1. BIZOL is German Made

2. Many Oils in America are labeled
“Synthetic,” but are you sure that is what
you’re actually getting?
 Rules in Germany and USA are vastly different. In the USA, mineral
oil only has to have a minimum of 10% synthetic oil added to be
considered a semi-synthetic or a synthetic blend. In some cases
these are sometimes labeled synthetic, which is allowed by USA
law.
 The USA is the only major market where these mixed oils can be
labeled as so allowing the manufacturers to undercut the price of
true synthetic oils.
 Strict German standards for “synthetic motor oils” will not allow you
to label something synthetic unless it is a true synthetic oil. This
means Group III & IV oils are the only oils that can be labeled
synthetic. This results in 100% consumer transparency and
protection.

3. What Makes a Quality Motor Oil?
 If you want your engine to last, don’t be cheap – your vehicle wasn’t.
It might meet API specifications, but that doesn’t mean much.
 Oil has to do many jobs within the engine where no one can see
what is happening.
 Choose oil that is matched to your specific application and should
meet or exceed the manufacturer’s specifications.
 The truth lies within the physical characteristics of your Oils
Viscosity Index and its Total Base Number.

4. Comparing BIZOL’s Viscosity Index to its
Competitors
 Physics teach us that
as a fluid heats up its
viscosity changes by
making it thinner.
 The higher viscosity
index your oil has, the
more stable and
effective it will be
across a wide range of
temperatures.

5.  Temperature has a big effect on viscosity.
 Viscosity determines film thickness and film strength.
 The lower the viscosity, or too thin, the more friction and wear on the engine.
 Oils with higher viscosity indices thin less at higher temperatures.
The Higher the Viscosity Index the Flatter the Line

6. Comparing BIZOL’s Total Base Number to
its Competitors
 TBN (Total Base Number) – A measure of the lubricant’s reserve alkalinity.
 TBN determines how effective the control of acids formed will be during the combustions process.
 The higher the number the better the oil is at neutralizing acid build up in your car’s engine.

7. BIZOL Exceeds ACEA TBN Standards
 ACEA – European
Automobile
Manufacturers’
Association.
 ACEA standards
recognize that European
engines differ from US
style engines.
 The ACEA defines the
minimum quality level of
oils that ACEA members,
such as MB, VW &
BMW, demand for using
these oils in their
vehicles.

8.  BIZOL Exceeds API and ACEA standards.
 The latest API (American Petroleum Institute) specifications have hardly any of the
characteristics that are required by European Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
 The ACEA have set standards that outstrip API standards and are used by the European OEMs.

9. Latest OEM Specifications
 Besides the ACEA standards, German OEMs also have specific requirements to meet
their engine specifications.
 BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the VW group (Audi, Porsche and VW) not only specify, but
give approvals only when the motor oil meets their own strict guidelines and
specifications for Safety and Performance.
 BIZOL motor oils have approvals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the VW group.

10. OEM APPROVALS
• There is no single oil that does everything. BIZOL specializes the blend for each vehicle
application.
• BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the VW group (Audi, Porsche and VW) not only specify, but
give approvals only when the motor oil meets their own strict guidelines and specifications
for Safety and Performance.
• BIZOL has approvals from all major European Manufacturers.
