Lubricants across all diesel types
NexGenOil Group is based in Dubai. Situated in one of the world ' s hottest climate regions, the NexGenOil product team knows the tremendous thermal demands desert conditions place on vehicle engines and drivetrains.
Lubrication in extreme heat
Modern engines are running hotter than ever to optimise efficiency. And powertrains are producing more power than ever before. Passenger vehicles are now on average twice as powerful as they were in the 1990s. That means much more load-pathway strain is transferred through the transmission and differentials, making premium lubricants invaluable.
Extreme climate operations are an underappreciated operational issue with commercial fleets and private vehicles. South Africa has a long, extremely hot summer. That means trucks and private vehicles travelling at crawl speeds in the country ' s intense urban afternoon traffic have very high heat-soak exposure for engines and drivetrains.
When vehicles are nearly at a standstill in traffic for hours in extreme summer temperatures, airflow isn ' t doing the cooling. Lubricants are. That ' s where lubricants created and marketed by industry specialists who understand extreme-heat vehicle risk are invaluable.
Adhering to the strictest blending standards and using advanced German chemical engineering techniques, NexGenOil markets a range of oils and lubricants. MANNOL is one of the brands that NexGenOil brings to market. The German oil and lubricant brand offers an extensive product range and is globally renowned for its quality.
Within MANNOL ' s range of more than 500 products are several specialist diesel engine additive and lubrication formulations. Helping diesel truck and bakkie fleet owners and private operators keep diesel engines lubricated and healthy, even in an environment with variable-sulphur fuels like South Africa.
NexGenOil understands that modern turbodiesel engines run at extremely high injection pressures, and that the drying effect of ultra-low-sulphur diesel fuel means injectors need as much lubrication protection as possible. That is why NexGenOil is proud to market several of MANNOL ' s specially ester-containing lubricants that protect diesel particulate filter systems, clear carbon deposits, and add a protective layer to fuel pumps and injectors.
With a product team based in Dubai, NexGenOil ' s product developers and marketers understand the demands of operating fleets and private vehicles in extreme heat, where lubrication quality is tested like it would be on a summer ' s day in the Karoo or Kalahari.
