Protection functions
1. Superior characteristics of raw materials (group III and
group I base oils) ensure high performance level.
2. Use of salicylates (modern multifunctional additives) in
manufacturing technology ensures neutralizing and disper-
sant properties by keeping impurities in suspension and pre-
venting deposit build-up.
3. High total base number (TBN) guarantees anti-oxidation
protection. Oil alkalinity ensures neutralization of acidic
compounds resulted during the engine run.
4. Presence of multifunctional additive packages in the oil
formulation ensures low wear.
5. Viscosity index improver, one of the additives used in
the oil manufacture process, ensures a permanent lubrication
level at both high and low temperatures.
1. Exclusive technology of salicylates (modern multifunctional additives) ensures detergent-dispersant properties by keeping impurities
in suspension and preventing deposit build-up.
2. Ensures optimal protection of all engine components against wear and corrosion.
3. Compatibility with the materials of gaskets, mechanical seals and other technical rubber parts.

Since 2007 when LUKOIL LUBRICANTS Intl. launched the Lukoil Avantgarde motor oil line formulated in order
to ensure low maintenance costs for older commercial vehicles with engines subjected to less severe operating conditions,
LUKOIL LUBRICANTS EAST EUROPE has been constantly introduces and promotes modern lubricants that keep up with the
new requirements of high-tech engine manufacturers, and the latest European emission standards.
So, currently, LUKOIL AVANTAGRDE PROFESSIONAL motor oils of the LUKOIL AVANTGARDE line show
improved performance levels imposed by high thermo-mechanical impacts and the air pollution emission requirements.
The LUKOIL AVANTGARDE line covers the entire range of groups and specifications applicable to DIESEL engines
(light, medium and heavy), meeting the requirements of world’s leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles and complies
with API and ACEA performance standards.
The main technical advantages of using LUKOIL AVANTGARDE motor oils are: increased life and guaranteed
protection of the engine taking into account severe climatic and operating conditions in Europe and Asia.
Modern technologies of manufacturing these lubricants also offer economic benefits, such as: lower repair and
maintenance costs, longer life of the motor oil and compliance with environmental standards that become increasingly
stricter every year.
