GROUP III BASE OIL Group III base oils are subjected to the highest level of mineral oil refining of the base oil groups. Although they are not chemically engineered, they offer good performance in a wide range of attributes as well as good molecular uniformity and stability. They are commonly mixed with additives and marketed as synthetic or semi-synthetic products. Group III base oils have become more common in America in the last decade. Grades - 60N , 70N 100N 150N and 250N named according to their viscosity(cSt) at 100 These products are very high VI base oils produced under all-hydro processing route (hydro cracking, wax hydro isomerization and hydro finishing). The isomerization process and severe hydro cracking and hydro finishing process almost completely removes impurities and saturates aromatics to only a traceable level. These base oils are also claimable as “synthetic” according to the ruling by the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus and have the following characteristics, which closely match conventional synthetics like PAOs. Very high viscosity index TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
