| Radio Oil is proud to
have become the 1st distributor for Petro-Canada America Lubes in the Northeastern United
States.Serving Central & Southern New England |
Since the company was founded in 1975, Petro-Canada has accumulated
assets in excess of $6 billion (Cdn) and has gained a leading position in virtually every
phase of the Canadian oil industry - exploration, research, production, refining and
marketing.

As a recognized global leader in lubricant technology, Petro-Canada blends and packages
more than 350 lubricant products that are exported into virtually every industrialized
country in the world. Their patented 2-Stage Severe Hydrocracking process produces
lubricant base oils that are crystal-clear
99.5+ % pure a level impossible to
achieve with traditional solvent refining. This process, which yields finished lubricants
with synthetic-like performance, is one of the many advantages that have made Petro-Canada
a world leader in product innovation.

In 1996, Petro-Canada took this process one step further. They replaced the solvent
dewaxing step with a more modern wax conversion process
Hydroisomerization.
When employed with Petro-Canadas Severe Hydrocracking process, Hydroisomerization
dewaxing yields base oils with the following beneficial features:
- Very
High Viscosity Index (100 to 130)
- Low
Volatility
- Better
Biodegradability
- Superior
Oxidation Resistance
- High
Thermal Stability
- Excellent
Low Temperature Fluidity
- Low
Toxicity
These features give performance characteristics in finished lubricants very similar to
synthetics, but at significantly lower prices!
Traditional solvent refined base oils are considered to be only "80% PURE"
due to their approximate level if impurities (aromatics) being 20%. Petro-Canadas
Severely Hydrocracked base oils are termed "99.5+ % PURE" due to the virtual
elimination of aromatic molecules.
