SN 500 Base Oil Applications in Automotive Lubricants
Base Oil SN-500 is one of the most widely used Group I base oils in the automotive lubricant industry. Known for its excellent viscosity characteristics, SN-500 is a preferred choice for formulating engine oils, gear oils, and other lubricating products that require high performance under varying operating conditions.
In this article, we’ll explore how SN-500 is used in automotive lubricants, its technical specifications, and why procurement managers and formulators across India, UAE, and global markets trust Work and Energy Company as their go-to SN 500 base oil supplier.
What is SN 500 Base Oil?
Base Oil SN-500 is a Group I solvent neutral base oil derived from refining crude oil. With a higher viscosity than SN-150, SN-500 is ideal for blending lubricants that require thicker base stock. It provides good thermal and oxidation stability, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.

Applications of SN 500 Base Oil in Automotive Lubricants
SN-500 plays a vital role in the production of various automotive lubricant products, including:
1. Engine Oils
SN-500 is used as a base stock for both mono-grade and multi-grade engine oils. Its good thermal and oxidation stability ensures better performance under high engine temperatures.
2. Gear Oils
Its higher viscosity makes it suitable for formulating gear oils, especially for applications requiring extra film strength and protection under heavy loads.
3. Transmission Fluids
SN-500 contributes to smooth gear transitions and reduced wear in automatic and manual transmissions.
4. Hydraulic Oils
While primarily used in automotive lubricants, SN-500 can also be blended with additives to create hydraulic oils used in heavy vehicles and construction machinery.
5. Blending with Additives
SN-500 acts as a versatile carrier fluid for various performance-enhancing additives, including anti-wear agents, detergents, and dispersants.
