Motor oil "Addinol": description, types, characteristics and reviews

After every ten thousand kilometers added to the ordometer, the motorist asks himself: "What should I fill?". Of course, someone has already found oil for a long time, which is ideal for a specific engine, but someone is still searching, because the quality and life of the engine depend directly on the quality of the oil. Since there are a lot of options now, but there is no way to try everything, motorists are forced to rely on reviews on the network. Oil "Addinol" is not too common in Russia, but every year more and more motorists choose it.

Manufacturer

ADDINOL Lube Oil has been on the market since 1936. This is a German company that produces high-tech lubricants. The Russian market has appeared recently, since 2000 , although officially supplies oil to more than eighty countries around the world. In the range of about six hundred different types of lubricants. The manufacturer tries to always be on the crest of a wave and constantly develop innovative products, such as chain oil for high temperature Cliptec or gear oil Eco Gear.

Thus, the manufacturer constantly raises the bar of quality and manufacturability of products. On the official website of the manufacturer you can see the complete map of the characteristics of any of the products and data on motor tests.

For cars

The assortment of oils for cars is also great. So, for example, for many motorists the find was oil "Addinol" 5w-40 ("Super Light" 0540). The manufacturer stated that this synthetic oil with a fuel-saving function will provide an easy way to gasoline and diesel engines. It is intended only for cars, and is suitable for both turbocharged engines and engines with direct fuel injection. The viscosity class is SAE 5W-40.

The manufacturer assures that the oil has excellent cold start properties and marks a slight wear due to good fluidity at low temperatures. Due to the low emission of harmful substances, the engine remains clean under all operating conditions, and the duration of its service is also extended. Oil is consumed only slightly, replacement intervals are long, which is achieved due to the prevention of varnish deposits, various deposits and oil thickening. In addition, the oil "Addinol" complies with the Euro-3 standard, which reduces the environmental load by reducing the emission of harmful combustion products. Supplied in canisters ranging in volume from one to twenty liters, or in barrels of 50 and 205 liters.

On practice

Consumers are already accustomed to the fact that you should not trust too much all the declared information. In practice, it is worth checking out the oil "Addinol". Customer feedback about it is pretty good. Motorists note the reduction in oil consumption and the absence of carbon deposits and zakoskovki even with prolonged use. The engine starts to work quieter, which for many is an important factor.

In our country, where the winter can be harsh, and the summer hot, a good oil is a must. Traditional "winter" and "summer" oils found on the shelves is almost impossible. How does the multigrade butter "Addinol" 5w40 behave in Russia?

Reviews

Motorists are loyal to the product: oil has shown itself at low temperatures (up to -35) for the mid-range, so the car will start even in severe frost, of course, if there is a good battery. For cold regions, for better performance in winter, it is worth choosing an oil with a lower viscosity index.

Motorists who used this oil, confirm that the product is an excellent value for money. It looks good even after passing 10-15 thousand kilometers, when many already make a replacement, so the resource of base oil is very high. A saturated package of additives also perfectly neutralizes oxidation products.

When to change?

Any oil producer indicates its recommendations regarding the operation of the product. Change the oil "Addinol" advise every 15-20 thousand kilometers, but these figures do not take into account the style of driving a particular motorist. Such a gap between full oil change will be useful only to those who travel most of the time at a speed of not more than 100 kilometers per hour. If the average speed is from one hundred to one hundred and thirty kilometers, then the mileage decreases by five thousand kilometers.

If the driver likes to drive, and the speedometer often shows a speed of 150-170 km / h, then you need to change the oil every five thousand kilometers of mileage, because at such speeds, any, even synthetic oil quickly loses its protective properties. It turns into a black liquid, in a consistency close to water. Therefore, when driving at high speeds, it is more reasonable and economical to buy inexpensive oil, for example semi-synthetic, and change it more often, and also top up if necessary. This will help keep the engine in order.

Attention - a fake!

Despite the fact that oil appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, valiant falsifiers start to take on the engine oil "Addinol". Its price ranges from 400 to 500 rubles per liter (depending on the region and point of sale), so their interest in this product is justified. In order not to pour a mixture of incomprehensible origin into the engine, follow simple rules.

The buyer is only able to inspect the canister when selecting. It should look like a new one, without the worn-out features of the former use. A lid without sealed "antennae" is the first sign that this "Addinol oil" is not from Germany at all. Next, you should pay attention to the seam: if it is sloppy, then, most likely, you have a fake. There is another trick based on the dates that are indicated on the package. Compare all the figures, taking into account the date of oil spillage. The date of manufacture of the canister, as a rule, is indicated on the bottom. On falsifications, the numbers may not coincide.

Logic on guard

For example, the oil spilled on January 2, 2017, and the canister was manufactured on February 2, 2017. It is reasonable to assume that the oil could not be spilled into a canister, which at that time did not yet exist. These little tricks will help to avoid buying counterfeit.

Life is also facilitated by the fact that on the official website of the manufacturer you can find the actual photo of a can for any product, and many of the products have their own characteristics. In the same place are indicated all the changes made in the design of a container. Of course, it is worth buying oil only from the official dealers TM "Addinol" in Russia - it is beneficial for them to always keep the level of quality at a height.

Where can I buy?

Since 2000, an official representation of the manufacturer has appeared in Russia, but so far the products are not too common in the market. However, in almost all major cities, Addinol oil can be found, and the list of stores and addresses can be viewed on the official site - it is faster and more convenient than a simple search on the Internet. To do this, you need to go to the "Where to buy" tab on the site. In the left part of the screen, in the "City" tab, you can see the full list of cities in which there are shops that sell TM "Addinol" products. If you select a city on the map, all available stores will instantly appear, for example, in Moscow and their area more than two dozen, and in Lipetsk - only one. The column to the right of the card displays brief information about the store, including contacts, so it's easy to call and clarify the presence of the necessary oil. It is possible and purchase through the Internet.
