What is lubrication, and why is it important?
Lubrication can be defined as the application of oily or greasy substances, also called ‘lubricants’, to reduce friction and allow moving machine parts to slide smoothly past each other. Lubricants form a film between the metal surfaces of machine parts to avoid metal-to-metal contact and to keep the machine running efficiently.
Why our products?
SCHMIERÖL products are blended with the highest quality of base oil and OEM approved additive packages. Our products are certified from different word renown organizations, like the American Petroleum Institute (API). As our objective is always to perfect the quality of our products, we never forget our primary goal, Customer Satisfaction. By combining a superior quality, an excellent value and the finest service, our products bring forward the competitive advantage.

What does the lubricant do?
Lubricants have a wide range of functions that include controlling the following:
✓ Friction – Lubricants reduce heat generation & energy consumption
✓ Wear – Lubricants can reduce mechanical and corrosive wear
✓ Corrosion – Quality lubricants protect surfaces from corrosive substances
✓ Contamination – Lubricants transports contaminants to filters & seperators
✓ Temperature – Lubricants can absorb and transfer heat
Lubrication professionals often become very familiar with the base oil viscosity of their lubricants. After all, viscosity is the most important property of a base oil.
Baselines for incoming oils are set and the health of the lubricant is monitored based on viscosity alone. However, there is more to lubricants than just viscosity. It’s crucial to understand the role of additives and their function(s) within the lubricant.
Lubricant additives are organic or inorganic compounds dissolved or suspended as solids in oil. They typically range between 0.1 to 30 percent of the oil volume, depending on the machine.
Base oils are used to manufacture products including lubricating greases, motor oil and metal processing fluids. Different products require different compositions and properties in the oil. One of the most important factors is the liquid's viscosity at various temperatures.
Base oil is produced by means of refining crude oil. This means that crude oil is heated in order that various distillates can be separated from one another. During the heating process, light and heavy hydrocarbons are separated – the light ones can be refined to make petrol and other fuels, while the heavier ones are suitable for bitumen and base oils.
BECOME OUR DISTRIBUTOR
We follow a rule of one distributor per country. Hurry up and become one of our international distributors.
The acronym API stands for American Petroleum Institute. It sets the global quality requirements and testing criteria of lubricants, such as motor or gearbox oil.
The question of which motor oil is suitable for diesel motors keeps coming up, again and again. But the times in which there were special motor oils for diesel motors are long gone. Modern motor oils fulfill both the requirements of petrol and diesel motors. What's important in the selection of the right motor oil is much more the specification or approval given by the vehicle manufacturer. If this is printed on the bottle label, then the oil can be used for the respective motor. Regardless of whether it's diesel or petrol.
The fill level of the motor oil is always measured when it is warm. This ensures that the motor is in the temperature range in which it usually is, optimally supplied with lubricant.
We keep receiving questions like "what do you think of a motor oil change after as long as two years?". Without a sound laboratory analysis of the old oil, the car driver cannot assess the condition of a motor oil by the color or by rubbing it between their thumb and index finger. When a change of the lubricant is necessary is decided either by the vehicle itself (variable) or the change was set by the manufacturer according to a fixed mileage or age. In the case of a variable change interval, the vehicle will tell you when a change is required. The mileage until the next change can simply be called up in the vehicle menu. Should a change be prescribed, the date is usually written on the oil note in the motor compartment or in the service booklet of the vehicle.
The minimum durability in small containers is five years – assuming it is stored in a dry place at temperatures between + 5 °C and + 30 °C and is not in direct sunlight. The cellar, and not the garage, is ideally suited to storage.
What is decisive for the selection of an oil is the quality and the manufacturer guidelines, not the viscosity. This information can be found on the container label. The 5W-30 specification relates only to the liquid condition of an oil at a certain temperature and is not a sign of quality.
Yes! The mixability of the motor oils with one another must be possible in order to guarantee refilling at any time. However – depending on the oil added – the quality or the properties of the existing oil are changed.
