Adnoc
I'm planning to try ADNOC pearl (i think it's the semi sync) at my next oil change mid Feb. Do u know how much is for a 4 litre? Know where can I source from trustworthy supplier?
Currently I'm using Castrol Magnatec (ori) for RM63 per 4 litres. So for using for 2 oil change .... gooooooooooood
Crymson,
The company i'm working for is the sole importer and exclusive distributor for Adnoc lubricants in Malaysia, so we are trustworthy...
Resellers are only a handful due to the fact like wat Green Killer quoted, " better go for an established branded oil like Motul, Mobil 1, etc.......no headaches, why go for something that u've never even heard before? Just spend RM300 for an oil change for your car......."
so most of our dealers or workshops that hold Adnoc lubricants are aware of the quality, affordability and most of all, the risk of purchasing a recycled or imitation Adnoc lubes is practically nil (for the time being)...
So for the consumers who are made aware of this, the price $$$ they pay for Adnoc lubes which is 100% fully imported (
NOT blended or packed in Malaysia) from Abu Dhabi, UAE (one of the world's crude oil exporters), is surprisingly more affordable as compared to bigger and established brand lubes which are locally blended and packed....
Furthermore, it has been emphasized over many times, that the following website:
www.eolcs.api.org is to check the authenticity and approval of all API grades claimed by the oil companies... (which some consumers are pretty particular about)
