Automechanika Frankfurt: BIZOL Announces the Launch of New Products
This year, at the Automechanika Exhibition in Frankfurt, the German lubricant manufacturer, Bizol, officially announced the launch of three new motor oils: Bizol G+, Bizol Technology 509, and Bizol Technology Gas.
Bizol Head of R&D, Prof. Dr. Boris Zhmud, spoke about challenges which drive innovation in motor oils. Zhmud pointed out four major trends: downsized boosting, ultralow viscosity, start-stop and advanced aftertreatment systems, all being linked to emissions and fuel economy, and all pushing up demand for lubricant quality.
Zhmud explained that Bizol G+ has been so far the only product on the market optimized specifically for urban driving cycle instead of industry-standard universal driving cycles such as the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) or the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles
Test Cycle (WLTC). This move is justified by the traffic situation in major cities, where the use of harmonized driving cycles is misleading both with respect to fuel efficiency and engine protection. “It is in urban traffic that most engine wear occurs due to frequent start-stops, rapid accelerations and short-haul trips,” he says. Bizol G+ is designed to provide improved fuel economy and an extra layer of protection under such conditions. The product is suitable for use in the majority of new turbocharged and supercharged gasoline and diesel engines equipped automatic start-stop function and advanced aftertreatment systems such as diesel particulate filters (DPF) and three-way catalysts (TWC).
Bizol Technology 509 is another new top-tier full-synthetic product meeting the most recent VW 508.00/509.00 specifications, which allows maxing up fuel efficiency without compromising
engine protection in new VW and Audi TFSI and TDI engines.
Finally, Bizol Technology Gas 10W-40 is an innovative mixed-fleet product suitable for use in both dedicated and the converted- to-gas engines in passenger cars, light duty vehicles, trucks and busses. Zhmud believes that this product is posed to be the most hassle-free and cost-efficient option for mixed CNG/LPG fleet owners.

ExxonMobil launches Mobil ServSM, a new lubricant analysis programme
• Oil analysis programme helps to improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs through extended oil drain intervals.
• New features include mobile app, scan-and-go bottles and flexible analysis capabilities.
• Customers can manage oil analysis from their mobile, tablet or desktop.
ExxonMobil has launched Mobil ServSM Lubricant Analysis, a new mobile-enabled used oil analysis service. The new service will help operators identify equipment issues before they happen and avoid unscheduled equipment maintenance.
The service, which replaces ExxonMobil’s SignumSM
, is vital in helping engineers
maintain a healthy and reliable operation. When monitored regularly, the used oil analysis programme helps to enhance equipment reliability, reduce maintenance costs and unscheduled downtime, improve equipment durability and reduce lubricant consumption. It can also help to extend oil drain intervals, which in turn improves safety by reducing intervention with machinery.
Designed to streamline the entire used oil analysis process from initial sample gathering to final reporting, the service leverages scan-and-go technology with QR Codes so customers can easily deliver used oil samples to ExxonMobil’s oil analysis laboratory. Customers can then access results and customised equipment recommendations on mobile or tablet devices using a cloud-based app and share it with any other parties, as needed.
The new services package can also eliminate labels and paperwork and facilitates real-time communication of sampling scheduling and results. However, customers will still be able to manage and assess their reporting manually. In addition to the new, user-friendly interface, the system also offers improved response time - all to help operators protect their equipment and business.
“The Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis programme can be accessed via any mobile device and our new report layout and expanded trend analysis make it simpler for users to
understand the diagnosis and act on our recommendations” said Ayman Ali, ExxonMobil’s industrial marketing adviser for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. “The launch of this new service builds on ExxonMobil’s long tradition of providing leading used oil analysis services to companies around the world, enabling them to extend oil drain intervals and, in turn, benefit from reduced maintenance costs and improved efficiency.”
The used oil analysis programme offers a full 360° analysis allowing operators to track productivity trends and spot any anomalies. With 25 testing options available users are able to pick and choose the right test package for their operation.
The new service is available now and customers previously registered to Signum will have automatically migrated to the new programme, along with their analysis history.
