Transmission oil ROSNEFT Kinetic 75W-90: analogues, reviews

Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 is a fully synthetic universal oil that has approval from leading automakers - domestic and foreign. This lubricant is equipped with a special set of additives that protect the engine from premature wear, increased friction and overheating. The original product of the Rosneft company successfully passed all tests, including test studies at the test site, as well as in laboratory conditions.

All-season oil of the Magnum Ultratek series has stable viscosity and effective cleaning characteristics that retain their beneficial effect throughout the entire service interval. The oil's performance is not compromised by climatic and road conditions, including gentle or intense driving with frequent stops and starts (e.g. in city traffic), towing heavy trailers and cruising at highway speeds.

Thus, the oil model in question is a prominent representative of the premium Magnum series, which is designed specifically for modern engines. This fluid is made using innovative additives, the creation of which was made possible thanks to the latest generation production facilities. According to official data, each product of the Magnum series is made on an original synthetic base, which Rosneft launched into the series back in 2020.

Purpose

Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 is used in gasoline and diesel engines of passenger cars, as well as LCVs (light-duty vehicles). We are talking about gasoline and diesel engines, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged internal combustion engines with catalytic converters or particulate filters. These can also be high-tech, economical engines running on biofuel, natural gas, etc. The presence of various approvals from well-known automakers confirms the high popularity of the oil among owners of modern and used cars. In addition, partial compatibility with older engines that do not have problems with oil leaks caused by microcracks and weakened seals is also declared.

Oil marked 5W-40 is universal, suitable for most climate zones around the world. Thus, this marking positions the oil as an all-season lubricant that retains its viscosity characteristics at any time of the year. In particular, this is indicated by the letter W and the number 5, which allow driving at temperatures down to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Next comes the number 40, which is tolerance for hot temperatures up to plus 40 degrees.

Lukoil Lux 5W40

The oil company Lukoil, which appeared in the early 90s, has achieved good results over the years. In terms of revenue from sales of motor oils, this company is second only to Gazprom. It also ranks second in oil production after Rosneft.

Lukoil Lux 5W40

One of the most popular domestic oils is Lukoil Lux 5W40. It is tested using special methods, so we can safely say that it is of high quality. The liquid has good dynamic viscosity at temperatures from -30 degrees.

The oil has a good viscosity index of 173 units. For the best imported lubricants, this figure does not exceed 185 units. Thus, Lukoil Lux 5W40 functions normally over a wide temperature range and retains its performance properties. At the same time, for sport use of a car, a different oil is required.

The alkaline number of Lukoil Lux 5W40 is 10.38 mg KOH per 1 g, so the liquid has good washing and neutralizing properties. As for the acid number, it is not the smallest and is 2.24 mg KOH per 1 g. This indicator indicates the content of anti-wear additives.

The pour point of the liquid is -46 degrees Celsius, and at -30 it retains all its original properties, without making it difficult to start the engine even in the northern regions of the country.

Classification

SAE

SAE is an international quality standard developed by the US Association of Automotive Engineers. Includes three seasonal categories:

1. Winter - marked as W (Winter) and contains six viscosity levels, starting from 0W and ending with 25W
2. Summer - is marked in the form of viscosity numbers, of which there are only five - from 20 to 60.
3. All-season - has Russian GOST and an international double symbol, for example, 15W-30.

API

API is a standard of the US Petroleum Institute, widely used in world practice. Includes two large categories:

1. Service – recommended for passenger cars and commercial vehicles with four-stroke gasoline engines. In total, there are ten classes presented here, which are marked in the form of a letter of the Latin alphabet. The most perfect oil is the one with the letter located at the end of the alphabet. In this case, this is the SL class for multi-valve turbocharged gasoline engines.
2. Commercial - required for high-speed diesel installations found in large trucks, agricultural machinery and road construction vehicles. This category presents eleven classes that have a similar designation principle as Service. In this case, the most advanced oil is CI-4 class fluid, intended for high-speed diesel engines.

Universal oils according to API have a double marking with a fraction - for example, SG/CD. A valid certificate allows you to verify compliance with the API, that is, the presence of the API on the canister will not be enough.

ILSAC

ILSAC is a standard of the Association of Japanese and American Engineers, developed specifically for their countries. Includes five classes in the form of GF, but development of the sixth generation GF is already underway. Below is a description of each class:

1. GF-1 – considered obsolete. corresponds to the API SH classification and has the following viscosity classes: 10W-XX, 0W-XX, 5W-XX, where instead of XX there should be a value from 30 to 60.
2. GF-2 - has been in force since 1996, is compatible with the API SJ classification and has the following viscosity classes: 0W-20, 5W-20, as well as classes from GF-1.
3. GF-3 – in force since 2001. Compatible with API SL classification, has improved antioxidant and anti-wear characteristics (unlike GF-2 and API SJ). Less evaporation and energy-saving properties (compared to similar classes ILSAC CF-3 and API SL).
4. GF-4 - entered into force in 2004, complies with API SM class and is endowed with energy-saving characteristics. Compatible with viscosity grades 0W-20, 5W-20, 10W-30, as well as 5W-30 and 0W-30. Compared to GF-3, it is more resistant to oxidation and has improved cleaning properties. Less prone to deposit formation and compatible with catalytic converters, which improve the environmental friendliness of modern gasoline engines.
5. GF-5 - has been in operation since 2010, complies with the API SM class and has strict requirements for fuel efficiency. Compatible with catalytic systems and elastomers. It evaporates less and has cleaning properties, and is also resistant to deposits. Protects turbocharging systems from wear products.

Based on the listed classes, we highlight the key features of the ILSAC standard compared to other classes:

1. Pronounced complex of energy-saving properties
2. Improved degree of impact of anti-wear properties on engine parts to avoid overheating and premature wear
3. Increased compatibility with catalytic systems, which are necessary for modern gasoline internal combustion engines to improve environmental friendliness.

ACEA

ACEA is a standard of the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers, which in terms of demand is at the level of the above classes. Consists of the following categories:

• A/B – recommended for passenger cars and commercial vehicles with diesel and gasoline engines. This category includes the following designations:
• A1/B1 – marking for motor oils with low-viscosity and energy-saving characteristics, as well as low high-temperature viscosity. Recommended for petrol and diesel vehicles (cars and LCVs)
• A3/B3 – marking for motor oils with long service intervals, adaptation to increased loads and the possibility of year-round operation. Recommended for the most technologically advanced petrol and diesel vehicles (passenger cars and LCVs)
• A3/B4 – marking for motor oils with strict requirements for piston cleanliness. Recommended for gasoline and diesel engines with direct fuel injection
• A5/B5 – marking for motor oils with a long service interval, low high-temperature viscosity and energy-saving properties. Recommended for gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines of passenger cars and LCV classes.
• C - recommended for gasoline and diesel engines that meet high requirements for environmental friendliness and fuel economy.
• E - suitable for diesel trucks adapted to increased loads.

Next, let's pay attention to the specifications and tolerances for synthetic oil Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40:

Motor oils Gazpromneft

Oil Gazpromneft

The company produces a large number of different Russian-made motor oils. Among them we can highlight Gazpromneft Premium - this line covers liquids of different viscosities, starting from 5W30 and ending with 20W50. Premium synthetic fluid is intended for engines of passenger cars and SUVs. The series is represented by four products that differ in tolerances and specifications.

Russian Gazpromneft Standard oils are mineral liquids intended mainly for carburetor internal combustion engines. These fluids comply with the API SF/CC specification and are offered in three viscosities:

• 10W-40;
• 15W-40;
• 20W-50.

The next domestic oil is Gazpromneft Super, available in the following viscosity options: 10W-40, 5W-40, 10W-30, 15W-40. This is a series of semi-synthetic oils with API SG/CD approval.

The Gazpromneft company makes its lubricating compounds from high-quality base oil with the addition of European additives. The quality of the liquid is not inferior to imported products. Among the key advantages of these liquids are:

• Synthetic oils of this brand have an increased service life due to antioxidant additives in the composition. Also, the liquids are compatible with catalysts without affecting their condition.
• Detergent additives in oils keep the engine clean, keep the soot fractions in suspension, preventing them from settling on surfaces or forming clots.
• The viscosity and operating temperature characteristics correspond to the declared ones. Accordingly, oils provide optimal operating conditions for the engine, simplifying starting at temperatures from -15 to +45 degrees.
• Protection of the motor in extreme operating conditions with constant starts/stops, long-term operation at idle and extreme heat.
• Minimum oil consumption for waste.
• Reduced fuel consumption by minimizing friction between engine elements.

Gazpromneft SAE 20W-50 oils help increase pressure in the lubrication system and solve the problem of insufficient lubricant supply, which is inherent in old used engines.

How to determine the original from a fake

• The fakeness of the oil can be judged by its cost, especially if it is underestimated by 10-20% compared to the recommended one . This oil is often found in small limited liability stores, which can make the injured customer at fault. In large stores, fake oil will cost the same as the original product. And yet, in such large chains, all responsibility falls on the unscrupulous seller, so the likelihood of counterfeit oil in such a store is minimal. However, counterfeits also happen; in such cases, scammers try not to arouse suspicion by selling a fake at the price of the original.
• The original plastic packaging (less often metal) has inclusions and can shimmer in the light, like metallic car paint. The surface of such a canister is smooth, with smooth edges and without casting defects (sinks, burrs, etc.). Fake oil will be revealed by non-uniform plastic containers that are so translucent that you can see where the two halves of the canister are welded together. It is possible that there is an unpleasant odor, as well as uneven markings on the oil level scale or colored marks instead of casting.
• Next, let's pay attention to the label , which is a source of information about the product, as well as an important element of protection against counterfeiting. You can see certain text on the label - naturally, it should be clear and without spelling errors. The original label is applied smoothly and without bubbles, and it is not so easy to pry off such a label with a fingernail. In addition, a fake can be identified by the quality of the printing: for example, the images of such a sticker are blurry, faded and uniform, without gradients or color transitions.
• The date of manufacture of the canister is indicated on the bottom of the package. It should be earlier than the date of manufacture of the oil itself. We also pay attention to the date stamp, which should not have scuffs or other flaws. Information about the batch number and expiration date is also decisive - only the original product has it.

Next, we will consider the most common methods of protecting the lid:

1. A retaining ring-seal with antennae that secure the lid from accidental opening. The antennae break when the canister is opened. Instead of a retaining ring, scammers apply ordinary glue, which is why oil can leak out when the canister is turned upside down.
2. Barcode or manufacturer's logo located on the side of the cap and ring. When you open the lid it splits into two halves. Thus, it is not possible to combine both halves of the inscription, especially in artisanal conditions.
3. Security hologram in the form of Original or Genuine symbols, which can be seen at an angle (the hologram shimmers in the light). When the canister is opened, the hologram self-destructs, so it is also not so easy to counterfeit.
4. The relief of the lid ribs on the fakes is narrower than on the original version. In addition, scammers do not bother with all sorts of little things, having neither the opportunity nor the desire to do everything efficiently. Therefore, fakes often lack brand engraving.

Comparison of technical characteristics of Rosneft and Lukoil motor oils

A car owner who not only mercilessly exploits his vehicle, but strives to maintain it in proper technical condition, does not save money when purchasing consumables. However, even such a caring owner has to face difficult choices. In particular, when visiting a car dealership, the question arises which oil is better to choose: Lukoil or Rosneft. Finding the answer to such a question is quite difficult for a beginner, so we are ready to make the task easier, provide ready-made information, after reading which you will be able to figure out which oil product is best to buy to put into the engine of your own car.

Comparison of motor oil: Lukoil or Rosneft.

Features of domestic oils

Those who believe that only foreign auto chemical products meet international requirements are seriously mistaken, since domestic oil may turn out to be even better in some technical and operational parameters. In addition, the domestic product not only has good parameters, but its price is also more attractive than that of an expensive foreign analogue. Also, domestic oil is successfully combined with fuel, which is sold at gas stations. Naturally, the composition and quality of domestic fuel differ significantly from that offered outside the home country.

As practice shows, low-quality domestic fuel can conflict with a good foreign engine oil product. Some car owners deliberately purchase low-quality fuel, not wanting to incur additional costs. Auto stores offer a wide range of domestic oil products aimed at car engines. Let's analyze the products of two popular manufacturers:

• Rosneft (also has another popular name - TNK);
• Lukoil.

Both of these manufacturers are very popular among domestic motorists.

Comparison by main characteristics

Realizing that both Lukoil and Rosneft are successful manufacturers offering quality products, you still have to make a comparison to understand which oil to buy. Let's consider how motor oil copes with loads under different operating modes of the vehicle.

Starting in the cold

If nature decides to present an unexpected surprise, accompanied by a sharp drop in temperature, car owners get a chance to check the quality of their motor oil. In severe frosts, starting the engine of your favorite car turns out to be quite difficult. You've probably seen how avid motorists have to abandon their cars and take public transport to get to work. This is exactly the case when low temperatures did not allow the engine to start.

Rosneft oil fluid demonstrates good starting characteristics. At the same time, experts draw attention to the fact that even with a strong decrease in temperature, the viscosity of Rosneft oil remains quite high. However, it should be noted that Rosneft MM contains a large amount of sulfur, which causes serious contamination of the engine. But Lukoil provides engine oil fluid with low sulfur content, and this product has a better viscosity index.

Power and consumption

It is also useful to pay attention to the characteristics that affect engine power performance. In this matter, Lukoil also takes a leading position, ahead of Rosneft. We also draw your attention to the fact that Rosneft oil provokes greater fuel consumption during engine operation. For this reason, there are more and more people wanting to purchase Lukoil’s product.

Chemical composition

If you compare motor oils by chemical composition, it is useful to pay attention to the ash content. It is significantly lower for Rosneft, but the cleaning characteristics are much better for Lukoil. Lukoil also benefits from containing more zinc.

But Rosneft’s oil product is ahead of Lukoil in terms of indicators:

• critical load;
• welding loads;
• badass index.

By temperature

Engine oil will meet its specifications if the vehicle is operated under specified conditions. Motor fluid from Lukoil is capable of allowing the engine to function successfully at a maximum temperature drop of minus twenty-five degrees. But Rosneft oil can withstand even thirty-degree frost. If we compare the focus on maximum temperature, then Lukoil wins, the product is able to withstand 40-degree heat, while Rosneft maintains its characteristics up to the maximum maximum - 35 degrees.

Price

If you pay attention to the price indicator, then the Rosneft product is suitable for those car owners who want to save on everything. Rosneft motor oils are cheaper than Lukoil products, however, it should be noted that the difference is not very significant.

Popularity comparison

Comparing Lukoil and Rosneft motor oils in terms of popularity, it is easy to understand that Lukoil’s product is sold out faster, since most car owners prefer to purchase this particular motor fluid, which is ideal for any domestic car. Although we will not deny that some motorists actively purchase only Rosneft oils and remain absolutely satisfied with their performance characteristics.

So, we hope that, having familiarized yourself with the main distinguishing features of these two manufacturers, you will be able to choose for yourself the best option for engine oil that will ensure the successful functioning of your car.

Signs of fake oil after the first fill (during operation):

1. Problems with starting the engine due to freezing of the oil, which can acquire a jelly-like state even at not very low temperatures. Such a lubricant is not capable of lubricating and cooling parts, which as a result overheat, experience dry friction and are subject to increased wear. In the end, there is a high probability of parts melting and major overhaul of the internal combustion engine.
2. Excessive oil consumption and the need for constant topping up are typical problems that arise after pouring a counterfeit base. Such a liquid has high carbon dioxide and volatility, and is also prone to the formation of deposits that accumulate in the engine oil passages. Increased carbon emissions reduce the service life of the engine. It should be remembered that counterfeit oil does not correspond to any of the parameters indicated on the product label.

Is it possible to compare Russian oils with imported ones?

Oils Tatneft

Russian-made motor oils, like imported ones, meet international requirements. The assortment includes products for cars of different brands produced in America, Korea, Europe and Japan. Of course, such oils are also excellent for domestic cars. Thus, Russian motor oils are available to most motorists, but you need to choose the lubricant wisely.

In general, domestically produced oils are better combined with the fuel sold at our gas stations. As you know, gasoline in our country is not the best, so some imported lubricants may conflict with it. As for environmental parameters, imported oils, of course, win.

Today we will tell you what domestic motor oils exist and which of them are most common in our country and their classification. In general, the range of these lubricating compounds is quite extensive and is represented by the following brands:

• Rosneft, which used to be called TNK;
• Lukoil;
• Gazpromneft;
• Bashneft and others.

Advantages

1. A wide range of solubilizing and dispersing characteristics that have a beneficial effect on interacting components, which are under maximum protection from deposits, overheating and premature wear
2. Pronounced thermal and thermal-oxidizing ability, ensuring uninterrupted cooling of particularly hot pistons and piston rings
3. Possibility of starting in cold conditions, which ensures effective oil pumping at the same high level as when starting in hot weather
4. No foam when cold or hot
5. Low carbon dioxide and low volatility
6. Compatible with seals of modern and older engines of passenger cars and commercial vehicles
7. Protection against oxidative processes and hazardous chemical elements (soot, chlorine, sulfur, etc.)
8. No harm to metal components of the internal combustion engine due to high anti-corrosion protection.

Reviews

• Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod region. I have a Lada Vesta 2020 1.6 - a good workhorse, it drives around day and night and brings profit. After buying the car, I decided to try out the factory oil a little (it was filled at the factory), and then I filled in various oils, including even Shell, Mobile, Castrol, etc. In the end, I finally decided on the choice in favor of Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 , which is almost in no way inferior to more expensive oils - the engine runs like a clock, and the oil is effectively pumped when starting or running the engine for many hours, preventing parts from rubbing, overheating and wearing out ahead of time. Thus, in practice, I myself have come to the conclusion that I am using real synthetics, which are no worse in efficiency than any Mobiles. But as for the stability of detergent additives, Rosneft is enough for 7-8 thousand mileage, while in the case of Castrol I rolled 10-11 thousand before the next replacement. And yet, I was pleased. In addition, Rosneft has a minimal likelihood of counterfeits, and it is better to buy Castrol only in large and expensive stores.
• Yaroslav, Pyatigorsk. Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 is a reliable ultra-sentiment at an affordable price, for which there can be no downsides. The only thing that confuses me is the short service interval compared to Shell oil from a friend of mine (we have the same Suzuki Vitara car), who fills the oil every 12 thousand kilometers. I have this figure for only 8 thousand km. At the same time, Russian grease begins to darken at the 3rd thousand - apparently, in this way (using the dipstick) you can determine the effectiveness of detergent additives, which surprisingly are not lost until the next oil change. Another friend of mine pours Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 into the Gazelle Next engine. He constantly boasts that the Gazelle engine starts well when cold and has excellent cleaning properties. In general, in my case and in another case (with friends), the power unit operates softly - at least I don’t hear the hydraulic compensators at all.
• Igor, Leningrad region. My wife drives a Nissan Qashqai, but since she doesn’t know much about it, the review will be from me. After all, I also drive a Nissan, but not as often. Nissan branded oil was poured into the engine from the factory. As soon as the time came to change, we immediately trusted the domestic brand, but first it was Lukoil, then Gazprom, and now Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 - we have already changed the oil twice. The replacement schedule is 8-9 thousand km. Everything is good and clear - the lubricating properties cope with their task better than those of competitors (Lukoil and Gazprom). There are no leaks or drips, fuel consumption is within normal limits. But the Qashqai’s mileage is approaching 150 thousand (a first-generation car), and soon it will be necessary to switch to oil with a higher viscosity.
• Vladislav, Irkutsk region. Rosneft is not a very popular brand, known only to Russian consumers. But on the other hand, this is good, since I have never seen counterfeits of this oil, even in small stores. Initially I filled it with Lukoil oil - it was recommended to me by the official AvtoVAZ dealer (Lada Granta car). I have nothing against Lukoil, but purely out of curiosity I decided to switch to Rosneft 5W-40 Magnum Ultratek, which in terms of characteristics is almost as good as its foreign analogues. As a result, I’m filling it up for the third time, during which time I’ve driven about 30 thousand km, that is, the replacement interval is 10 thousand. Naturally, I change it along with the oil filter. The oil pressure is normal, there is almost no waste, and volatility is minimal. In cold weather, synthetics do not thicken, unlike semi-synthetics and especially mineral water. But on the other hand, synthetics are more suitable for new cars. Mine still has 50 thousand on the odometer. As soon as it hits 100 thousand, you will probably have to switch to 10W-40.
