Serfac Limited is now stocking the latest in-demand lubricants for hybrid vehicles from Wolf Lubricants, a company known for its innovative and cutting-edge products.  Wolf’s Hybrid Range currently contains 45 products for hybrid vehicles including 8 different specialty engine oils that offer an impressive 100% coverage of the hybrid car parc. 

As a result of rising fuel prices and environmental concerns, the hybrid vehicle market is now thriving and dedicated lubricants are required to maximise energy efficiency of these vehicles.  Automotive consultants Frost & Sullivan estimate that approximately 15 million hybrid EVs will be sold in Europe by 2025, accounting for 16.4% of the total passenger car market.  This is a 500% increase on 2019 sales figures.   

Hybrid vehicles introduce new powering architectures and engines that are characterized by; increasing system voltages, high copper contents, higher temperatures, new polymer materials and different or no friction requirements. To guarantee proper lubrication and to increase energy efficiency and engine performance, hybrid vehicles require dedicated lubricants that offer; appropriate electrical properties, assured corrosion protection, sufficient thermal transfer characteristics, compatibility with polymeric materials, oxidation and sludge control and high speed bearing protection. 

Wolf’s engineers have developed a range of lubricants designed for fuel-efficient, hybrid vehicles.  While most competitor SAE 0W-16 and 0W-20 hybrid engine oils fall under the API SN category, Wolf’s new SAE 0W-16 and 0W-20 hybrid engine oils are categorized under API SN Plus and SN/RC. They provide exceptional fuel economy performance for Asian car manufacturers such as Honda, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Toyota.

Wolf’s hybrid lubricants deliver an instant start up lubrication in cold conditions, minimising friction and start up wear.  Moreover, they reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, protecting the environment.

Some of the company’s unique engine oils for hybrid engines stocked by Serfac include:

WOLF ECOTECH 0W16 SP/RC G6 XFE, a full synthetic lubricant, carefully formulated to deliver outstanding engine protection with a low viscosity that makes for easy year-round operation, even during the coldest months of the year.
