When it comes to the lubricant industry, Q8Oils tries to stand out, not just with premium product offerings, but also with our exceptionally high commitment to quality, support, and collaboration. As a brand, we have built a reputation on more than just providing reliable lubricants; we have developed a holistic approach that integrates customer support, creative solutions, and a drive for sustainability, establishing long-term partnerships with our clients.
Commitment to Quality
At the core of Q8Oils’ success is our relentless focus on quality. Whether it’s a complex industrial application or everyday automotive needs, Q8Oils ensures that its products meet the highest standards of performance. Through rigorous testing such as cleanliness, oxidation, wear, and corrosion control across multiple products, we continue to uphold our reputation as a trusted provider of lubricants that perform reliably in various demanding environments.
Moreover, Q8Oils’ dedication to innovation is reflected in our research and development efforts. We constantly improve formulations to meet evolving industry standards and specific customer needs. As a member of ATIEL (the Technical Association of the European Lubricants Industry), Q8Oils contributes to shaping ACEA European engine oil specifications to ensure the highest level of lubricant excellence on the market. Our findings reveal that 50% of competitor oil samples, claiming to meet ACEA standards, actually fall short of European Engine Lubricant Quality Management System (EELQMS) requirements! This underscores the importance of rigorous testing to ensure compliance. Failing to meet these standards can jeopardize Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approvals and risk non-compliance with key specifications.
At Q8Oils, we also adhere to the stringent testing protocols defined by the independent testing institute, SAIL, established by ATIEL. This ensures that our oils meet and exceed ACEA standards, crucial for maintaining OEM compliance and high product quality. Our research department consistently evaluates and tests lubricants performances and ensures that products meet demanding specifications like ACEA C6 and ACEA E8.
Here’s an example of Q8 Research testing program focusing on deposit control:

The deposit testing process shows some critical findings: the development of black lacquering across the entire surface of the panel. Lacquering poses a risk of severe engine damage. Its formation increases the likelihood of piston ring sticking, ultimately resulting in engine seizure. For a more detailed information about these results, please contact us.
