Lotos – Tradition and Modernity
Established in the 1970s as the Gdańsk Refinery, Lotos quickly gained a reputation as one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the region. The company overcame the economic challenges of the 1980s and 1990s, beginning its resurgence in 1998 by expanding into both domestic and European markets. By 2020, the Lotos Group held a 33.2% share of the Polish fuel market with 522 stations nationwide. In 2022, Lotos merged with Orlen, creating Orlen-Lotos, one of the largest refinery companies in Central and Eastern Europe.
While Lotos is primarily known for its fuels, the company also produces a range of refined petroleum products, including mineral and synthetic engine oils. Dedicated research teams ensure that Lotos products meet stringent standards and satisfy the needs of demanding customers.
The merger between Lotos and Orlen has further enhanced product quality through collaborative research and technology exchange. This partnership has also modernized facilities, allowing Lotos to maintain its legacy of innovation established in the 1970s when it rivalled Western European and American refineries in sophistication.
Lotos Engine Oils – Products for Every Vehicle
The range of Lotos engine oils includes solutions for a variety of vehicles. Popular offerings include oils for passenger cars, delivery vans, and SUVs. For older engines, mineral oils such as Turdus 15W40, known for its high viscosity, improve sealing and enhance the performance of heavily worn engines. Once a staple for tractors and cars in Poland, Turdus 15W40 remains a reliable choice for vintage vehicles.
For modern engines, which require low-viscosity oils due to tighter tolerances, Lotos offers synthetic oils such as Quazar and Quazar Dynamic, available in grades from 0W20 to 10W40. For newer yet worn engines, semi-synthetic oils provide an ideal solution.
Special-purpose oils are also part of the Lotos product range. For cars with first-generation diesel particulate filters, the Aurum C3 5W40 is specifically formulated. The Diesel Fleet series caters to heavily loaded diesel engines, while Moto Power oils are ideal for motorcycles and small cars. For two-stroke engines, Lotos offers the Mixol oil.
For heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, Lotos produces oils tailored to high-capacity diesel engines. Mineral oils such as Turdus and Ibis, along with synthetic options like Turdus Powertec, provide reliable solutions for both older and modern engines.
