Bardahl oils: used by champions, recommended by manufacturers

Additives are chemical agents that attach to the metal parts of the mechanics to perform special functions. A good oil must: lubricate, cool, guarantee sealing, protect, transmit adequate pressure, reduce wear, be stable and anti-corrosion, keep the engine clean, disperse soot and, overall, reduce emissions. The quality of the additives will determine the oil's ability to meet all these functions.

Bardahl engine and transmission oils have many assets to highlight. Bardahl oils not only meet the standards of manufacturers and international standards (ACEA, API, JASO, ILSAC*). They also comply with the EELQMS (European Engine Lubricant Quality Management System) quality label, which imposes a series of very demanding tests. Thus, Bardahl is recognized as a manufacturer of lubricants that respects and applies good manufacturing practices. It must be said that the yellow cans contain more than 80 years of experience. That counts.

Over time, the philosophy has never changed: ensuring the durability of mechanics while reducing pollutant emissions. To do this, Bardahl guarantees a high-quality lubricating film derived, on the one hand, from the best virgin and non-regenerated bases, but above all, on the other hand, from a large number of performance additives. Bardahl stands out in particular with its anti-wear additives that are on average 8 times more efficient than comparable products on the market and extreme pressure additives that are up to 5 times more resistant than the competition. This guarantees high protection for the engine and gearboxes (with its ATF machine that cleans, in addition to draining, automatic gearboxes and its dedicated oils, Bardahl also has great expertise in gearbox oils).

The most efficient oils in the range can even have up to 3 protective films thanks to our innovations. The first additional film is composed of Polar Plus polar molecules that act like micro-magnets on the metal. This technology allows the lubricating film to remain anchored to the metal walls, even after months of engine inactivity! For their part, the Fullerene C60 molecules provide even more protection. They behave like micro-ball bearings that, by interposing themselves between the metal surfaces of the engine, create an anti-friction protective layer, further protecting the mechanics from wear and corrosion. In more technical terms, Fullerene C60 provides high shear resistance because this molecule greatly facilitates sliding between the metal parts.

In summary, we repeat: without additives, the oil would not allow you to drive for very long.

Today, in the automotive industry, with the rise of low-displacement turbocharged engines, but also and especially hybrid vehicles, whether rechargeable or not, multigrade oils reduce their viscosity with a very specific objective: "Fuel Economy", in other words, fuel economy. The lower viscosity allows the oil to lubricate the top of the engine more quickly when cold but also to reduce the effort of the moving parts. Less energy to be deployed for the parts also means less consumption and fewer emissions.
This trend allows the Bardahl philosophy to continue, even after more than 80 years: to preserve mechanics, the environment and people, by making them save money.
