Multipolar POLARTECH

Motor oil LUKOIL GENESIS POLARTECH 0W40 is a modern, high-quality synthetic that provides engine protection over a wide temperature range and under any – even the most extreme and severe – operating conditions. Universal, powerful, high-quality and stable - what is needed for use in the sometimes difficult Russian realities - with our frosts and cities dotted with traffic lights and with countless traffic jams...

Product Description

High-quality synthetics LUKOIL GENESIS POLARTECH 0W-40 are produced on a modern basis with a package of unique cleaning additives using TermoStars technology. It belongs to the so-called PAO synthetics, that is, in its composition an important role is given to polyalphaolefins, which make up the oil base.

The oil has excellent low-temperature characteristics. Excellently lubricates rubbing engine parts, creating a uniform, durable oil layer on them. Significantly reduces the risk of corrosion and various sludge deposits inside the motor. Resistant to high temperatures and oxidation.

Due to its high detergent and dispersing abilities, it not only perfectly cleans the engine from soot and deposits, but also retains soot particles within itself throughout the entire replacement interval, without thickening, without changing its properties and preventing valves and filters from clogging.

The stability of its viscosity and pressure, high speed of pumping and distribution, injection of standard pressure, ensure protection and lubrication of the engine in the very first moments after starting. And these qualities, combined with low-temperature resistance, ensure easy starting of a cold engine in cold weather - and protection from the first seconds of operation.

Oils from the Genesis line are especially well adapted to driving conditions in urban environments. Driving in the city is dangerous because, thanks to frequent traffic jams, numerous intersections and traffic lights, the car has to regularly stop in order to start again after a few seconds. This puts a lot of wear on the engine. Lukoil lubricant minimizes such risks.

Numerous tests and tests confirm the high quality of the oil.

Who is suitable for Lukoil Lux 5w40 semi-synthetic motor oil?

Lukoil Lux 5w40 will perform well in naturally aspirated, unboosted gasoline and diesel engines. Although the manufacturer indicates that motor oil does not have a harmful effect on the car catalyst, we recommend that you refrain from using this oil in cars equipped with such systems.

To determine whether this motor oil is suitable for your car, it would be a good idea to use the online oil selection option on the manufacturer’s official website.

What does 0W40 stand for?

The oil is classified as all-season, judging by its viscosity class. The 0W40 marking is deciphered as follows. The letter W marks lubricants that can be used in both summer and winter. After all, this symbol comes from the English word winter, which is translated as winter. The number 0 is an index showing to what minus limit the oil can retain all its properties and viscosity, and indicates suitability up to minus 40. Well, the number 40 after the letter indicates the suitability of the product up to plus 40 degrees Celsius.

Many drivers claim that with this oil the car starts perfectly, and in comparison with similar types, it is able to maintain the quality of the engine for a long time and even at very low temperatures. In addition, all traces of soot and all kinds of deposits are practically absent.

If you are using this oil for the first time, especially if the vehicle has always operated only using inexpensive motor oil, then motorists recommend that you first wash off all the old lubricant.

Especially clean the engine. As soon as the car has driven up to about eight kilometers, the oil will have to be completely drained and refilled with clean oil.

How to spot a fake

Often negative reviews are due to the fact that they got a fake. To distinguish one from the other, the Lukoil company took the creation of packaging for its products very seriously. Here are its distinctive features:

1. a special lid that combines red rubber elements with steel-colored plastic;
2. matte steel-colored canister made of opaque three-layer plastic;
3. labels, using a special technology, fused into the plastic of the canister, as a result of which they cannot be peeled off or re-glued;
4. data about the batch, the date of bottling and the team involved in this, applied with a laser.

In addition, you need to ask the seller to show a certificate of conformity; anything without it is a fake. The packaging should also contain information about the manufacturer, the main properties and characteristics of the oil, article numbers, hotline telephone number, etc. And of course, you need to pay attention to the quality of the packaging as a whole - it must be impeccable.
