Barol manufactures a full range of automotive and industrial lubricants, including fully synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oils for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, heavy-duty diesel engine oils, motorcycle oils (JASO MA2), transmission fluids, industrial hydraulic and gear oils, marine lubricants, and specialty oilfield chemicals.

All products meet or exceed leading international specifications — API, ACEA, JASO, ISO and key OEM approvals.

Yes. The Barol Shield range is fully certified to current API specifications — Shield 0W-20 meets API SP, and Shield 5W-30 meets API SN/CF and ACEA A3/B4. Each batch is laboratory tested for viscosity, oxidation stability, wear protection and additive consistency before release.

Certificates of analysis and product data sheets are available on request for any product line.

MOQ depends on the product line and packaging format. For private label and bulk orders, a standard container load (20-ft FCL) typically applies. For standard branded products, smaller pallet-quantity orders are available within the UAE and GCC.

We currently supply distributors and B2B buyers across 40+ countries, with strong markets in the GCC, Africa, South Asia, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. All exports ship from Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), Dubai.

We handle full export documentation including COA, MSDS, certificate of origin, and packing lists for customs clearance.

Always start with your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation in the owner's manual — viscosity grades like 0W-20, 5W-30, or 5W-40 are specified based on engine tolerances and operating climate.

In the Gulf and hot-climate markets, 5W-30 and 5W-40 are the most common passenger-car grades. For modern Japanese and Korean engines with low-friction tolerances, 0W-20 is increasingly required for fuel economy.

Technically yes — modern synthetic and mineral oils within the same API specification are chemically compatible and can be mixed in an emergency without engine damage. However, mixing reduces the performance advantages of the synthetic oil (oxidation resistance, extended drain intervals, cold-start protection).

For best results, stick to one viscosity grade and oil type throughout the service interval.

We work with experienced lubricant distributors who have established channels in their territory. The process typically involves: (1) initial market discussion, (2) territory and volume agreement, (3) trial order, (4) authorized distributor certification.

Distributors receive exclusive territory pricing, marketing support, technical documentation, and co-branded promotional materials. Reach out via the contact form to start the conversation.

Yes. VANOL FZE offers private-label manufacturing for distributors and brand owners who want to build their own lubricant brand without operating a plant. Services include custom formulation, packaging design support, label printing, and full export documentation.

Typical lead time is 4–6 weeks from artwork approval. Minimum order is one container load per SKU.

Standard packaging across most product lines includes 1L, 4L, 5L, 20L pails, 208L drums, and 1000L IBCs. Custom sizes are available for private-label orders.

All retail packaging features tamper-evident closures, QR-coded batch traceability, and high-resolution branding suitable for shelf display.
