AdBlue with Petrol Ofisi guarantee
As you know, use of AdBlue is obligatory to reduce the air pollution caused by vehicle emission, especially for the heavy commercial vehicle group, including trucks and buses. To meet our customers’ needs, we have launched a project and started selling AdBlue under the Petrol Ofisi guarantee at the pumps in some of our stations, particularly those located along the main transportation routes, and we continue to make them more widespread. Petrol Ofisi AdBlue, which meets international quality criteria and standards, reduces emitted hazardous nitrogen oxides (NOx) by up to 80 percent. Also, it provides up to 6 percent more fuel saving in Euro 5 and Euro 6 engine vehicles compared to Euro 3.
Ready-to-Use Antifreeze and Ready Extended Life Coolant for cold weather
Used for protecting the engine and the cooling system parts, antifreeze prevents overheating by increasing the cooling water’s boiling point and protects radiators from freezing by decreasing its freezing point. It also provides protection against corrosion. That’s why antifreeze is an obligatory chemical to be used in vehicle engines throughout the year. Regular antifreeze products need to be mixed with a certain amount of water before being poured into the engine. In addition to our concentrated product, we also offer our customers the Ready-to-Use Antifreeze, which is an ideal mixture of antifreeze and water. Our other newly developed product is the Ready Extended Life Coolant, which is a new generation long-lasting antifreeze formulated with organic acid technology (OAT). Petrol Ofisi Ready-to-Use Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol-based conventional antifreeze which provides high radiator protection. Both of our antifreeze products protect engines up to -40 oC.
