MAN Genuine Oil: Reduced friction, greater efficiency

The optimal set-up of all the component parts is what really matters when it comes to engines and technology. MAN Genuine parts fulfil this requirement. MAN Genuine Oil rounds off the quality package offered by MAN: It demonstrably provides optimal protection for engines, gearboxes, drive axles and transfer cases against wear and tear and the build-up of deposits, and contributes to an increased service life and reduced total cost of ownership.

“Runs like clockwork” – that on its own is not enough

The complex technology involved in modern engines necessitates special oils that are able to fulfil the technical and chemical demands placed on them by MAN vehicles. The automotive technology and the oil must work together perfectly – even under extreme conditions and when in constant use. MAN Genuine Oils provide optimal protection against wear and tear for MAN vehicles and thus allow for long service intervals. At the same time, they also contribute to a longer service life for engines, gearboxes and axles, and a lower total cost of ownership. MAN Genuine quality oil can also lead to lower fuel consumption and a reduction in CO 2 emissions.

We have done the practical testing

over the course of many years and millions of kilometres. We tested various types of oils for engines, gearboxes, drive axles and transfer cases. And only the oils that proved themselves optimally suitable have been given the go-ahead for use with our MAN vehicles.

The MAN Genuine anti-freeze and anti-corrosion agent in front of a fleet of MAN models.

Fill up and go

The ready-to-use anti-corrosion agent and antifreeze is already pre-mixed with water. This ensures that misapplications that could, in the worst cases, lead to engine failure can be avoided. The water used for dilution does not form lime deposits in the cooling circuit, is free from nitrites, amines and phosphates (NAP-free) and is therefore environmentally friendly.

Why should you use MAN Genuine anti-corrosion and anti-freeze liquid?

  • Protects metals and alloys in the cooling circuit: aluminium, cast iron, steel and brass.
  • High heat capacity ensures optimal cooling and prevents overheating.
  • Compatible with sealants and coatings.
  • Suitable for all engines of all emission levels.
