Base Oil
Japan has full line-up of Group Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ base oil products in Japan and Japanese refineries are positioned as one of the world class manufacturers supplying high quality base oils to the global market, including Asia, the Middle East, the EU and North America.
Group I
Group I base oils are solvent-refined - a simpler refining process. The most cost-effective base oils on the market.
Group II
Manufactured by hydrocracking - a complex refining process.
Group II base oils have better antioxidation properties than Group I. They also have a clearer color. Group II base oils are becoming very common on the market today.
Group III
These oils are greatly hydrocracked.
This longer process is designed to achieve a purer base oil.
Although made from crude oil, Group III base oils are sometimes described as synthesized hydrocarbons, or synthetic technology.
Group IV
Group IV base oils are poly-alpha-olefins (PAOs). These synthetic base oils are made through a process called synthesizing. They have a much broader temperature range and are great for use in extreme cold conditions and high heat applications.
Group V
Group V base oils are classified as all other base oils, including phosphate ester, PAG, polyol ester, bio-lubes. These base oils are at times mixed with other base stocks to enhance the oil’s properties. Esters are common Group V base oils used in different lubricant formulations to improve the properties of the existing base oil.
