Common Group II Base Oil Grades in South Afria - We Offer
- Group II N70 Base Oil - N70 Base Oil is a relatively light-viscosity Group II grade. It can be considered for low-viscosity lubricant and specialty-fluid formulations where a lighter base stock is required.
- Group II N100 Base Oil - N100 Base Oil is another light Group II grade used where a relatively low-viscosity base stock is needed. Published specifications place its viscosity at approximately 3.8–4.3 cSt at 100°C, although specifications can vary by supplier.
- Group II N150 Base Oil - N150 Base Oil is one of the most widely recognized Group II grades. Typical published specifications show a viscosity of around 5.0–5.6 cSt at 100°C, with a viscosity index commonly around 95–110.
- Group II N220 Base Oil - N220 Base Oil is a medium-to-higher viscosity Group II grade. Published Argus specifications indicate approximately 6.1–6.7 cSt at 100°C and a viscosity index of around 95–110.
- Group II N500 Base Oil - N500 Base Oil is a higher-viscosity Group II base stock used in formulations requiring greater viscosity and film-forming characteristics. Typical published specifications place its viscosity around 10–12 cSt at 100°C.
- Group II N600 Base Oil - N600 Base Oil is an extra-heavy Group II grade. Published specifications show viscosity around 11.7–12.65 cSt at 100°C, although the precise range depends on the producer and specification.

FAQs
What is Group II Base Oil?
Group II Base Oil is a highly refined mineral base stock characterized by high saturation and relatively low sulphur content. It is widely used as a raw material for automotive and industrial lubricant formulations.
What is Group II Base Oil used for?
It is used in products such as engine oils, diesel lubricants, hydraulic oils, gear oils, transmission fluids, industrial oils and selected grease formulations.
What is the difference between Group I and Group II Base Oil?
Group II generally has higher saturates, lower sulfur, and better oxidative stability than Group I. Group I and Group II should not automatically be treated as direct one-for-one substitutes because their properties and formulation behavior can differ.
How do I select the right Group II Base Oil grade?
Start with the finished lubricant’s required viscosity and performance specifications. Then evaluate viscosity index, pour point, volatility, oxidation stability, sulfur, saturates, additive compatibility, and application requirements.
Is Group II Base Oil suitable for industrial lubricants?
Yes. Group II base oils can be used in several industrial lubricant formulations, including hydraulic fluids, gear lubricants, and other industrial products, depending on the formulation and performance requirements.
