After every ten thousand kilometers added to the odometer, the motorist wonders: "What to fill?". Of course, someone has long found an oil that is ideal for a particular engine, but someone is still in search, because the operation and life of the engine directly depend on high-quality oil. Since there are a lot of options now, and there is no way to try everything, motorists are forced to focus on reviews on the network. Oil "Addinol" is not very 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 producing high-tech lubricants. It appeared on the Russian market recently, since 2000, although it officially supplies oil to more than eighty countries around the world. The range of about six hundred items of various lubricants. The manufacturer strives to always be on the cutting edge and constantly develop innovative products such as Cliptec high temperature chain oil or Eco Gear gear oil.

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

For cars

The range of oils for passenger cars is also great. So, for example, for many motorists, Addinol 5w-40 oil (Super Light 0540) turned out to be a godsend. The manufacturer claims that this synthetic oil with a fuel-saving function will provide easy running gasoline and diesel engines. It is intended only for passenger cars, and is suitable for both turbocharged engines and engines with direct fuel injection. Viscosity grade SAE 5W-40.

The manufacturer assures that the oil has excellent cold start properties, and notes slight wear due to good oil fluidity at low temperatures. Due to the low emission of harmful substances, the engine remains clean in all operating conditions, and its service life is also extended. The oil consumption is negligible, the change intervals are long, which is achieved by preventing varnish-like deposits, various deposits and thickening of the oil. In addition, Addinol oil complies with the Euro-3 standard, which reduces the environmental burden by reducing the emission of harmful combustion products. Supplied in canisters from one to twenty liters, or in barrels of 50 and 205 liters.

In practice

Consumers have become accustomed to notYou should trust too much all the declared information. In practice, it is worth checking the Addinol oil. Consumer reviews about it are pretty good. Motorists note a decrease in oil consumption and the absence of carbon deposits and coking even with prolonged use. The engine starts to run quieter, which is an important factor for many.

In our country, where winters can be harsh and summers hot, good oil is a must. Traditional "winter" and "summer" oils are almost impossible to find on the shelves. How does the all-weather oil "Addinol" 5w40 behave in the conditions of Russia?

Reviews

Motorists are loyal to the product: the oil proved to be excellent at low temperatures for the middle lane (up to -35), so the car will start even in severe frost, of course, with a good battery. For cold regions, for better performance in the winter, you should choose an oil with a lower viscosity index.

Car enthusiasts who have used this oil confirm that the product is excellent value for money. It looks good even after passing 10-15 thousand kilometers, when many people are already changing, so the resource of the base oil is very high. A rich package of additives perfectly neutralizes oxidation products.

When to change?

Any oil manufacturer indicates their recommendations regarding the operation of the product. It is advised to change the Addinol oil every 15-20 thousand kilometers, but these figures do not take into account the driving stylespecific motorist. Such an interval between a complete oil change will be useful only to those who drive most of the time at a speed of no more than one hundred kilometers per hour. If the average speed is from one hundred to one hundred and thirty kilometers, then the mileage is reduced 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, because at such speeds, any, even synthetic oil, quickly loses its protective properties. It turns into a black slurry, similar in consistency to water. Therefore, when driving at high speeds, it is wiser and more economical to buy an inexpensive oil, such as semi-synthetic, and change it more often, as well as top up if necessary. This will help keep the engine in order.

Attention - fake

Despite the fact that the oil appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, valiant counterfeiters are beginning to take on Addinol motor oil. 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 fill the engine with a mixture of unknown origin, follow simple rules.

When choosing, the buyer can only inspect the canister. It should look like new, without scuffs and signs of previous use. The lid without sealed "antennae" is the first sign that this "Addinol oil" is not from Germany at all. Next ispay attention to the seam: if it is sloppy, then most likely you have a fake in front of you. There is another trick based on the dates on the packaging. Compare all the figures, taking into account the date of the oil spill. The date of manufacture of the canister is usually indicated on the bottom. On fakes, the numbers may not match.

Logic on guard

For example, the oil was poured on January 2, 2017, and the canister was made on February 2, 2017. It is reasonable to assume that the oil could not have been poured into a canister that did not exist at that time. These little tricks will help you avoid buying counterfeit products.

The life of a car enthusiast is also facilitated by the fact that on the official website of the manufacturer you can find the current photo of the canister for any product, and many of the products have their own characteristics. All changes made in the design of a particular container are also indicated there. Of course, it is worth buying oil only from official dealers of TM "Addinol" in Russia - it is beneficial for them to always keep the quality level at their best.

Where to buy?

Since 2000, the official representative office of the manufacturer has appeared in Russia, but so far the products are not very common on the market. However, in almost all major cities, Addinol oil can be found, and a list of stores and addresses can be viewed on the official website - this is faster and more convenient than a simple search on the Internet. To do this, go to the "Where to buy" tab on the site.
