Oils, lubes and additives 39 www.aftermarketonline.net MAY 2025 Zeller+Gmelin is continuing to expand its expertise in the field of heavy duty (HD) engine oils after receiving auto manufacturer approvals. Innovative new approvals confirmed by the lubricant producer include the Deutz DQC III-18 LA for the Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40 and the Volvo VDS-5, Renault RLD-5 and Mack EOS-5 for the Divinol Multimax LS-FE 5W-30. With these certifications, Zeller+Gmelin said it has become the first mediumsized company in the race for oil manufacturers to receive the Volvo VDS-5 approval. Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40 is a premium HD engine oil that was specially developed for the adverse requirements of the forestry, agricultural and construction industries. These industries often rely on Deutz engines, which are known for their robustness. The Deutz DQC III-18 LA approval now underlines the high quality of this engine oil. It is characterised by excellent thermal stability, which ensures a stable lubricating film even at high temperatures, according to Zeller+Gmelin. At the same time, the oil is said to offer reliable protection and easy handling at low temperatures. Thanks to its suitability according to the manufacturer’s specifications and beyond, the engine oil is ideal for demanding applications. Andreas Krapf (pictured), product manager for automotive/special vehicle products at Zeller+Gmelin, said: “With this Deutz approval and other existing approvals for Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40, we are emphasising our position as a reliable partner for applications that require the highest levels of resilience and performance.” Divinol Multimax LS-FE 5W-30: VDS 5 approval from Volvo & efficiency through modern engine oil technology Divinol Multimax LS-FE 5W30 is a modern, viscosityoptimised engine oil of the latest generation. It is based on low-SAPS technology and was specially developed for truck engines with the latest emission standards. With the Volvo VDS-5, Renault RLD-5 and Mack EOS-5 approvals, Zeller+Gmelin said this underlines its claim to the highest efficiency and sustainability in modern engine oil technology. The basis is the modern oil technology known as low-SAPS or low-ash. It comprises fewer sulphur and phosphorus-containing additives and tends to produce less ash. These properties ensure trouble-free and long-lasting operation of exhaust gas after-treatment systems such as catalytic converters and particle filters. The oil also offers a reduced HTHS viscosity, which enables fuel savings without compromising wear protection. The low emissions and resource-saving properties actively contribute to environmental protection. At the same time, extended oil change intervals ensure reduced operating costs and greater economic efficiency. Krapf said: “The worldwide use of exhaust aftertreatment systems such as catalytic converters and particle filters has significantly increased the demand for lowash, low-SAPS engine oils.” Both oils are widely used in highly stressed engines — from construction and agricultural machinery to modern trucks of the latest generation. In particular, the approvals for Volvo, Renault and Mack confirm the international competitiveness of Divinol products, Krapf said. “Our products combine modern technology with high performance, a long service life and excellent engine protection,” Krapf said. “Our solutions offer clear economic and ecological advantages, particularly in the transport and logistics sector. “With our developments and approvals, we guarantee our customers not only highquality products, but also clear economic and ecological advantages. It is important to us to contribute to increasing efficiency and sustainability in the commercial vehicle sector.” Since 1866, Zeller+Gmelin has been developing lubricants for vehicles and machines valued for their performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness Innovation gets green light to power ahead thanks to manufacturer approvals
