MANNOL Engine Oils & Car Care Products in New Zealand | Premium German Quality

We have developed our own ester technology and use it in many lubricants to ensure optimal performance. These synthetic esters adhere particularly well to metal surfaces, reduce friction, minimize wear, and improve thermal stability. As a result, MANNOL ester oils provide reliable protection under extreme conditions and extend the service life of engines and transmissions.

DENSE STABLE OIL FILM
SCT ESTER molecules have negative electrical potential. This feature causes the ether molecules to stick to each other and like two oppositely charged molecules stick together through charge attraction, ether molecules stick onto the positively charged metal surface of the engine parts. They, thus, form a dense protective oil film. This coverage is considerably less susceptible to disruption at high load conditions, stays on the engine surface for a longer period, and doesn’t drain which allows starting the engine softer and safer.

ANTI-CORROSIVE PROPERTIES
Thanks to the dense oil film, ether oils also avert moisture and air passing through, which prevents oxidation and corrosion of metal parts.

LOW EVAPORALITY
Due to its complex structure and polarity, molecules stick so close together that it requires considerably more heat and energy to transfer the ethers from liquid to gaseous state. No steam is formed, consequently the pressure doesn't increase. This is reflected in lower evaporation and a higher flash point.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AT EXTREME TEMPERATURES
Compared to the base oils of previous generations, the application of SCT ESTER esters significantly increase viscosity. On the one hand, thanks to its excellent oil pump even through narrow channels at a temperature of up to -45°C, it enables an immediate and easy engine start. On the other hand, such oils persistently withstand temperatures of over 200°C without boiling, foaming, or changing the specified viscosity.

DETERGENT AND DISPERSANT PROPERTIES
Carboxylic acid esters are uniquely soluble to the point of total dissolution capacity and are stable in the retention of modern additives in their structure. Those characteristics hugely surpass all previously known base oil groups, including polyalphaolefins. In other words, the additives are better dissolved and integrated into the molecular environment of the oil, not delaminating and working evenly on all the rubbing surfaces. Well-dispersed combustion products are discharged from the engine into the filtration system without creating sediments on the surface.

BIODEGRADABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Nowadays, oils made with esters are used extensively in aviation, rocket science, and professional motorsports due to their unique engine protection properties under extreme loads, temperature, and pressure fluctuations. However, the rather high cost of esters restrains their use in the automotive industry, although it can solve the problem of ultimate protection of car engines.

RESTORATION OF GASKETS AND SEALANTS
Any engine, regardless of its operating modes and conditions, has an active process of rubber deterioration after running 100,000 km. This leads to loss of tightness and lubricant leakage. Statistics show that up to 50% of engines with over 150,000 km running experience this problem to varying degrees. Esther molecules easily permeate the aged and dried-out surface layer of rubbers and enable the restoration of the former properties of rubber seals and significantly prolong the engine's life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I choose the right engine oil for my car?
A: Check your car owner’s manual for the recommended oil specification, viscosity, and OEM approvals. Choose a brand that meets or exceeds these requirements.

Q2: What is the difference between fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral oils?
A:

Fully synthetic: Maximum engine protection, stable at extreme temperatures, longer service life.

Semi-synthetic: Balanced performance and price, suitable for most daily driving.

Mineral oil: Economical, suitable for older or low-demand engines.

Q3: What do the numbers in oil grades like 5W-30 or 10W-40 mean?
A: The first number with “W” indicates cold-start viscosity (winter), the second number is high-temperature viscosity. Lower W = better cold-start performance; higher second number = thicker oil at high temperature.

Q4: How often should I change my engine oil?
A: Refer to your car manufacturer’s recommendations. Typically, fully synthetic oils allow 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months, while mineral or semi-synthetic oils may require more frequent changes.

Q5: Does Longlife series support extended oil change intervals?
A: Yes, certified for long-life service intervals according to VW/Audi/Mercedes/BMW Longlife specifications.

Q6: Can Longlife oil be used for short trips or stop-and-go driving?
A: Yes, it provides full engine protection even under frequent short trips.

Q7: Can Racing series be used in everyday cars?
A: Yes, but it is designed for high-performance or modified engines. For daily cars, Extreme series is usually sufficient.

Q8: What are the benefits over Extreme or Longlife series?
A: Maximum protection under extreme conditions: high RPM, aggressive driving, or racing scenarios.

Q9: Why is OEM-specific series more expensive than Universal or Standard?
A: OEM oils are manufacturer-certified, tested to meet specific vehicle standards, and maintain warranty coverage.

Q10: If my car is VW/Audi/Mercedes, do I have to use OEM-specific oil?
A: Recommended to ensure warranty and optimal engine performance, especially for new vehicles.

Q11: Is Diesel series compatible with gasoline engines?
A: No, Diesel series is formulated specifically for diesel engines.

Q12: Is it safe for engines with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)?
A: Yes, Diesel series includes DPF-compatible formulations.
