Kixx products: oil. Reviews, specifications, rating, manufacturer

Often, car owners have a limited budgetfor the purchase of original lubricants. In this case, there is a solution - the purchase of oils from third-party manufacturers, which can be cheaper. One of the good options - oil Kixx, reviews of which the network is somewhat contradictory. Types of products of this manufacturer, features and benefits - all this we will consider in this article.

Types of motor oils Kixx

The Korean brand GS Caltex Corporation is engaged in the production of lubricants for various equipment. Including he produces engine oil Kixx, the reviews of which will be presented below.

The product range of the manufacturer includes not only car oils, but also industrial bases. In total, there are 3 types of products for power unit assemblies:

1. Oils for engines.
2. Lubricants.
3. Fluids for transmissions.

Kixx motor oils are sold for diesel andpetrol engines and are delivered to the market in various viscosities. Also among the manufacturer's products are lubricants on three bases: semi-synthetic, synthetic and mineral. However, there is nothing new here, because each manufacturer on the market is ready to offer a different base of lubricants. It is also logical that the manufacturer also develops additives, including them in its products. Additives improve the characteristics of oils, so their presence in the composition is almost mandatory.

Nomenclature

The nomenclature of sold oils intended for gasoline engines has quite a few units:

1. PAO, PAO 1. These are fully synthetic products with a viscosity of 0W40, 5W30, 5W40. The oil of Kixx data nomenclature is first-class.
2. G1, G2, Dexos 1. This line of synthetic greases viscosity of 10W40, 5W20, 5W40, 5W50, 5W30. Kixx oils of this line contain additives to reduce the dependence of viscosity on the air temperature in the street.
3. Gold SL, SJ, SF / CF.

For engines operating on diesel fuel, the nomenclature of oils is different:

1. D1;
2. SUV;
3. Dynamic CF-4, CH-4, CG-4;
4. DX and PAO DX.

All of these listed lubricants have different bases, additive packages, tolerances, and the formulas used.

Transmission korean oils for cars Kixx

GS Caltex also supplies transmission fluids for various units:

1. Mechanical transmission.
2. Reducers.
3. Variators.
4. Hand-out boxes.
5. Mostov.
6. Automatic transmissions.

All products for these plants have differentformulas that take into account the features of the structure of the mechanisms. The manufacturer in any case in the technical characteristics of the oils indicates the specifications and tolerances for which particular units are intended for those or other oils.

Tolerances

Oils have different manufacturers' tolerances. Among products on the market from Kixx, each owner will find the lubricant that will suit his brand of car.

Most brand products meetinternational quality standards ILSAC, API, SAE, MIL, PSF, SCEA. This means that the bases and additives are of high quality. Together they create an efficient and reliable Kixx oil. Reviews of car owners confirm this and talk about its effective use on different models of cars. However, it is fair to say that not all of the company's products meet the requirements of manufacturers. The PAO series, for example, corresponds to the BMW LL-0.1 standard, and the lubricant G1 does not.

Basics

Like any other oil producer, the Korean brand also uses three fundamentals:

1. Synthetic.
2. Semisynthetic.
3. Mineral.

The most qualitative and effective is thesynthetic lubricant, which is made from selected base fluids. By special chemical operations, the hydrocarbons contained in the oil are converted to the finished product. Special additives are added to them, as a result of which the liquid acquires the necessary performance properties. The molecular structure of such a product is stable and strong, so that the synthetic oil withstands high loads and high / low temperatures. Also it is resistant to oxidation, friction, wear.

Semisynthetic oil is a mixture in a certain proportion of the mineral and synthetic base. Such Kixx oils are recommended for older engines and older engines.

Mineral oils of this manufacturer, like everyone elseOther lubricants on this basis have an unstable molecular structure. They can evaporate during engine operation, burn and are extremely sensitive to low temperatures. Note that similar products from Kixx are among the cheapest on the market.

Additives

Additives to improve the properties of oils a lot. Manufacturer Kixx uses the following:

• detergents;
• anti-foam;
• viscous;
• dispersed;
• anti-wear;
• extreme pressure;
• antioxidant.

Some of these additives can be used indifferent products from Kixx. For example, oils for old motors (semisynthetic) contain dispersed additives - these are special additives that soften solid impurities formed inside the engine. Due to their use, the level of dirt inside the ICE is reduced, the soot dissolves.

Anti-seize additives reduce the load onengine, reducing the frictional force between active pairs. Antioxidant additives are contained in all oils of this manufacturer. As a result of using this "chemistry" the stability of the oil rises, and the oxidative processes, if not stopped at all, are greatly slowed down.

There are also detergents (detergents) that prevent the formation of carbon deposits, carbon deposits and oxide compounds.

Advantages of Kixx products

Note that the engine oils of this manufacturer have both advantages and disadvantages. We will start with the advantages. According to reviews, Kixx oil has such advantages:

1. A low price compared to the well-known brands.
2. Large range of products. Always there is an opportunity to carry out selection of oil on the car brand with the necessary viscosity and an additive package.
3. High operating temperature range.
4. Reducing wear of friction pairs.
5. Good performance.

It is also possible to distinguish a good degree of protection fromfakes. The product canisters have strong labels that can not be easily torn off. To get rid of it, you have to tear it off with pieces. A foil membrane is also used on the neck with the image of the GS Oil emblem. Also, it is worth considering that this product on the Russian market is a rarity, so the probability of buying a counterfeit is low.

disadvantages

Cons are always the case. For the same user reviews, you can identify such negative points:

1. Unstable structure. This disadvantage is less of a synthetic product, which a priori has a uniform molecular structure.
2. High consumption. In some models of cars, the oil is burned, which may require refilling the grease as the car is used.

When selecting the oil by the car brand you needto study the characteristics corresponding to the manufacturers standards. The most popular lubricant for belt driven motors is Kixx 5W40 oil, which is capable of operating in wide temperature ranges.

Also there are many user reviews that it is very uncomfortable to pour oil. If you try to fill it without a watering can, then the entire engine can be very dirty.

Product Reviews

Oils of Korean brand viscosity of 5W40, 5W30 and10W40 became very popular among car owners because of the good characteristics suitable for the Russian climate. In addition, the price of Kixx oil is lower compared to some oils of famous brands. Lubricants of this brand are able to effectively replace the oils that are recommended by car manufacturers and who often try to fill in official service centers.

In winter, the drivers are popular with oilwith a viscosity of 5W30, thanks to which, as the car owners themselves note, the engine starts quickly and smoothly. However, there are also negative reviews. Customers note the combustion of oil in engines with good mileage. This allows us to conclude that the oil is more suitable for new engines. But the combustion and volatility of the oil is peculiar to the belt motors, but in the chain engines this is not revealed.

For summer and winter use suitableoil Kixx 10W40. It is recommended to be used together with the engines with mileage. It collects good user reviews, but it's very difficult to run the motor at -30 degrees on the street.

Conclusion

If you make a conclusion about the manufacturer and aboutthe product as a whole, then Kixx oils can not be called the best. This category of oils belongs to the middle price segment and is more popular among drivers whose cars have a good mileage. In fact, Kixx is a competitor to the Korean brand ZIC.

Note that there is no one-sidedpositive opinion on the quality of products of GS Oil. Some respond well, others - bad. Therefore, it is difficult to make an unambiguous conclusion. In any case, if previously you have not encountered this product, and in the instructions to the car this oil is not indicated as recommended, then it should not be flooded. But if it is recommended by a workshop technician specifically for your engine type, you can try using it. In the event that the product goes into a fire or the engine starts to work suspiciously loud, you can replace it.
