ADNOC Distribution, a fuel and convenience retailer in the UAE, has launched a new range of lubricants offering greater fuel efficiency for hybrid vehicles
ADNOC VOYAGER’s new range of vehicle engine oils is the UAE’s first to meet the needs of the latest engine technologies and to be certified by the American Petroleum Institute.
The launch of ADNOC Distribution’s latest VOYAGER range follows three new oil standards set by the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). The new standards – ILSAC GF-6A, GF-6B and API SP – were introduced by the API on 1 May 2020 and were designed for engines with cleaner emissions and better fuel efficiency, and the new VOYAGER range is among the first to meet these new international standards globally.
VOYAGER Star Plus HB, designed specifically for hybrid vehicles, offers fuel savings and engine lubrication protection. Additionally, the advanced VOYAGER Star Plus Eco engine oil is fully compatible with vehicles manufactured since 2002, and can be used for a variety of automobiles, including American, Korean, Japanese and European manufactured.
The new lubricant is manufactured using ADNOC’s high quality Group III base oil, ADbase, which is produced by ADNOC Refining using ADNOC’s high paraffinic crude oil at its Ruwais refinery in the UAE. ADbase’s High Viscosity Index (VI) makes it an ideal lubricant component, ensuring high-performance engine efficiency and fuel economy, while meeting ever-stringent environmental regulations.
ADNOC Distribution’s acting CEO Ahmed Al Shamsi said, “The new range meets the needs of the latest engine technologies to enable better fuel efficiency, extend an engine’s lifespan and create cost savings for our customers. Our lubricants bring together quality from their very base to the expert technology used to create specific solutions that, together with regular lube change, maintain the efficiency of hybrid engines.”
ADNOC VOYAGER engine oils are available to consumers and meet the requirements of commercial fleet operators as well as the construction, manufacturing, marine and power generation sectors. The offering comprises automotive and marine engine lubricants, automotive gear and transmission fluids, and industrial lubricants and greases.
The VOYAGER lubricants are currently available at ADNOC Distribution stations and are exported to distributors across the GCC, Africa and in Asia.
