Why high-quality lubricants are crucial
Lubricants are part of the daily working environment in workshops and industrial operations. Whether engine oil, gear oil or hydraulic oil, they ensure the functionality of modern engines and drive systems and are crucial for smooth workshop operations.
Modern high-performance oils have to withstand ever longer periods of use. An oil change interval of up to 50,000 km in the passenger car sector or significantly longer in the commercial vehicle sector is technically possible today. At the same time, the demands on efficiency, emission behavior, material compatibility and wear protection are increasing.
The choice of the right lubricant has a decisive influence on the
- Operational safety of vehicles and machines
- Economy in everyday workshop operations
- Protection of engines and transmissions against wear
- Energy efficiency and fuel consumption
Proper product selection reduces downtimes and extends the service life of the engine and drive system.
Plan oil change intervals correctly
... Practical tip
The intervals for oil changes are not random. They are precisely matched by the vehicle manufacturers to the engine design, exhaust gas aftertreatment and load profile. Modern on-board computers indicate when the engine oil should be changed.
Decisive factors for the actual oil change interval are
- Driving style (short or long distance driving)
- High thermal and mechanical load
- Quality and age of the engine oil used
Fuel quality, combustion residues or oil dilution also influence lubricity. Checking the oil level regularly and changing the engine oil in good time prevents engine damage and reduces unscheduled visits to the workshop.

Advantages of high-quality engine oils
... for workshops and vehicle fleets
A high-quality engine oil offers numerous technical advantages in everyday workshop use:
- High wear protection for engine components even under extreme conditions
- Protection against deposits and corrosion
- Universal applicability in vehicles and work machines
- Miscibility with other brand oils according to manufacturer specifications
- Year-round use thanks to modern multigrade and low-friction oils
- Reduced fuel consumption, especially at low temperatures
- Optimum cold start behavior and reduced cold start wear
The right choice of oil has a direct effect on service life, efficiency and operational reliability.
Oil storage in the workshop
... Practical tip
Proper oil storage in the workshop is crucial for the quality of engine oil, transmission oil and hydraulic oil. Improper storage conditions can impair performance.
Important points for oil storage:
- Use approved, airtight containers (canisters, drums or IBC lattice tanks).
- Storage in stable, leak-proof facilities
- Compliance with legal regulations for flammable liquids
Moisture, temperature fluctuations or incorrect containers can have a negative impact on oil quality. At the same time, environmental and personal protection must be taken into account.
