Oxidation is the chemical breakdown and changing of material in the presence of heat and oxygen. It is the predominant reaction and mode of degradation for in-service lubricants. This regularly occurring phenomenon accounts for significant equipment and lubricant reliability problems.
Oxidation is a major contributor for: oil thickening, varnish and sludge formation, additive depletion, oil breakdown, filter plugging, foaming problems, oil separation, lubricant failure, increasing acid content, rust and corrosion.
Therefore, understanding and controlling oxidation should be a major concern for both the lubricant chemist and lubricant user.
You may be familiar with the term “antioxidant” from a nutritional perspective. Indeed, vitamins and foods high in natural antioxidants protect your body. Similarly, lubricants high in petroleum-based antioxidants protect vehicles with greater performance. Oxidation is simply the chemical breakdown of materials due to heat and in the presence of oxygen. A perfect illustration is an apple or banana turning brown, an oxidation breakdown of the fruit. An antioxidant helps slow down the process to keep materials in good order. So what do they do, or how do theywork? Since oxygen is everywhere, antioxidant chemistry has been developed to protect against heat!
Australians are well aware of our hot climate and conditions. It is easy to protect ourselves from the sun and heat by using sunscreen. Protecting your vehicle from heat is just as easy using lubricants with high-performance antioxidants. Although all engine lubricants contain some level of antioxidants, new engine technologies, long service intervals, and Australian summers push their protection to the breaking point. Exposure to heat is often far more significant than standard lubricants can handle.
If you protect the engine oil from premature failure, you protect the engine itself from premature breakdown. Keeping engine oil protected against oxidation ensures good flow to components and is well lubricated and protected from overheating. Adding better oxidation protection with BG products that are scientifically proven to work will provide the protection your engine oil needs and is very easy to do; request it from your vehicle “nutritionist”, your BG mechanic!
At BG Products Inc., we are focused on the “market niche”, the high-end of lubricant and additive technology. Every year we invest a lot of resources to research and develop products that will add value for vehicle owners. Our laboratory operations are certified with rare ISO 170025 certification, which means that our processes are regarded transparent, internationally approved and reliable.
For decades we have invested in developing lubricants and lubricant additives that provide substantial benefits to oxidation protection for any in-service lubricants or our very own lubricant product line. Not only do we promise, but we gladly show our test results in oxidation protection with industry standardised testing methods.
Those professional operations that choose to operate with BG Products Inc. will be assured that they use the highest quality products to protect their own or their customer’s equipment. Our primary focus is to prevent premature fluid breakdown. In passenger vehicles, we call that service BG Performance Service.
BProtected with our BG Lifetime Protection Plan. You may be eligible for up to $4000 of coverage for your engine and fuel system by having BG Performance Service in your car every 15,000 km or 12 months.
This means that having an oil change with BG Products only once a year will give you free protection for your vehicle. (T&C apply)
Through our BGREEN service you can be sure that your vehicle’s engine is running clean, economic and protected whilst being conscious that you are doing your part for a greener Australia ... and that’s a BGREEN Australia.
Internal combustion engines will always produce carbon deposits as a by-product of combustion. We are not claiming that this will not happen after a BG Performance Service, but instead we claim that with a high quality BG Products Service it is possible to minimise known problems and keep your vehicle greener and maximise its resale value.
