Long-Drain Engine Oils: Achieve 20,000 km Between Changes for High-Mileage Vehicles in Asia, Africa & the Middle East

Pain Points: Frequent Oil Changes Drain Profits

In Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, long-haul logistics, desert heat (e.g., Sahara’s 45°C+), and dusty conditions accelerate oil degradation, forcing trucks and buses to replace motor oil every 5,000–10,000 km. Conventional mineral oils oxidize rapidly and lack shear stability, causing sludge buildup and engine wear that inflate fleet maintenance costs by 30%+. For example, Nigerian freight companies waste over $15,000annuallyonlow-grade\ast \ast lubricantoil\ast \ast ,whileSauditaxifleetslose$8,000 monthly due to engine downtime.

Solution: Extended Drain Technology Redefines Efficiency

TERZO long-drain lubricants use PAO/ester synthetic base oil and dual anti-wear additives engineered for high-stress engines. Their molecular stability under extreme heat improves shear resistance by 50%, enabling 20,000 km oil change intervals for Asian mining trucks and Middle Eastern off-road vehicles. For Africa’s dusty roads, TERZO lubricants integrate nano-filtration agents to trap particles above 5 microns, reducing filter clogs.

Technical Edge: Certifications & Durability

TERZO automotive oil meets critical benchmarks:

• API SP/SN Plus certification for turbocharged and Euro VI/China VI engines, minimizing low-speed pre-ignition risks;

• Viscosity Index >200 (ASTM D2270), maintaining lubrication film integrity at 60°C in Middle Eastern summers;

• Anti-rust formulation (ASTM D665B-tested) protects port machinery in coastal regions from salt corrosion.
  OEM compatibility: Custom blends align with Volvo, Isuzu, and other heavy-duty engine specs.

Case Studies: Proven Cost Savings

Case 1: Kenya Cross-Border Logistics
After switching to TERZO heavy-duty engine oil for trucks, MAN trucks extended drain intervals from 8,000 km to 20,000 km, slashing annual lubricant and labor costs by 42%. Case 2: Dubai Taxi Fleet
Using extended oil change intervals Africa/Middle East formulations, Toyota Prius hybrids saw engine overhauls drop 60%, saving $28,000 yearly.

FAQ: Tackling Regional Challenges

1. How do long-drain oils handle Middle Eastern sandstorms?
   TERZO lubricants include silicon-based detergents to neutralize acidic dust, preventing clogged oil passages in Iraq or UAE environments.

2. Does API certification ensure high-temperature reliability?
   Yes. API Certified standards require passing 150°C deposit tests, ensuring stability during desert long-haul operations.

3. Are small-scale trial orders available?
   TERZO offers OEM services with 200-liter MOQs and mixed-grade customization for African mid-sized fleets.
