Base Oils
Offering premium base oil products and service
Our base oils cater to a wide range of customers and needs and can be used in the manufacturing of automotive, industrial, and functional lubricants that meet even the highest performance specifications. Motiva's base oils are hydrotreated, Isomdewaxed, and hydrofinished to produce high VI, water-white paraffinic lube oils. The very low sulfur content of our base oils makes them an ideal blend stock for modern low sulfated ash, phosphorous, and sulfur (Low SAPS) engine oil formulations.
