How do you go from a formula in the lab… to engine oil ready to hit the road? 🧪➡️🏁
Welcome to PLI’s Inside the Lab, the format where we take you behind the scenes of lubricants and fluid technology solutions, making technical topics easier to understand; one episode at a time.
In this first episode, we follow the journey of an engine oil: from the PETRONAS Global R&T Centre laboratories, where formulations are developed and tested, to mechanical testing, where performance is validated under real conditions, all the way to large-scale engine oil production.
Spoiler: no, it’s not “just oil.” It’s chemistry, precision, performance, and a lot of testing before it reaches the final pack.
👉 Follow us for the next episode of Inside the Lab.
