On 24 September, during the final round of the Porsche Platinum
GT3 Cup Challenge Central Europe, Orlen Oil invited experts from the
automotive industry, journalists and process engineers to participate in
a discussion panel "Oil matters, or how we test our products".
The
products offered by Orlen Oil are subject to regular laboratory tests
at accredited establishments. Owing to this, the products meet stringent
quality standards, inter alia according to API (American Petroleum
Institute), ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association) and
ILSAC ( International Lubricants Standardization and Approval
Committee).
Research & Development departments play an
important role in the work on a product. On the basis of technological
expertise and rigorous laboratory testing, reliable, high quality
products are created that meet the requirements, are standardized and
tested. Designed with the selected end user in mind, they are thoroughly
tested on test beds both in Poland and abroad.
The first period of functioning of a new product in the market is carefully monitored by the technological services.
-
Manufacturers of cars and original equipment for vehicles place high
demands on oils and lubricants. The quality of our products is confirmed
by official recommendations of such firms as Renault, Ford, Citroen,
Peugeot, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz or BMW. In establishing the
quality of your products it is important to remember that you should
rely on credible data that actually constitutes value for customers. In
the case of automotive oils, we are talking about honestly performed
tests and reliability trials - says Marcin Osika, Head of Research and
Development at ORLEN Oil.
In the work on the quality of oils,
ORLEN Oil employs knowledge gained in motor sports. - During our racing
series, our cars - Porsche 911 - operate in demanding conditions. It is a
challenge also for oil. The key issue is thermal stability of oil at
high temperatures - says Janusz Czudek, mechanic for the Porsche
Platinum GT3 Cup Challenge Central Europe series.
- Platinum
oils users benefit from products designed for professionals - this helps
ensure their reliability and as a result both the safety and comfort of
the driver.
- Racing is all about thrills and adrenaline. For
drivers however, this means they must have reliable, proven machines to
be able to provide those thrills for their fans and be able to achieve
great results. That is why it is worthwhile to use proven operating
fluids, including oils – comments Adam Kornacki, TVN Turbo journalist,
frequent guest of the Porsche Platinum GT3 Cup Challenge Central Europe
series.
