Facing Extreme Tests: Kunlun Lubricant’s “Military-Grade Quality” Escorts the CCPC

On December 8, the Kunlun Lubricant Cup · 2017 China Car Performance Competition came to a successful close in China’s “hometown of ice and snow,” Yakeshi. More than 40 mainstream automakers and 53 production models on sale from across the country formed a top-tier, extraordinarily strong national Class-A automotive competition, demonstrating China’s powerful manufacturing strength to the whole country and the world.
Behind the unprecedented success of the event are unsung heroes who contributed quietly — providing venue support, lubrication protection or data support — and poured great effort into the event’s successful conclusion. As the only officially designated oil of the 2017 CCPC, Kunlun Lubricant escorted the competing vehicles with its high-quality products of “military-grade quality, a pillar of the great nation.”
Three rounds in harsh environments demonstrate outstanding quality
From the chilling “devil city” Karamay, to the professional and demanding Yancheng · Dafeng, and then to the freezing “hometown of ice and snow” Yakeshi, the 2017 CCPC used three extreme environments to fully test the hardware and software strength of the competing vehicles, bringing consumers objective, authoritative and practical car-buying reference.
It is well known that when vehicles work for long periods in high-temperature environments, the performance of the lubrication system deteriorates and the engine shows signs of degradation. Especially in the face of Karamay’s scorching 30-degree heat and that round’s centerpiece — the roughly 360 km “long-distance fuel economy race” — choosing the wrong oil can easily cause oil pressure that is too low and damage the engine. Here, with its proprietary technology, Kunlun Lubricant can greatly reduce the friction coefficient, ensuring that the oil keeps the engine well lubricated even in high-temperature environments; its super-strong “anti-wear” performance helped the drivers race at full speed, injecting passion and vitality into the gobi wasteland of Karamay.
At the Dafeng round’s high-speed ring race, with top speeds reaching 300 km/h, the demands on lubricant quality were even more stringent: how to ensure the engine and transmission operate perfectly and deliver their maximum effectiveness makes the blending of lubricant viscosity decisive. Facing this new challenge, Kunlun Lubricant again demonstrated military-grade quality; its ultra-high-purity synthetic base oil ensures that the engine delivers power continuously and steadily under extreme speed conditions. On the fastest high-speed ring among third-party proving grounds in Asia today, Kunlun Lubricant’s stable and efficient performance drew unanimous praise.
From scorching heat to bitter cold, in the closing Yakeshi round of the 2017 CCPC the local minus 30-degree extreme cold test made competing vehicles hesitate; after all, ordinary lubricants become less viscous and less fluid as temperatures drop, so friction resistance increases when vehicle parts move, often making cold starting difficult or even leaving the car stranded. Facing the ultimate challenge, Kunlun Lubricant “drew its sword” again: its oil of extremely high cleanliness with very low density, relying on outstanding low-temperature high-fluidity performance, ensures the engine delivers high-level performance in extreme cold and feeds the competing vehicles with an endless stream of power.
After the 2017 CCPC concluded successfully in Yakeshi, Wang Yanlong from Beijing, winner of the Kunlun Lubricant King of Racing Challenge at this round, said afterwards: “Kunlun Lubricant has very high lubricity; throughout the whole race the engine sounded very smooth at both high and low temperatures, and there was no noticeable damping even at extremely high rpm — I think that’s one reason it helped me win the title.” He also pointed out that as a domestic brand, Kunlun Lubricant “understands China’s road and vehicle conditions better than overseas products; its military-grade oil quality truly lives up to its name, and the results are very satisfactory.”
In addition, professional drivers in the professional group, when speaking about the lubricant used in the event, were equally full of praise for Kunlun Lubricant’s oil performance: “The lubricant market is currently a mixed bag of brands with wildly uneven product quality; using many inferior oils causes engine failures and vehicle accidents. At the Yakeshi circuit of minus 30 degrees, any slight flaw in the oil would increase friction between vehicle parts and very easily cause problems, but Kunlun Lubricant’s high low-temperature fluidity overcomes this difficulty well, giving drivers peace of mind.”
National brand supports the event with foresight and vision
Behind a successful event there are often many supporters.
From the designated oil for the 60th anniversary National Day parade to emerging industries represented by high-speed rail and robotics, Kunlun Lubricant, as the national team of China’s lubricant industry, has always adhered to an independent-formulation R&D path and innovation-driven development, winning multiple national awards in fields such as gear oil and internal combustion engine oil and filling the gap of national awards in China’s lubricant sector. This time, hoping to jointly raise the professional level of the CCPC and advance China’s auto industry, Kunlun Lubricant officially “moved in” to the 2017 CCPC as title sponsor from June this year, providing safety assurance for the event with strictly military-grade quality products.
“Lubricant is the blood of a vehicle; you must choose not only high quality but also green and healthy products — we need more capable, strong enterprises like Kunlun Lubricant to be the assurance force of national professional events like the CCPC.” The 2017 CCPC organizer said frankly that it highly recognizes Kunlun Lubricant’s creation of the Kunlun Lubricant King of Racing Challenge at this edition: “Enterprises cannot consider only their own economic interests; they should also give back to society. This Kunlun Lubricant King of Racing Challenge is a stage for grassroots drivers nationwide who love motorsport to show themselves, which fully reflects Kunlun Lubricant’s foresight and vision as a Chinese national brand in corporate culture and market awareness.” Many of the drivers taking part also suggested that not only in competition but also in daily life, “when choosing oil you should choose a trustworthy, socially responsible enterprise like Kunlun.”
Since it began production in 2005, Kunlun Lubricant has been dedicated to providing consumers with trustworthy, high-quality products, and today it has witnessed and represented the growth and strength of Made in China. It is not hard to see that supporting the successful conclusion of the 2017 CCPC is a microcosm of Kunlun Lubricant’s multi-faceted market expansion as a leader among national lubricant brands; in the future, Kunlun Lubricant will continue to provide safety assurance for every consumer and, together with automotive enterprises at home and abroad, unite strength and move forward hand in hand to build the future together.
