How is a Lubricant made?
A lubricant is made in a blending plant. There, the base oils (which may constitute up to 99% of the lubricant, by volume) are mixed together with specially selected additives. Before blending, the base oil is purified by filtration and removal of water; after blending the finished product is subjected to quality control checks in the plant’s laboratory before being approved for packing and dispatch.
