By OEM Update Editorial October 12, 2021 3:46 pm

Pandemic presented many challenges for the lubricants industry by impacting both the transportation and industrial sectors which Arabian Petroleum has successfully met and overcome.

Major economies of each region, affected due to the pandemic, resulted in slowdown activities across industries that use lubricants in their machineries and equipment. Transition to lower-viscosity oils to improve fuel economy in the case of engine oils remains a challenge for most of the lubricant companies in India. In the case of grease, most of the companies manufacture products that cannot withstand lower temperatures and become extremely viscous. It is vital to make sure that quality of products should not be compromised, which could lead to engine issues.
