From #smallbeginnings to a #everlasting successfull business today - our history is nothing less than special and we would love to share it with you. Here is a small #throwback to the very beginning, starting out as Special Products in 1994 to the well-known, Western Cape Lubricants Pty LTD as it stands today. "In 1994, Western Cape Lubricants' owner, Ziegfriedt Loots noticed that initially Fuchs/Wmpenn oils were not available in the Western Cape and that motivated him to start a business to specialize in those products. The business was called Special Products. Ziegfriedt, his wife Hannetjie and a driver started the marketing and sales of the oils. Ziegfriedt Loots is well-known in the oil industry as he was previously owner of a Shell and BP petrol station for 12 years. He completed his engineering education as Mechanical Engineer by Ford in Port Elizabeth. In 1999, he began to build the well-known Monster Truck, Titan which was used to promote the Fuchs/Wm Penn market. Titan is used in the majority of Western Cape Lubricants marketing to this day. 29 Years later and the business is still growing, making a huge positive impact in the lubricant and oil industry. Continuous professional services towards customers are valuable to the Western Cape Lubricants team. With 22 dedicated staff members (still growing) who forms the backbone of our total Customer Service Policy.

Good quality synthetic oil plays a significant role in ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of an engine. Here are some key reasons why good quality synthetic oil is important: Engine protection: Synthetic oils are designed to offer superior lubrication and protection to the engine components. They have a consistent molecular structure, which provides better resistance to heat and oxidation compared to conventional mineral oils. This helps reduce engine wear, prevents friction-related damage, and extends the life of critical engine parts. Improved engine performance: Synthetic oils have excellent flow properties, even in extreme temperatures. They provide quick lubrication to engine components during cold starts, minimizing wear and tear. Moreover, synthetic oils reduce friction, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently. This can lead to improved power output, fuel economy, and overall performance. Extended oil change intervals: Synthetic oils typically have better resistance to thermal breakdown, which means they can last longer without losing their lubricating properties. As a result, using high-quality synthetic oil can help extend the oil change intervals, saving you time and money on frequent oil changes. Reduced deposit formation: Synthetic oils contain fewer impurities and have a higher detergent and dispersant additive content compared to conventional oils. This helps prevent the formation of sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits in the engine, keeping critical engine parts clean and reducing the risk of blockages or restricted oil flow. Compatibility with modern engine technologies: Synthetic oils are formulated to meet the requirements of modern engines, including those with turbochargers, direct injection systems, and hybrid powertrains. These advanced engine technologies place higher demands on engine oils, and good quality synthetic oils are specifically engineered to meet these demands, providing the necessary protection and performance benefits. Cold weather performance: Synthetic oils offer excellent cold weather performance due to their low pour points and better viscosity characteristics at low temperatures. They flow more easily, ensuring faster lubrication during cold starts and reducing engine wear during critical start-up periods. It is important to note that not all synthetic oils are of the same quality. Choosing a reputable brand and following the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific vehicle is crucial to ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic oil that meets the required specifications and standards.
