- Motor oils of all types;
- Transmission;
- Hypoid;
- Special liquids.
JB GERMAN OIL motor oils have been approved in many countries around the world. The quality of the products meets the stringent requirements of leading car manufacturers: Mercedes Benz, Audi, Porche, Man.
ECO Longlife III 5W-30
New synthetic oil from German OIL, intended for use in cars, regardless of the type of fuel. It can be used in diesel units equipped with a dust filter and equipped with a pump injector.
Technologists working at largest factories Audi and Volkswagen. Therefore, the properties of the oil allow it to be used in VW and Audi Long-Life cars.
In addition, the lubricant can be used in internal combustion engines with high mileage, for which a specific period for completely replacing the oil composition has been established.
Evolution F3 High-Tech Power SAE 15W-40
Mineral water belonging to the Elite category. Suitable for cars with any type of fuel and lubricants. The composition includes special synthetic additives that make it possible to use it in difficult conditions. It can be safely poured into gasoline internal combustion engines, as well as turbocharged diesel engines. The quality of the motor oil meets the requirements propulsion systems cargo Vehicle. Thanks to a large number of unique additives, it has acquired several important properties:
- Cleansing;
- Dispersants;
- Anti-wear.
Belongs to the group high quality oils, characterized by impeccable reliability. Can be used in all seasons on any car. Compatible with others mineral oils, recommended for extreme conditions.
Reliably protects the valve lifter and facilitates its operation in wide range temperature values.
The lubricating ability of the oil does not change at sub-zero temperatures. Low viscosity makes it easier starting the internal combustion engine V winter time when it's minus 25 outside.
Deletes harmful deposits. Valves and piston rings always remain perfectly clean.
Formula XXL SAE 0W-40
100% synthetic. Designed for cars different types, regardless of the type of fuel used. Mainly used in light-duty vehicles.
The oil is different from its analogues high quality, belongs to the group of elite products. It will be a reliable protector of highly loaded engines installed in passenger cars using gasoline or diesel fuel.
- Reduces fuel consumption;
- Cleans exhaust gases;
- Promotes an easier start in frosts down to -30.
- Keeps the motor perfectly clean;
- Increases the period for replacing lubricating fluid;
- Properties remain stable at any temperature.
All high parameters of JB GERMAN OIL oils are due to the use of the latest base oils on a synthetic basis, together with a unique additive package. Cars running on such lubricants receive reliable protection. Guaranteed silent and smooth operation engine until the composition is completely replaced.
It's time for an oil change, I wanted to fill it as before Shell Ultra synthetics, but there was information that since December 2015 there has been a European one, which burns out at 5000 rpm. and higher. I listened and thought about trying a different oil, the viscosity I use is 4G63 5W-40, that’s what I’ll be looking for, I think it’s the optimal middle ground for all-season use.
They advised me to try JB German Oil made in Germany, I came home, googled it, and realized that the Germans have had oil for a long time, it’s budget-friendly, unpretentious, but in Russia it’s an unknown oil and there are no good reviews. The price for a liter of gravy is just over 600 rubles at retail; for 4 liters they ask for 2,300 rubles, which essentially classifies the oil as a budget synthetic in the case of P-5 5W-40.
In the old fashioned way, for a product for which there are few reviews on the Internet, I propose to start discussions in the comments, I am sure that over the course of several years we will be able to accumulate valuable information and real experience of car owners, which will be useful for those who are wondering whether to try JB German Oil.
My choice settled on synthetic JB German oil longlife p-5 sae 5w-40, in soon I will change the oil and filter (I think this week), then I will write and supplement this article with my impressions, I also ask you to add your reviews about the oil in the comments to this article.
For six months I added 1.5 liters of Shell HX8 (the cheapest synthetic), I attribute this to the ride above 5000 rpm, or I bought the same bottle that people complain about because of its high waste. Most likely this is the case, the oil is really like water, you need to change it urgently and see how the engine works, what the consumption will be, whether the hydraulics will make noise.
The most important thing in motor oil is not to buy leftist, in everything else, in principle, the brand and so on are not so important, you won’t get much of a price if you change the oil every 5,000 km, of course there are rumors that from Lukoil there are pieces of plasticine lying in the crankcase later , I haven’t personally checked, but I know that production and technology are now at the level and synthetics from Lukoil are quite good normal oil, the subconscious belief is simply triggered that in Russia they cannot do anything special, and therefore there is no desire to trust the internal combustion engines of foreign cars to domestic oils. Of course, it still depends on what kind of engine you have, in my case the 4G63 is an omnivorous horse, into which the main thing is not to pour 50W.
The times are difficult, there is a crisis, wages are not growing, but are even declining, and oil prices are still creeping up, so our task is to find inexpensive, good oil that will be original, in in this case German and even if it is not a famous brand, but if you change it every 5000-7000 km, it will work perfectly. Of course, I won’t get ahead of myself just yet, but I hope that I won’t have to add any more oil until the replacement (of course, if you don’t turn it to 6000). If you have already tried JB German Oil, please write your review in the comments

I changed the oil, exactly 4 liters came in, I put a liter in the trunk for topping up for a rainy day. The engine runs smoothly, the hydraulics don’t knock, I won’t say anything about fuel consumption yet, it was basically normal, I don’t think it should change much from the oil on a normal healthy engine. Whoever I haven’t asked, they say everywhere that they haven’t encountered any complaints from those who filled this oil
