Revolution Oil awards Q8 Lubricant Centre Status to carefully selected Service Garages

Wed, May 07, 2014
Revolution Oil, an independent family-owned and operated business, member of the Verification of Lubricant Specifications (VLS) and Authorised Distributor of Q8Oils, has carefully awarded ‘Q8 Lubricant Centre’ status to a number of service garages throughout the South East of England. 
 
Each of the Revolution Oil Q8 Lubricant Centres offers only Q8Oils lubricants and petroleum-based derivatives which, as Revolution Oil’s managing director Paul Green explains, benefits all customers. “If you are using one of our Q8 Lubricant Centres, you can be absolutely sure that the correct oil, with the correct OEM approval, is being put in your vehicle when it is serviced, giving our customers the confidence that their engine oil is of the highest quality and backed by the best customer and technical support service in the business.”
 
He goes on to explain that not every motorist knows what engine oil to use in their vehicle, something many leave to a ‘knowledgeable’ mechanic thinking they’re in good hands. 
 
“Modern engine design is extremely complex and motor oil with an incorrect specification can dramatically reduce the engine’s performance, can lead to costly repairs and even result in a vehicle becoming exempt from a manufacturer’s warranty.”
 
With many garages buying on price alone, Revolution Oil believes that all motorists should be asking what engine oil is being used in their vehicles and suggests going further by requesting a copy of the OEM approval to ensure peace of mind. 
 
In the automotive sector, Q8Oils monitors the demands of all OEMs and works closely with them to exploit the potential of its product quality and development expertise.
 
The company’s Q8 Formula range consists of mineral- and synthetic-based passenger car engine oils that meet the latest American and European specifications for petrol, diesel and LPG vehicles. The range has been developed to optimise engine performance, minimise emissions and promote healthy driving both for vehicles and the environment. 
Q8 Formula oils also help to reduce fuel consumption, increase power output and provide protection during cold starts. 
 
For commercial vehicles and agricultural plant and machinery, the Q8 T range of engine oils has been developed for use in all Euro IV and V diesel engines and includes approvals for American EPA 2007 standards. The advanced formulation of the Q8 engine oil range combines the world’s highest diesel and petrol specifications, making it the market leader for mixed fleet applications. 
 
For all sectors, Q8Oils also offers a range of manual gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, greases, hydraulic fluids, antifreezes, degreasing agents and absorbent granules. 
 
Summarising, Paul Green says: “If an oil is a well-known brand carrying formal OEM approvals, as Q8Oils does; and if the company you are trusting your vehicle to is a member of the VLS, as Revolution Oil is, then you can be assured that engine oils will be chosen for your engine’s specification and not because they are cheap.”

Fulton is still one of the world’s leading manufacturers, producing an unrivalled range of multi-fuel steam boilers. But increasingly these are ordered by customers as part of bespoke turnkey systems designed to meet exacting specifications.
