Modern engines are becoming smaller, more powerful and more efficient, while technologies such as turbocharging, hybrid systems and advanced emission controls are placing greater demands on engine oil.
These developments directly shape the way Rymax approaches lubricant performance. Higher operating temperatures require stronger oxidation resistance, while catalytic converters and particulate filters need cleaner, low-SAPS formulations. Longer service intervals also demand oils that can maintain reliable protection for more kilometres without breaking down.
Another important development is the move towards lower-viscosity engine oils. Grades such as 0W-20, 0W-12 and 0W-8 reduce internal engine friction, helping improve fuel economy and lower CO₂ emissions.
To meet these changing requirements, Rymax have launched the Apollo XQ range at the end of 2025. Available in 0W-8 and 0W-12, Apollo XQ is developed for modern petrol and hybrid engines that require ultra-low-viscosity oils. The range meets the latest API SQ performance level and is designed to provide fast lubrication, excellent engine cleanliness and reliable protection under start-stop conditions.
Hybrid vehicles create additional challenges because their engines frequently switch on and off. This can increase cold-start wear, moisture build-up and fuel dilution. Rymax Apollo XQ helps protect these engines by circulating quickly during start-up and maintaining stable performance.
Heavy-duty engines face different demands, including soot contamination, sustained loads and high temperatures. Rymax also offers specialised heavy-duty lubricants designed to control soot, reduce wear and support longer engine life.
As engine technology continues to evolve, selecting the right oil is more important than ever. Whatever the demands of today’s engines, Rymax offers a lubricant solution developed to meet modern performance requirements.
