Wear Resistance | High-performance engines, frequent short trips | Industry: ASTM D5182 (80h wear resistance) Our Base: ▲10% (88h) Our Advanced: ▲25% (100h) (reduces wear by 25% over 100h testing) | Extended engine lifespan, reduced maintenance costs | Advanced formula increases cost by ~20% |
Viscosity Grade (SAE 0W-20) | Cold climates, turbocharged engines | Industry: SAE 5W-30 (15°C cranking viscosity) Our Base: 0W-20 (2,600 mPa·s @ -30°C) Our Advanced: ▲15% lower pour point (-40°C) | Better cold flow improves fuel efficiency (tested in -40°C) | May not suit older engines designed for thicker oils |
Environmental Impact | Corporate sustainability programs | Industry: Non-carbon-neutral (avg. 5kg CO₂/L) Our Base: ▲20% reduction (4kg CO₂/L) Our Advanced: Carbon Neutral (ISO 14064) | Aligns with green initiatives, tax incentives | Higher production costs passed to consumers |
Base Oil Quality (PurePlus) | High-tech engines with tight tolerances | Industry: Group II (90% purity) Our Base: Group III (95% purity) Our Advanced: ▲PurePlus (ISO 10780: 99.9% purity) | Reduced sludge formation, extended oil life (verified via ISO 10780) | Advanced base oils require specialized refining (increases production time) |
Compatibility (Dexos 1/SP) | GM vehicles, modern engines | Industry: Non-compliant with Dexos 1 Our Base: Meets Dexos 1 Our Advanced: ▲Exceeds SP (Shell’s latest engine protection standard) | Wider vehicle compatibility, better for newer engines | Limited availability in non-Shell brands |
Packaging (4L Container) | Fleet maintenance, bulk users | Industry: 1L bottles (plastic #2) Our Base: 4L (plastic #5) Our Advanced: ▲Reinforced 4L (plastic #5 + UV-resistant coating) | Cost-effective bulk purchase, durable storage (UV-resistant coating tested) | Larger size may require dedicated storage space |
