DAR understands that, to get the best out of your engine, you need to put the RIGHT lubricant in SPECIFIC to YOUR vehicle. And there is no better choice than DAR’s extensive range of Automotive Lubricants.

DAR Automotive Lubricants has developed into a key division and we are proud of a wealth of knowledge gained from years of service in the industry. This experience empowers us to source superior automotive lubricants from the world’s most respected manufacturers that are specifically formulated to the highest quality and standards to satisfy the values, needs and expectations of our customers and their engines, ensuring continual protection, prolonged life and optimal performance. In addition to the knowledge acquired, DAR has developed innovative systems to ensure that when ordering your lubricants from us, we use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to identify the correct lubricant range (according to specification) for your vehicle.

During the last few years, we have witnessed several vital changes take place within the passenger motor oil market. A giant stride in the level of quality towards technologically enhanced, high-performance lubricants were made. Followed by delivering outstanding engine protection and durability, these lubricants also provide a response to the environmental challenge by increasing fuel efficiency and contributing to the reduction of harmful emissions. DAR’s product range is adapted to cover the needs of modern vehicles, requiring tailor-made lubricants meeting OEM approvals and/or OEM specification. Our offer also includes an extended range of specific lubricants for previous-generation vehicles, which also needs adaption protection delivered by carefully balanced formulations. Our Transmission and Brake/Levelling/Steering Fluids satisfy the most stringent application conditions and diverse performance requirements.

DAR provides the South African Automotive Industry with a comprehensive range of technology-enriched premium quality lubricants, at competitive prices to ensure joint success with our customers.
