Engine-oil samples beside clean bearing and gear components in a laboratory
Automotive lubricant samples · vehicle and duty-led review

EO · Engine Oils & Automotive Lubricants

Match the lubricant to the vehicle and duty.

Start with the vehicle segment, then confirm the fluid type, viscosity grade, required specification and operating context against the selected product record.

Overview

Turn a vehicle list into a reviewable product brief.

Vehicle segment is the first filter because it frames hardware, duty cycle and service context. It does not replace the product-level decisions that follow: fluid type, viscosity grade and the specification or approval requested by the buyer.

Provide the make and model where relevant, operating conditions, current grade or reference specification, expected volume and destination. SAM can then locate the recorded product information and identify what still needs technical confirmation.

How the range is organised

Choose the vehicle segment, then confirm the grade.

Six segments, each named for the vehicle class it is formulated for. The taxonomy names the segments; it names no individual product designations, so none are printed.

This is how the range is organised. The products currently held in the catalogue are listed above.

  1. 01

    Passenger cars

    The segment the range is most often read from. No individual designations are published for it.

  2. 02

    Trucks & buses

    Published as one segment, as the taxonomy lists it. No individual designations are published for it.

  3. 03

    Motorcycle & ATV

    Published as one segment, as the taxonomy lists it. No individual designations are published for it.

  4. 04

    Agriculture

    Named for the vehicle class it serves. No individual designations are published for it.

  5. 05

    Construction & mining

    Published as one segment, as the taxonomy lists it. No individual designations are published for it.

  6. 06

    Gardening

    The smallest-equipment segment the range publishes. No individual designations are published for it.

Key specifications

Read properties in the context of a specific product.

Viscosity, low-temperature behaviour, volatility and elemental information support different decisions. Values and methods belong to the reviewed product TDS rather than a family-wide assumption.

Typical values are not published on this page. They are issued in the Technical Data Sheet, which needs no form.

  1. 01Kinematic viscositymm²/s
  2. 02Viscosity index
  3. 03Flash point°C
  4. 04Pour point°C
  5. 05Densitykg/m³
  6. 06TBN
  7. 07TAN

Test methods for this axis are pending technical review.

How values are confirmed

Use the property set above to define the enquiry. Exact typical values and test methods are issued in the reviewed TDS for the selected grade; the supplied batch is then identified against its COA.

Quality & testing

Connect the product record to the supplied batch.

Quality control runs at the same three stages as every category, and a batch is qualified against the same property axis it is later described on.

  1. 01

    Incoming

    Material is tested on arrival, before it enters the process.

  2. 02

    In-process

    Testing runs during processing rather than only at the end of it.

  3. 03

    Outgoing

    The batch is tested again before release, and the result is the Certificate of Analysis issued with it.

Batch qualification07

  • Kinematic viscosity
  • Viscosity index

  • Pour point
  • TBN
  • TAN
  • Elemental analysis

Which of these are run in-house and which are run at a partner laboratory is stated on Quality & Certifications, not here. Quality & Certifications

Packaging & supply

Define volume, packaging and destination together.

The formats this category is supplied in, and the commercial terms it is quoted against.

  • Bulk
  • Flexitank
  • Drums
  • IBC
  • Pails & retail packs
  • Customized

Minimum quantity, lead time and payment terms are established against a specific product, format and destination — they are part of the quotation, not a published table.

  4. 04CIF

Increasing seller responsibility, top to bottom. Which one applies is settled in the quotation, not here.

Documentation

Use the TDS, SDS and COA for different decisions.

Three documents are issued for this category. Two describe the product, one describes the batch you receive — and none of the three sits behind a form.

  2. SDSSafety Data SheetHandling, storage and transportNo form
  3. COACertificate of AnalysisPer batch — the result of outgoing testingNo form
  4. CataloguesThe full company and product catalogues are the only documents released against a qualifying form, and that form is on the Products landing page.Open

Questions

Asked before an enquiry.

Find answers to common questions before discussing your requirements with our team.

Can I read the specifications before making an enquiry?

Yes. Technical and Safety Data Sheets are published openly. Only the full company and product catalogues are released against a short qualifying form.

Is a sample available before committing to an order?

Yes. For engine oils a sample is issued at the first stage of an enquiry, before any commitment.

Is the range published by fluid type as well as by vehicle?

Not on this page. The vehicle segment is the published dimension; the fluid types within each segment are pending technical confirmation, so none is listed rather than being estimated. Which fluid applies to a given vehicle is confirmed against an enquiry and stated in the Technical Data Sheet.

Is a Certificate of Analysis issued for every batch?

Yes. The COA records the outgoing test result for the batch supplied, not a typical value for the product.

Can a fluid be supplied to a specification we provide?

Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own rather than a variant of a published product, and a sample is the first stage of it.
