UAE’s ADNOC Distribution launches range of 100% plant-based engine oils

The UAE’s largest fuel and convenience retailer, ADNOC Distribution, has launched a new Voyager Green Series range of lubricant products for both petrol and diesel engines, made from 100% plant-based base oil.

The new products are part of ADNOC Distribution’s strategy to continue expanding its environmentally-friendly product range, official news agency WAM reported.

Voyager PX Green is developed for petrol engines and Voyager DX Green for diesel engines. The blending technology is the first approach in the region to be made entirely from plant-based base oils, a statement added. Plant-based base oils are made from sustainable feedstock sources, such as palm, soy, coconut and rapeseed.

The range is formulated to deliver high levels of engine performance than conventional synthetic base oils, due to its unique molecular composition. The new series will also carry certifications from the American Petroleum Institute (API) as well as major vehicle manufacturer approvals. The new lubricants range will be available in the UAE from March 2022, as well as across the company’s international distribution network of 19 countries.
