Lux is the best

Lux is the best. Engine oil LUKOIL LUX 5W30 proves this by its properties and characteristics. Reliable, stable, high quality. It not only collects consistently positive consumer reviews, but all of its properties are confirmed by numerous tests and trials.

Product description

This lubricant is a pure synthetics produced on a quality base with a balanced additive package using modern technology. The oil base creates a strong film on the surface of engine parts, resistant to mechanical and temperature effects, and to rupture. This film significantly reduces friction, facilitates sliding of mechanisms, thereby protecting them from wear and extending their service life.

This oil has a high stability of viscosity and pressure, as well as good fluidity, fast pumpability and fast build-up of standard pressure within the system. Due to these properties, the product does not change its characteristics throughout the entire drain interval and can be used longer than other greases. Also, high performance provides easy starting of the motor at low ambient temperatures and effective protection of the motor at high temperatures.

The additives have excellent cleaning and dispersing properties. Thanks to these properties, the inside of the engine is kept clean, no harmful deposits are formed, and the normal operation of filters and valves, as well as the catalytic converter, is ensured.

The oil is resistant to high loads and all kinds of external influences. With it, you can literally drive to the limit of the car's capabilities and not worry about the safety of its systems. After all, this product remains stable at high and low ambient temperatures, at maximum power and speed, during driving tests in the city and outside the city.

All these characteristics of the oil contribute to the disclosure of the engine's potential, increase its efficiency and performance, a long period of operation without replacement and loss of quality. With him, any car will be able to show everything that it is capable of, and fully open up.

Application area

How 5W30 stands for

The viscosity class of the oil is all-season, this is indicated by the letter W in the 5W30 marking. The number 5 is an index of sub-zero temperatures that oil can withstand and corresponds to minus 35 degrees Celsius. The number 30, in turn, indicates its suitability up to plus 30 degrees. Thanks to such a wide temperature range, the oil can be used year-round in most climatic zones of the world.

Advantages and disadvantages

These are the benefits of LUKOIL LUXE Synthetic 5W-30 synthetic motor oil:

• high level of engine protection against wear and corrosion, even under severe operating conditions;
• preventing the formation of deposits inside the motor;
• compatibility and maintenance of normal operation of catalytic converters;
• ensuring easy starting of a cold engine at subzero temperatures due to rapid pumping and pressure build-up;

Disadvantages can arise during operation as a result of the individual characteristics of the machine or the conditions of its use.

1 - the environmental label informs that the canister is made of a material that can be recycled, encourages you to keep it clean and return the container for recycling; 2 - designation of the material used; 3 - number of the mold of the blow molding machine; 4 - LUKOIL trademark; 5 - month and year of manufacture of the canister.

How to distinguish a fake

It is quite easy to distinguish a fake of this engine oil from the original. But to fake it is, on the contrary, difficult. Especially in an artisanal way. To create counterfeit Lukoil requires special equipment. And all because a real canister has:

1. The covers are made using a special technology. The red rubber inserts are here fused into the metallic plastic.
2. The labels are not made of ordinary paper, but of a special polymer material. They are fused into the plastic of the canister, as a result they cannot be peeled off or re-glued.
3. Date of manufacture and batch number are laser engraved. Such an inscription cannot be erased, smudged or interrupted.

You should also make sure that the maximum information is applied to the label: basic characteristics, the address of the plant and the phone number for complaints and suggestions, the article or product code, the date of bottling and the batch number.

Lukoil produces several types of lubricants for different types of motors. Let's consider two types of oils and get acquainted with the opinion of consumers.

Grease series Lux 5W30

Lukoil Lux is designed for year-round use in diesel and gasoline light trucks and passenger cars, compact special vehicles, crossovers, etc. Lux 5W30 can be poured into engines equipped with any system for neutralizing harmful substances in the exhaust. It is suitable for engines with different numbers of valves, turbocharged and heavily loaded.

The products are approved by Ford, Renault and Avtovaz for use during the warranty period.

Consumer opinion

Vladimir, Lada Priora, 3 years in operation

I have been pouring Lukoilovskoye oil for as long as I can remember. First, he poured mineral water into domestic cars, then, when semi-synthetic and synthetic products appeared, he began to use synthetics. I buy only at branded Lukoil gas stations, they say, in other places you can run into fakes.

I make a replacement after 10-13 thousand mileage, during this time its properties do not deteriorate. I do not travel so much, and if I do not wind 10,000 km in a year, then after a year I still change. The engine runs quietly, carbon deposits do not form on the valves, the oil darkens gradually. In cold weather, the car starts up normally, recently it started at -35, the engine spun twice a little, then it was normal.

I watched a video on the Internet, where they tested Lukoil 10w40, 5W30, and so Lukoilovskoe Lux 5W30 thickens the least.

Nikolay, Lada Kalina, in operation since 2015

Now I'm driving Vesta. On the advice of friends, I filled in Lukoil 5W30. I noticed that the engine became louder, and at idle it seems that it is somehow difficult for it. The start of the motor was not as stable as before, the starter began to twist longer before grabbing. The first time I changed the oil for 11,000 kilometers, the master said that it was still in good condition.

In general, I decided that for a price of 1,300 rubles, this oil is quite a worthy replacement for expensive imported analogues, and the reviews about it are mostly positive.

Avangard 5W30 grease

Synthetics Lukoil 5W30 Avangard Professional is an oil designed for diesel engines of all generations, up to Euro V, and operated under heavy load or with extended drain periods.

The base is the most modern synthetic lubricants with imported additives. This product is recommended for heavy duty diesel engines installed in buses and trucks. It can be used with SRC (Exhaust Purification Catalyst and Nitrogen Oxidation Reduction) and EGR, a system that recirculates exhaust gases, but without the use of particulate filters.

Consumer opinion

Evgeniy, chief mechanic of JSC "PTP"

We have several D245 turbodiesel engines in our fleet. For them we purchase grease from Lukoil Avangard Professional. It comes out inexpensively in barrels, about a hundred rubles per liter. To thicken the liquid, additionally fill in the Astrokhimov additive "Antidym". The engines feel normal and when warmed up, they give out a pressure of 1.4–2.6. But then a well-worn Kamaz with a 740 engine appeared. We thought about it, many say that synthetics do not go to old, non-turbocharged engines.

Vasily, Mazda BT, in operation since 2007

Mazda BT-50 car, turbocharged, 2.5 liters, changing the oil according to the instructions after 9-11 thousand km. I used to pour Mazda Dexelia 5W-30, but it disappeared from sale, a crisis or something. I tried to fill in the Avangard Professional made by Lukoil. The situation after the shift has not changed, fuel is consumed, as before in winter, the diesel still does not get warm in cold weather and starts without problems.

Advantages of Avangard Professional

• The oil possesses good temperature-viscosity properties and provides ease of start-up after a long idle period in frost. It perfectly manifests itself in operation at high operating temperatures - it is not subject to oxidation, stably retains an oil film, does not form carbon deposits and deposits. The formed deposits and oil sludge are removed with detergents.
• The basis is a high quality base oil with modern additives imported. Anti-friction additives increase engine life and reduce fuel consumption by reducing friction.

How much can you trust the health of your engine to domestic synthetics - or not take risks and choose a proven imported product?

Let's take a look at the example of the popular domestic engine oil LUKOIL-Lux 5W-30 API SL / CF, which is produced by OAO Oil Company LUKOIL, the undisputed leader of the Russian market in this segment.

This oil is very popular among Russian motorists, mainly owners of inexpensive domestic cars.

LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 is very popular in the CIS countries and the European Union, such as Lithuania and Poland. What is the reason for such popularity, we will consider below.

Characteristics and application

LUKOIL-Lux 5W-30 API SL / CF ACEA A1 / B1, A5 / B5, according to the manufacturer's information, is a synthetic multigrade engine oil designed for gasoline and diesel engines, including turbocharged ones, passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Meets and exceeds the requirements of technical conditions and specifications of the leading automotive factories. Can be used in any climatic zone, in regions with difficult operating conditions and unstable fuel quality.

Fully compatible with emission control systems, excluding diesel engines equipped with particulate filters.

Let's figure out in order whether this popular domestic product meets the declared high characteristics. LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 is produced from a base obtained by oil hydrocracking technology and the addition of a proprietary additive package.

Since LUKOIL is one of the largest oil giants in the world, its own raw materials are used for the production of oils. This fact favorably distinguishes LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 from analogs made from recycled products.

It is no secret that, for example, in Germany, oil producers are obliged to add a proportion of processed oils from secondary raw materials to commercial oils.

The additive packages were developed in our own laboratory and adapted to domestic realities: not always high-quality fuel, cold climate, undeveloped service.

The presence of its own raw material base and an adapted package of additives make LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 so suitable for Russian operating conditions.

The temperature characteristics of LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 indicate the possibility of all-season use, which is especially important in the northern regions of the Russian Federation, where air temperatures reach record lows in winter.

The pour point of LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 is -40C °. An independent test of LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 at an ultra-low temperature of 47 ° C has confirmed excellent low-temperature properties, comparable to oils based on PAO, which are much more expensive. The results of these tests are available on the YouTube platform.

At the same time, the flash point is a record 222C ° for this class of oils, which allows the oil to not be afraid of prolonged heating. In normal operation, especially in a large city, these properties will reduce the rate of oil degradation and high temperature deposits.

The main characteristics are shown in the table

The photo shows a sample heated to 150 ° C and retaining its properties.

Tolerances and specifications

LUKOIL-Lux has approvals from leading automobile plants in Europe and the Russian Federation. The presence of real tolerances and specifications can be verified on the manufacturer's website, where samples of certificates are presented.

According to the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers ACEA LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 corresponds to A1 / B1 and A5 / B5, has the following approvals:

• JSC AVTOVAZ;
• RENAULT RN 0700;
• FORD WSS-M2C913-A, B, C, D.

LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 is licensed by the American Petroleum Institute. According to API specifications, the oil quality group defined by LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 is SL / CF.

Let me remind you what the 5w-30 characteristic means. The viscosity class of the oil is all-season, this is indicated by the letter W (from the English Winter) in the 5W-30 marking.

Number 5 is an indicator of low-temperature viscosity and is guaranteed to be pumped up to -35C0. The figure 30 is an indicator of high-temperature viscosity in the range of 9.3 to 12.6 mm2 / s.

Advantages and disadvantages

The experts praised LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 after long-term tests by Za Rulem magazine.

The experts noted:

1. High energy saving properties.
2. Excellent protective properties.
3. High base number, which will affect the cleanliness of the motor.
4. Excellent fuel economy performance was also noted.
5. Low price compared to imported counterparts.

The disadvantages include:

1. High sulfur content, which will have a negative impact on environmental performance.
2. Low API quality group by modern standards, therefore weak detergent characteristics.

How to identify counterfeit oil

The situation with the falsification of LUKOIL engine oils remains disappointing. The popularity of the product has led to the fact that it is as easy as shelling pears to buy fake oil of this brand.

The manufacturer, of course, is fighting counterfeits, but underground counterfeit manufacturers are improving, and even an experienced car enthusiast is often unable to distinguish a fake.

A fake canister flaunts both an excise stamp and a certificate, and inside it is not filled with "oil" oil, but often of the same brand, only of a cheaper line.

It is especially difficult to distinguish such a fake., as this requires a fairly professional equipment. In 2015, law enforcement agencies discovered a whole clandestine plant in the Moscow region, where, among other things, oil under the LUKOIL brand was bottled.

The examination confirmed the proper quality of the product, that is, the oil of the same brand, but of the Standard line, was poured into the container with the “Lux” label.

Naturally, the price difference between these two lines is twofold. The difference can only be determined through long-term operation or in the laboratory. Be careful when shopping.

In order to protect against the purchase of counterfeit products, purchase LUKOIL-Lux 5w-30 in the network of numerous filling stations of the brand and other official suppliers.

Lukoil Lux 5w30 has been produced for a long time, it has both admirers and opponents, the properties of motor oil Lukoil Lux 5w30 synthetics, reviews of motorists and approvals from carmakers will be given in this review.

The oil meets the tolerances and specifications of the automakers:

• API SL-CF;
• ACEA A5 / B5, A1 / B1;
• Renault RN 0700;
• Ford WSS-M2C913-A, WSS-M2C913-B and Ford WSS-M2C913-C;
• JSC AvtoVAZ;

An independent examination showed that the properties of the engine oil indicated by the manufacturer do not differ from the real ones, all the discrepancies were small and included in the measurement error. Antiwear and cleaning additives turned out to be quite good - the mass fraction of phosphorus, zinc and calcium is sufficient. Low oil consumption for waste was also noted. Experts cannot say anything bad about this engine oil - a mid-range product, without the use of advanced technologies,

Who is Lukoil Lux 5w30 engine oil suitable for?

This oil is suitable for all modern automobile gasoline and diesel engines, but without catalyst systems and soot exhaust purification. Despite the manufacturer's assertion that the oil can be used in highly accelerated gasoline and diesel engines with turbines, it is better to use it in lightly loaded non-accelerated engines with extended drain intervals. The base number of the oil is high, which indicates excellent detergent properties. It will perform well in cold start conditions and may be preferable to more expensive competitors in winter.

Lukoil Lux 5w30 suitable for fresh, unpretentious budget foreign cars, and representatives of the domestic auto industry. The manufacturer itself positions it as developed for Ford cars, and three tolerances of this brand, especially the demanding Ford WSS-M2C913-C, confirm this. But even Ford has engines for which this oil is categorically contraindicated. In order to understand exactly whether this product is suitable for your car, use the online oil selection option on the manufacturer's official website, this will avoid mistakes.

Lukoil 5w30 synthetic oil: user reviews

Lukoil Lux motor oil is not a newcomer to the market. It steadily occupies its niche in the line of budget synthetics, and has been especially popular recently, when prices for foreign brands began to rise.

Reviews about Lukoil Lux 5w30 are predominantly positive; 83% of those motorists who use it would recommend this oil to their friends and acquaintances. In positive reviews of Lukoil Lux 5w30 motor oil, the priority was given to a low price, compliance with the declared characteristics and good detergent properties.

Negative reviews about Lukoil 5w30 oil are more likely the result of improper selection of oil, its use in the latest generation engines with complex fuel injection and afterburning systems, or the expectation of the properties of premium oils from this product.

If you add up all

For the human body to function normally, bones need a lubricating fluid. Otherwise, as a result of constant friction, the bones will become more susceptible to stress, and this is the first step to fractures and dislocations.

In order for the car to serve its owner for a long time, engine parts need timely lubrication. If this is not the case, the mechanism will become more susceptible to wear and tear.

Motor oil from Lukoil, 5W30 series synthetics and semi-synthetics, is specially created to help motorists save the life of their "iron" horse. If you follow the instructions from the manufacturer Lukoil, you can avoid many problems with the engine and replacing parts of this mechanism.

Technical characteristics of Lukoil 5W30 oil and its price

Engine oil from Lukoil 5W30 synthetics appeared on the market at an affordable price for a long time. Lukoil engine oil meets many international approvals and standards: API, ACEA. The manufacturers AvtoVAZ, Ford and Renault tested the lubricant and gave permission to use the fluid in the engines of their products.

In laboratory conditions, an independent examination was carried out, which proved that the characteristics of the oil specified in the instructions from Lukoil really correspond to the real values ​​of the technical parameters. The discrepancies that were found fall within the error range. As a result, Lukoil engine oil was classified as a medium-level lubricant.

Lukoil 5W30 oil is developed from synthetics and semi-synthetics, which makes it affordable for buyers and competitive among other products. Released several lines of grease from the 5W30 series. Each of them has its own characteristics and technical indicators.

Genesis is one of the most common lines of Lukoil engine oil from the 5W30 series. Glidetek is most often poured into foreign-made cars and is suitable for different categories of the price segment on the market. It is used in gasoline engines of cars.

Lukoil Genesis 5W30 oil is made of synthetics and has a number of advantages and good technical parameters:

• Quick start of the engine in winter.
• Small waste of waste.

• Neutralizes all deposits on rubbing motor elements.
• Automatically cleans engine parts.
• Significantly saves fuel consumption.
• Low sulfur content.
• Ignition temperature at 239 ºС, and solidification at -42 ºС.
• Viscosity index 162.
• The alkali content is 6.7 mg.

When conducting laboratory studies of Genesis Glidetech 5W30, it was found that the obtained indicators correspond to those indicated by the manufacturer. Boron and magnesium were detected in the additives of Lukoil Genesis Glidetech oil. These elements contribute to additional cleaning of parts, prevention of carbon deposits and engine wear. There is no calcium in Lukoil 5W30 Genesis Glidetek oil, therefore boron successfully replaces it, and this helps to reduce ash content.

Lukoil Genesis Glidetech oil meets the requirements of ACEA, API, MB, BMW, Ford and Renault.

Disadvantages: examination revealed a deviation from the norm in terms of viscosity at 100 ºС. It was 11.34 at a rate of 10.5 mm² / s.

Since synthetics significantly reduce the cost of production, the price of Lukoil Genesis 5W30 oil is low compared to foreign competitors and depends on the packaging and the store.
