Q8Oils blending plant in Antwerp is a site with a long and rich history, dating back to 1891. Over the last years the plant underwent a 100 million dollar renovation, transforming it into one of the largest and most technically advanced lubricant production facilities in Europe. With additional expansion possibilities, the Antwerp blending plant is set for the future.
Every business in the commercial vehicle sector is looking for ways to improve engine performance, lower fuel consumption and reduce maintenance costs. With the Q8 Formula truck range of heavy duty engine oils you can do just that and more.

The Society of Automotive Engineers ( SAE) recently introduced new specifications concerning low viscosity in the J300 motor oil classifications. These new specifications will help OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to achieve the increasingly stringent requirements in terms of fuel economy. However, this extremely low viscosity may bring many challenges concerning sustainability. Let us explain.
ACEA, Association des Constructeurs Européens d’Automobiles, is an organisation of the fifteen most important automobile manufacturers in Europe. They are responsible for, among other things, defining certain specifications and requirements relating to motor oils for passenger vehicles, vans, trucks and buses.
We recently spoke with Cees Sonneveldt: manager of Palub, the Technical Department of Q8Oils. He has been working for Q8Oils for 37 years – so we can call him an expert in the sector without hesitation.
Trends and changes within the oil sector are always about fuel economy and the associated viscosity, and can be looked at from following points of view.
Q8Oils Brunel XF 343 is a new generation metalworking fluid designed to excel across a wide variety of aerospace machining applications. In 2015, it was approved by Snecma Safran to the specification 455-201-0-00-B and in 2016, with continued sales success it also was accredited PCS 4001ed2 approval from Safran Landing Systems to be included on the PCS 4002 list.
