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

MANNOL is an internationally active brand under which lubricants, technical fluids, and car care products are distributed – with a portfolio of over 500 products in more than 10,000 item variants. Since 1993, the company has stood for reliable quality and a broad range of applications. Today, MANNOL products are offered in over 130 countries worldwide.

Product Variety and Service Offering

The product range includes engine and transmission oils, additives, coolants and brake fluids, greases, as well as technical sprays and industrial oils. In addition to high-quality products, MANNOL offers its partners comprehensive support – from technical training and sales support to digital tools for optimal product selection and ordering.

In-house Production and Laboratory Expertise

MANNOL lubricants are produced in the company’s own facilities. The entire production process – from raw material selection and formulation to filling – is carried out entirely in-house under strict quality controls.

A patented blending process ensures an optimal and consistent mixture of base oils and additives, while automated blending systems control this process precisely. Fully automated filling systems ensure secure packaging of the products.

Each product batch undergoes a three-stage quality inspection according to ASTM standards: after blending, the chemical composition is tested; during storage, a stability check is performed; and before filling, final compliance with all specifications is ensured. Samples are archived for up to three years to guarantee long-term quality control.

In addition to lubricant production, MANNOL also manufactures its own plastic and metal packaging to ensure consistent availability and short delivery times. The packaging design is also developed in-house – with a focus on ergonomic handling, intuitive product navigation, and a clear brand identity.

Logistics and Global Distribution Network

Thanks to a global logistics network with warehouses on several continents, MANNOL offers high product availability and short delivery times. In addition to lubricants, the product range also includes filters, car care products, brake pads, wiper blades, and other vehicle components.

Through close cooperation with distribution partners, the MANNOL team not only supports product selection but also helps identify the most suitable products for each region and organizes transportation. Furthermore, it provides targeted marketing support and assistance with legal requirements.

Commitment and Responsibility

MANNOL has been involved as a sponsor in various sports – from motorsports to football, basketball, and other disciplines. The brand is also represented at international trade fairs to present its technologies and solutions for a wide range of applications.

Sustainability is an important part of the company’s strategy. Increasingly, renewable energy is used at production sites to reduce CO₂ emissions. In addition, MANNOL cooperates with specialized recycling companies such as PARTSLIFE to ensure the environmentally sound disposal and recycling of used oils and workshop waste. End users can properly dispose of used lubricants – for example, in Germany through authorized collection points, recycling centers, or directly at dealers who are obligated to take them back.

Proprietary ESTER Technology for Maximum Performance

SCT ESTER THE NEW TECHNOLOGY

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.
