phosphorus in it. The Japanese oil Eneos Gran-Touring was completely slightly slightly. Among the domestic leading "Totok-Astra Robot".

Extreme defense

Its effectiveness was determined by several positions. Main - Test results on a four-sick friction machine: We simulate the limit loads of the friction assembly and track the reaction to the oil film. In addition, we took into account the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures. After all, to prevent emergency work of the friction assembly, it is necessary to create an oil layer in it with the necessary thickness, and then the said parameter plays a decisive role.

How it seems to us, higher tribological parameters domestic oils Explained ... their worst ecology! After all, sulfur and phosphorus are natural antisaded additives: what they are more, the better the friction knot is protected. And for the Western manufacturer, the service life is not as important as ecology.

In general, in this nomination our ahead! The prize receives Rosneft-Premium, second place at Lukoil-Suite. And bronze will share our dolteels and mannol.

Cold launch

This nomination took into account the magnitude of the friction force in the real motor on the launchers, the conditional temperature of the turnover crankshaft And the temperature of the frosting of the engine oil. As a result, the first prize went japanese Oil Eneos Gran-Touring, Rosneft-Premium and Lukoil-Luxe are located next to him.

Down with bias!

The results of domestic synthetic and imported are not so much different: LUKOIL was generally on the pedestal, and fourth place our fourth place! And the fifth, by the way, too. Of course, a short test cycle cannot give answers to all questions - this conclusion is rather preliminary and subject to clarification during resource testing.

In the general table of ranks again confirmed repeatedly expressed SP, approval about the importance of the quality group on the API and the conversion of oil to the modern requirements of automotive companies. Leaders are equal to the requirements of the API SM / CF, and this is still the highest quality group. The real advantages of synthetic in front of the semi-synthetic, and in all nominations, have been revealed.

But another thing is: conquering "Oscars" in some nominations, the same oil can give the worst result according to other parameters (by the way, it happened before). For example, the oil of the MANNOL EXTREME, which took the first prize for the power of the motor, quite predictably slit for economy and ecology. Miracles does not happen: butter, like all living things, requires a balance and selection for a specific task, depending on what the consumer needs.

In general, the results would be assessed as predictable. In leaders - Ester oils and advanced full synthetics based on PJSC, but with the addition of disulfide molybdenum, in outsider - hydrocracking products. The first four places occupied the oils of the SM group, the latter was the representative of SJ. That before the choice between ours and wearents, then we handle: produce good oils In Russia are able! And it's great.

Outcome

As points argued

Used our traditional technique. First, on the basis of the analysis of the entire complex of received information, oil was placed in places in each of the nominations. What and why at the same time took into account, told in the article. But a part of the minor data, which also took into account, remained in the protocols due to the lack of place in the journal.

Further exposed intermediate ratings: for the first place, as usual, 5 points, for the last 1 point, the rest were calculated in proportion to the results obtained. Weighted coefficients for all five nominations were taken equal. Those who wish can, of course, recalculate the results with other weight coefficients - according to their own criteria. The result is simple: who more points scored, the above in the overall ranking. Prices of oils in the assessment did not participate, but they are given in the comments.

Our reference: what kind of synthetics

Synthetic - oil, built on the basis of the basic, obtained by chemical synthesis of oil refining products. These base oils, according to the current aPI classificationare divided into a number of major groups.

Group III - basic oils with a high viscosity index obtained using catalytic hydrocracking technology (NS-technology). In essence, this mineral oilswhose properties are close to synthetic. However, some firms are called them either semi-synthetic, or synthetic or hydrosintic.

Group IV - Synthetic base oils based on PJSC removed mainly from ethylene gases and butylene. Such oils possess predictable properties, stable, have an optimal viscosity characteristic, low volatility. They are called full synthetic (Full Synthetic), they today occupy the bulk of the synthetic market.

Group V. - base oils that are not included in previous groups; In particular, vegetable-based oils, including the basis of estrices. Estheries - esters, carboxylic acid neutralization products with alcohols. Raw materials are not oil, but vegetable oils are coconut, rapeseed or other such oils are more stable, biologically decomposes, etc. The main drawback is a high price.

Mikhail Kolodochkin, Associate Professor, Department of DVS SPbGU Alexander Shabanov

Imported oils have better "ecology", and our own protective properties.

Modern oils On the basis of estants and polyalphaolefins, though more expensive, but in all parameters it is better than hydrocracking.

In this article, I will state what considerations I was guided when it was transformed from engine oils foreign production on motor oils "LUKOIL". Specifications, ways to save oils without loss of quality, impressions, oil order codes, and so on. In the article you will not find theoretical calculations, laboratory tests, pseudo-contaminated experiments. The article wrote, based on his personal experience and knowledge received from the Internet and from the leadership to the car.

Earlier, I, like many, had prejudice against engines for engines produced in Russia. In all its cars, except for old carburetor "Zhiguli", I tried to pour imported oils. However, encountered in practice with a motor having a rather big oil consumption, first thought about the search for a cheaper alternative to various "Mobil 1", "Castrol", "Shell" and other. Well-known events in the Crimea and the subsequent currency leap even more strengthened this wish.
I want to immediately make a reservation that it will only be about the last fully synthetic products of LUKOIL class SN / CF and SL / CF, which I used. This is the oils of the Luxury family and "Genesis". The semi-synthetic "Lux" from LUKOIL class SL / CF, according to the guide to the car, I could use, but was afraid because this semi-synthetic does not have the approval of the manufacturer of my car.
What such engine oil is known to everyone. But how it is manufactured already far from everyone knows. Having studied several Internet sources, I learned that the engine oil is manufactured according to the following technology. Basic industrial oil is taken, in which the necessary additives are added, after which it all is mixed. Basic oil is manufactured in strict technology. This oil can go to different goals. Depending on the purpose, various additive packages are used. Additives make only 4 plants in the world. All oil manufacturers buy additives from these plants. Including "Lukoil".
Skeptics will return that in Russia at the stage of manufacturing base oil, you can allow a deviation from technology to which I will answer that the process of manufacturing oils is automated, and deviations if there is, then within the admission. In other words, to make poor quality basic oilYou need to turn off the robot, and, while no one sees, pour sand bag, metal chips and so on into the oil. Then it will be necessary to temporarily deal with the OTB, and not only on this site, but also on the subsequent, where specialized oils are manufactured.
As you can see, the mission is not easy, and without a universal conspiracy cannot do. But there is a problem here - I do not believe in the universal conspiracy. Whoever believes - can further read about participation in the conspiracy of leading autocontracens. Who will not convince this, may not waste their time on this article. Only due to such people alive, an old Russian tradition pour into the old VAZ-2109, 2114 and the ilk with them are modern, expensive, having clearly redundant characteristics, oils, costing up to 5% of the car cost.
I will explain why I pointed on this attention. Practically in any garage cooperative, auto repair, auto shop there are people who believe that LUKOIL can make oils only for the old Soviet "Zhiguli". They are not interested in logic calculations and marking on the canisters. Any statement about the applicability of such oils in modern engines With heat is steaming with stories with stories about the consequences of the use of this oil. No specifics at the same time, as a rule, does not sound. In 99%, someone from the acquaintances poured something from Lukoil and then fell on costly repairs. Such "specialists" usually can not even call which oil used.
However, normal performance features These oils are confirmed by my personal experience Operating (T-T), reviews for profile forums, as well as laboratory studies including major car manufacturers. For myself, I decided to attribute fans of terrible stories to the sect "LUKOIL non-blisters." And I treat them as well as any mentally unhealthy people. The main thing is not to argue and do not try to convince anything ...
Personally, I personally use LUKOIL oils recent generations SN / CF class also identified disadvantages.
The first drawback is the caustic of oil on the old engine. "Mobil 1" also lit up, but not so badly stink.
The second drawback - LUKOIL on the yield at low temperatures is inferior to its imported analogues. The difference became noticeable at temperatures from -25 and below.
Now about the advantages. The greatest advantage of "LUKOIL" before analogues is the price. Agree that at the price of the same "Motul" in the area of \u200b\u200b3,000 rubles, the cost of "LUKOIL - GENESIS" in the region of 1,600 rubles looks more than attractive. Moreover, knowing small sheathing marketing, you can buy it cheaper by about 30% of the retail price. And here "Lukoil", IMHO, finally loses its competitors. How to buy "LUKOIL" is cheaper, described below.
The second advantage is the protection of "LUKOIL" from the fake. Kanister from LUKOIL, has an individual shape and several degrees of protection. Such as a rubber plug and compiled, and not glued, label. In addition, due to objective economic reasons, fake oil imported producers is much more profitable.
The third benefits of LUKOIL oils are their availability. They are sold virtually any gas station or in any automata.
If you try to summarize personal practice, I want to indicate that along with Lukoil tried the most various oils. No tangible difference, except for the amount on the price tag, I, as a user, did not notice.
And now, in continuation of the topic about compliance with modern requirements, read the labeling on the canister of LUKOAL synthetics. For example, take "LUKOIL - GENESIS ARMORTECH 5W-40" (order code 1539424):

Oil has approval:
1.API SN - Standard of the American Oil Institute for Gasoline Engines since 2010 release.
2.MB-Approval 229.5 - Admission to use in Mersedes-Benz engines since 2002 release.
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolisten/229.5_en.html.
3. VW 502 00/505 00 - Tolerance 502 from "Volkswagen" means that the oil is allowed to use with an interservice interval of 20 thousand km. 505 - tolerance for use in diesel engines.
4. Renault Rn 0700/0710 - Admission to use in modern Renault cars.
5. BMW LL-01 - BMW tolerance for oils with an extended service life.
6. Approval of AvtoVAZ OJSC.
Oil complies with the requirements:
1.API CF - Standard American Oil Institute for diesel engines.
2.Acea A3 / B4, A3 / B3 - Standard Association of European Automakers for engines with increased oil replacement intervals.
3.Fiat 9.55535-N2, 9.55535-Z2 - Standard of the Italian automaker for engines with increased oil replacement intervals.
4. Opel GM-LL-B-025 - standard "GM" and "Opel" for diesel engines
5. PSA B71 2296 - the highest standard for motor oils of the corporation "Peugeot - Citroen".
In the "Genesis" line, in addition to those mentioned, 4 more types of oil are represented:

— Genesis Armortech A5B5 5W-30 (1538770)focused on cars Ford. and Renault;
— Genesis CLARITECH 5W-30 (1539437)focused on diesel engines most famous marks, as well as on gasoline engines GM and OPEL;
— Genesis Polartech 0W-40 (1539401)designed to work in low-temperature conditions;
— Genesis Glidetech 5W-30 (1539486)designed to more for Japanese cars.
These oils have small differences in the characteristics between each other. And accordingly, some of them have tolerances and approval, which are not from others. I do not see sense to describe each here. Interested can engage in the study of the characteristics on their own. It is curious that there are oils that have tolerances of such premium stamps as "Porsche" and "Jaguar". I want to remind you that in any case the choice of engine oil to a specific car should start with reading technical manual To the car.
If we take any modern popular oil from the famous foreign produced, for example, "Motul 8100 X-Clean Fe 5W30" or " Shell Helix. HX8 "or Mobil Super™ 3000 X1 Formula, Yes, almost any other oil, a set of approval and tolerances will be approximately similar. The difference between them, of course, will, but if this difference will notice this difference, which operates the usual city car, not fond of auto racing and is not going to use this oil in a prepared off-road monster? I think in 99 out of 100 cases the difference will not be noticeable.

In addition to the specified GENESIS line, LUKOIL continues to produce an old good synthetic "LUKOIL-Lux", which in its characteristics differs from "Genesis" quite a bit. The average difference between Lux and Genesis is 300 rubles for someone may be significant. And someone can and think "why pay more ...".
Now, as promised above, we will open the way to buy LUKOIL oils cheaper than at refueling and shops. The bottom line is that Lukoil is the official supplier of motor oils for several automakers. Among which "SsangYong", "Uzdaewoo", "UAZ" and others. For these manufacturers, LUKOIL produces its oil in OEM packaging. These packaging have a marking of an automaker. The fact that this oil is made on "Lukoil" is written in small letters at the bottom of the label. In OEM packaging, the oil is much cheaper than the same oil in the corporate packaging. OEM packaging is best acquired through online stores.
Those who want cheaper to purchase the "Genesis" family, should pay attention to OEM oil "SsangYong":

—"SsangYong Motor Oil SAE 5W-40" (LLK05W40004) for 1200 rubles. This is the same "LUKOIL - GENESIS ARMORTECH 5W-40", sold for 1,600 rubles.
—"SSANGYONG MOTOR OIL SAE 5W-30" (LLK05W30004) for 1200 rubles. It is "LUKOIL - GENESIS CLARITECH 5W-30" for 1,600 rubles.
For "Uzdaewoo" for 850 rubles is offered OEM Oil "UZAUTOOIL PREMIUM 5W-40" (224282). This is the same "LUKOIL-Lux" SN / CF, sold at gas stations for 1,300 rubles.
"UZAUTOOIL PREMIUM 5W-30" (224360) For 800 rubles, this "LUKOIL-Lux" SL / CF for 950 rubles.


A similar picture on OEM oils "UAZ". Only oil in this case is called "UAZOIL -PREMIUM". Order code - 000101004054002 For SN, 000101004054001 For SL.

Thanks to those who mastered the text to the end. I hope the article was useful.
