We recently spoke with Cees Sonneveldt: manager of Palub, the Technical Department of Q8Oils. He has been working for Q8Oils for 37 years – so we can call him an expert in the sector without hesitation.
Trends and changes within the oil sector are always about fuel economy and the associated viscosity, and can be looked at from following points of view.
