Lubechem Consultant, we provide end-to-end formulation solutions for 10W-40 multigrade petrol engine oil, designed to meet the lubrication needs of modern engines. This formulation is ideal for vehicles operating in varied climatic conditions, offering excellent performance from cold starts to high-temperature running. Our formulations meet key API specifications (API SL/SM/SN) and are fully customizable to suit your market and raw material availability.
We use high-quality base oils (SN150/SN500 or Group II blends) along with carefully selected additive packages including ZDDP, viscosity index improvers (VII), dispersants, detergents, and anti-oxidants. This ensures reliable oxidation stability, wear protection, detergent-dispersant balance, and extended oil life.
We Help You With:
Base oil and additive selection and sourcing
10w40 engine oil formulation as per API SL/SM/SN standards
Blending methods, temperature & mixing parameters
Technical guidance and lab testing protocols
Cost optimization and performance tuning
