OILS USED IN TRANSPORT VEHICLES IN INDIA

Transport vehicles in India use various oils, including mineral, synthetic, and semi-synthetic engine oils for engines, while grease is used for components like wheel bearings. Specific grades like 15W-40, 5W-40, and 10W-40 are common for heavy-duty diesel engines, with synthetic options preferred for modern vehicles and harsh conditions.

Engine oils

  • Mineral engine oil: Derived from crude oil, these are typically more affordable and suitable for older, light-duty engines.

  • Synthetic engine oil: Chemically engineered for superior performance, they offer better resistance to high temperatures and oxidation, making them ideal for modern, high-performance, and heavy-duty engines.

Semi-synthetic engine oil: A blend of mineral and synthetic oils, offering a balance of performance and cost.

Common grades and applications

  • 15W-40: A very common grade for heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks and buses, such as Mobil Delvac MX 15W-40 or Tata Motors Genuine Oil GEO 15W-40.

  • 10W-40: Another popular choice for commercial vehicles, including premium and long-life options like Tata Motors Genuine Oil's CI4 Plus 10W-40.

  • 5W-40: Often used in newer, high-performance engines, as seen in Mobil Delvac 1™ 5W-40 and the Tata Motors 5W30 synthetic oil for commercial vehicles.

For natural gas engines: Specific gas engine oils, like Tata Motors Genuine Oil GEO, are formulated to meet the demands of these unique engines.

Other lubricants

Grease: Used for lubrication where oil would not stay in place, such as wheel bearings, suspension joints, and universal joints. Synthetic greases are often used for a longer life.
