What is Base Oil – SN500?
SN 500 is a light grade base oil at the upper end of the specifications for Grade I base oils. They are mainly used in lubricant production.
It is a Group I base oil that has undergone solvent refining and dewaxing processes. It is the workhouse ingredient for formulators and blenders of lubricants for passengers and commercial vehicles, as well as industrial applications. This oil has no impurities or compounds that can have an adverse effect on the quality of the oil.
Originating in the 1930s, the least refined type which is produced by Solvent Refining. It usually consists of conventional petroleum base oils. An improvement to the refining process in the 1960s called hydro-treating made this base oil more stable, less reactive, and longer-lasting than the earlier base oils.
API defines group I as “base stocks contain less than 90 percent saturates and/or greater than 0.03 percent sulfur and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120”.

Storage
Storing lubricants preferably indoor and if not possible, outdoor under cover away from direct sun light, rain and snow falls will maximize lubricant life time. Avoid temperature fluctuations, maintaining storage temperature around 25 ℃ will be of great help to lubricant quality protection.
