The time of carefree use of modern expensive cars in Russia is over. Due to circumstances, the world’s leading car manufacturers can no longer properly support the Russian users of their cars. What kind of oil will 100% replace the original in a canister with the logo of BMW, Mercedes and others like them, as well as those refilled at dealer service stations?
After buying a new “behu” 4 years ago, my friend fulfilled his old dream. While the warranty car was under the wing of the officials, there were no problems with maintenance. All that was needed was to bring a decent amount to the cashier for the next MOT and drive carefree. When the warranty ran out, he went to club service. There I already learned that for the operation of technically complex BMW engines, in addition to original oils, alternative oils can be used. The main thing is to choose a lubricant based on viscosity, grade, and always with the approval of the car manufacturer. As the maintenance man explained to him, one step to the left, one step to the right, the piston rings will coke and lose their mobility, the oil burner that has started will kill the catalytic converter, the coke will be deposited on the turbine bearings and this expensive unit will fail . In general, the comrade believed in the great power of engine oil tolerance. Without him he is now no butter, when we talk about the Bavaria.
But there was a mass exodus of promoted oil brands from Russia, and routine maintenance in the club service began to cost as much as a large company going to a restaurant. A deficiency is a deficiency. Now what to pour into the BMW engine so as not to kill it? Recommendations to rely only on viscosity and quality grade when choosing, the friend immediately rejected.
Why is consent important? Yes, because obtaining it implies a very close cooperation between the oil manufacturer and the machine manufacturer, including serious work to bring the additive package to a level where the lubricant will certainly fulfill all the functions assigned to it in the engine. Most importantly, an oil with the correct tolerance will work out the maintenance interval specified in the user manual without a doubt.
An independent search for suitable oils in stock was delayed. Hope made a call from the service. The master said they are, they say, waiting for their regular customer for the next MOT and they have no problem with engine oil.
It turned out that the military switched to Turkish LUBEX oils, which have BMW Longlife−98 and Longlife−04 approvals. The service guarantees the authenticity of lubricants and, as before, gives a guarantee for the work performed, spare parts, consumables. And that says a lot.
For the sake of interest I decided to “google” what kind of oils are LUBEX? The main information is on the manufacturer’s Turkish website, but soon a Russian website appeared, which is full of useful information about products. The LUBEX brand belongs to the oil producer BELGiN. It is still little known in our country, but motorists from more than 50 countries of the world know it well. The Turks have a developed industry and do not skimp on the purchase of technology and equipment. They attract investments and specialists to the country. And for the Bavaria, LUBEX has several interesting motor oil options that fully meet the requirements of the car manufacturer, are guaranteed to protect high-loaded engines, guarantee the maximum amount of exhaust gas treatment systems and, thanks to the low ash additive package, reduce the negative impact on the environment. Whatever changes in the legislation on exhaust gas purity, nature must be taken care of.
For example, the PRIMUS MV 5W-40 synthetic motor oil is approved by BMW Longlife-98. Another option is PRIMUS MV-LA 5W-30 synthetic motor oil, approved by BMW Longlife-04. Incidentally, these LUBEX oils are also suitable for other premium cars (Volkswagen, AUDI, Mercedes, Porsche).
Like many top-class oils, LUBEX products for BMW belong to the energy-saving class. And in terms of price / quality ratio, they will give opportunities to most of the competitors who intend to redistribute the lubricant market in Russia.
