Japanese motor oils for engines are three leaders in the Russian market

Hi all! I will say this, oil is the main thing in the engine! This is not my first car, and I can tell you from my own experience that saving on oil is a sin! ) The car is like a living person, you feed it poorly, it doesn’t drive well... If you fill in any “shoe polish” you will have a bunch of hemorrhoids! Having scoured many thematic forums on Koreans and regular discussions of e-liquids on the oil-club.ru forum, I still have all the dots for myself... There are a bunch of opinions and a bunch of articles on the type and viscosity of the oil, I can only tell you what conclusions I made...

For V6 class engines 2.7L (G6EA), 3.3L (G6DB), 3.8L (G6DA) According to the Korean service manual (who knows what it is, he will understand) it is recommended to pour oils of 5W viscosity into engines ALL YEAR ROUND (from -35 to +40) -20, if there is no such thing, then 5W-30, class not lower than API SL or ILSAC GF-3. That is, all modern API SN and ILSAC GF-5 class oils can be poured without bothering!

The most important points that I would like to note: 1. Do not be afraid of 5W-20 oils - they can and should be poured into these engines. All year round. 2. 5W-30 is also a good choice for filling. 3. A reasonable oil change interval is 5 - 8 thousand! Because of our endless traffic jams and warming up in winter! I have 90% city! If you drive on the highway, you can do more! 4. The most “powerful” ACEA A1 A5 oils and/or PAO (GTL) oils with esters, with approvals ACEA A5+Ford WSS-M2C-913-C or ACEA A3 MB229.3/229.5 or ACEA C3 MB 229.31/229.51

But what is better to choose, and not to overpay is another question... For myself, I made a choice based on my experience and the experience of specialists and oil analysis, and I want to voice it... I will only talk about synthetics... API class SNSM, A5B5, which is what they are are persistent, take a long time to die and have good cleaning abilities.

And so here is a complete list of oils recommended for use in Korean engines... All oils are decent, they differ only in price and additive package.

Production technology

When making products, most lubricant manufacturers add additives made by oil refining companies to base oils. Manufacturers of Korean motor oils are modernizing production technology, introducing innovative developments and obtaining a high-quality product at significantly lower capital costs than competing companies.

Korean base oils made using deep catalytic hydrocracking technology; they are purchased by many name-brand motor fluid companies. This base is distinguished by a high viscosity index, which allows the use of motor oil at very high and low temperatures.

Korean motor oils for engines of leading companies have received API certificates for compliance with international quality standards. The canisters of these liquids contain special markings and the corresponding approvals are applied.

Component of each recipe

If you think that Korea is too far from your personal car, you can mention: residents of Belarus can meet the SK brand as a manufacturer of RAM strips in popular laptops; in Minsk there is an office of SK hynix - an engineering company that produces semiconductor memory, firmware and built-in BY. The same ZIC oils are among the top 10 most popular foreign oils in the Republic of Belarus and are supplied directly from Korea. It is worth emphasizing: ZIC is used during the first filling in engines of Renault, General Motors, Hyundai, Kia and Nissan. Tesla, by the way, uses transmission oil for the wheel gearbox. Volkswagen has become the corporation's new partner, and Mercedes recently won the tender. Apparently, local car brands name the same ZIC as the recommended oil.

What we are used to pouring into the engine, or simply “product”. It is made by mixing base oil with additives. The latter are responsible for various characteristics (for example, viscosity and corrosion resistance). The package of these additives is the secret recipe of each brand. But the product is based on the base oil. Most manufacturers, even world-famous ones, work as blenders - at their factories they mix the “base” with additives. And the Koreans supply the basis for the leaders of the oil business. There are significantly fewer direct manufacturers. If only because this requires access to oil and its products. To find out how the “base” is prepared, we went to the Republic of Korea, the homeland of the SK corporation.

To appreciate the scale, it is enough to say that everything mentioned in this text constitutes only a small part of the corporation's profits. Korean SK is involved in telecommunications, Internet business, semiconductors, energy projects, innovative developments (for example, looking for an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for electric cars) and, of course, lubricants.

Famous brands

The abbreviation for Korean-made motor fluids ZIC means 21st century.
These mixtures are produced by the S-Kay corporation, which acquired advanced oil refining technologies from famous American companies. When installing oil refining equipment, the Koreans made their own adjustments to the technology, which allowed them to obtain a basic foundation of significantly better quality than that of the Americans. S-Key accepts orders for the purchase of basic foundations from well-known name companies two years in advance. Since 1995, Korea began producing motor oils of its own ZIC brand. These lubricants have proven themselves in the automotive market, ranking first in most independent studies and outperforming their competitors. Advantages of ZIC:

• good washing, anti-wear, anti-corrosion properties;
• low waste consumption;
• high environmental performance (does not affect the environment);
• wide range of applications, used in Korean, Japanese, American cars;
• low cost.

The brand has no obvious shortcomings.

Lubricants called KIXX are manufactured by the world leader in the oils and lubricants market - GS Caltex. KIXX mixtures have proven themselves well in the domestic market; they contain synthetic base components used in racing technologies. Advantages of this motor oil:

• high viscosity index;
• wide operating temperature range;
• stability of the structure at different temperature conditions;
• no aggressive effect on rubber seals and spraying;
• high anti-wear, washing, anti-corrosion properties;
• affordable price.

Choosing the right Kixx oil

First of all, you need to study the specifics of the product, for example, what characteristics it corresponds to

Pay attention to the SAE class, standards, viscosity, alkali content, at what temperature the liquid will thicken, what ash content it has

• The main parameter is viscosity. Depending on the climate and time of year, the oil must have a certain fluidity. If it is too thick, the engine will not be able to start; if it is too thin, it will not provide a sufficient lubricating effect, and the engine will experience oil starvation, which is detrimental to it. The viscosity is indicated by the first number before the SAE class, the second shows the temperature regime at which the oil can operate: if the engine is used in cold weather, the indicator should be low. The product will be liquid, which will help you start the engine easily.
• API is a standard that explains what types of engines the oil is suitable for. It can be a gasoline or diesel unit, worn out or new.
• The base number plays a big role. The larger it is, the more effectively the engine is cleaned of carbon deposits and fights the formation of rust.
• High-quality products should not contain flammable compounds. The worse a substance burns, the longer it can be used and the less residue it leaves.

Conclusion: the use of branded Korean oils helps to increase the service life of the engine, makes it easier to start, removes contaminants and ensures an adequate supply of lubricant to all components.

Production and use of Korean oils

Let's start with the fact that automobile oils from Korea are distinguished by high-quality base oils, as they are produced using modern technology combined with the use of a number of innovative solutions. It is based on deep catalytic hydrocracking, which allows the oil base to obtain a high viscosity index for use at low and high temperatures.

However, it is worth adding that for cars from Korea, it is separately recommended to use Korean-made oils in the engine, gearbox, power steering, etc. The reason is quite obvious - car manufacturers from this country, even at the development stage of a particular unit, take their own lubricant as a basis, that is, one that is produced in South Korea.

It turns out that the use of Korean oil in this case is guaranteed to preserve the serviceability of the engine or gearbox throughout its entire service life (subject to strict compliance with the necessary operating and maintenance conditions).

How to use it correctly

Changing the oil in the Haldex coupling on a Tiguan

This cleanser is very easy to use. There is no need to wet your hands and face first; the skin should be dry. Squeeze a small amount of product onto dry palms and apply to facial skin with massaging movements. We massage it for thirty seconds, and then, after wetting our hands with warm water, we continue massaging for another twenty seconds. At this time, the hydrophilic oil changes its consistency and becomes like a delicate makeup remover milk.

At the end of the procedure, rinse everything off with warm water. This oil is very easily washed off the skin, and the face becomes clean. By the way, if there is a lot of makeup on your face, then the washing process may take five minutes. Gently massage your face without pressing on the skin or stretching it until all particles of cosmetics have dissolved.

Which brands of motor oils from Korea are worth paying attention to?

Today you can find various brands of oils on the shelves. At the same time, among the many products, the most common, popular and sought-after Korean-made solutions should be highlighted. These are considered to be:

• ZIC engine oil;
• Kixx oil;
• Hyundai oil;
• Yokki lubricant;

Zik oil is manufactured by SK Corp., which is one of the largest producers of fuels and lubricants among Asian companies. The manufacturer actively uses modern HC synthesis technologies (hydrocracking), which makes it possible to obtain lubricants with high viscosity values. ZIC oils are universal, well suited for winter use (they greatly facilitate cold starts), and also reliably protect the engine and other components after warming up due to the stability of the oil film.

• Korean Kixx motor oil is also one of the well-known Korean brands and is in demand. The manufacturer is GS Caltex. It is noteworthy that these oils use components that are part of special lubricating fluids for internal combustion engines and racing car transmissions. It should also be noted that this brand is actively purchased by auto giants Hyundai, Kia Volvo, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages of Korean oils

The main advantage of lubricants from Korea compared to competitors on the market is that such products are quite versatile, and their scope of application is expanded. Moreover, the oils have all the necessary certificates and meet international standards. Thanks to this, Korean oil can be used in all engines, as well as mechanical, robotic and automatic transmissions, and other components and assemblies.

You can choose either pure synthetics or semi-synthetics, or more affordable mineral oil. At the same time, a reduced amount of phosphorus and sulfur, as well as a reduction in the total amount of additives used due to a high-quality base oil base, makes it possible to increase the service life of the internal combustion engine, reduce carbon formation, extend the service life of the transmission, etc.

Naturally, given the affordable price, demand quickly increased, as a result, unscrupulous businessmen began to actively buy empty containers. After some time, car markets and small points of sale of motor oils quickly became filled with non-original products of dubious quality, which were sold in small quantities at bargain prices or at slightly reduced prices compared to the original.

Let's sum it up

As you can see, Korean engine oil and other components can be used not only for cars that are produced exclusively in South Korea (some GM Chevrolet, Hyundai and Kia models). Such products are also well suited for models from other manufacturers from Europe, Japan or the USA.

At the same time, experts and ordinary car enthusiasts note the quite acceptable cost of such products. The only point is that there are a large number of counterfeits of Korean oils on the market, which is due to their great popularity. Note that most often in the CIS the most famous brand ZIC is counterfeited; counterfeits are also found among Kixx oils, etc. For this reason, it is recommended to buy Korean oils only from official dealers or authorized retail outlets. By the way, the same is true for other brands and brands.

Lubricant selection

The selection of the optimal lubricant must be taken with full responsibility.

The type of motor oil and the timeliness of its replacement determine how stable your car will function, as well as the following characteristics:

• car dynamics;
• engine wear;
• fuel consumption;
• frequency of mandatory maintenance.

These indicators need to be taken into account when buying motor oil. For certain cars, the choice is made easier by vehicle manufacturer approvals. Sometimes all you need to do is read what is written in the owner's manual.

Companies that produce oil usually produce different types. The most important parameter is the viscosity index. It determines the seasonality of use and operating temperatures.

The API specification indicates the quality of the petroleum product:

• S – for gasoline engines;
• C – for diesel engines (including turbodiesel internal combustion engines).

The symbol following S/C indicates which group the oil fluid belongs to. The further it is in the English alphabet, the higher the characteristics of the product. For example, SN performs better than SM.
