Hydraulic oils keep your equipment running smoothly by reducing friction and wear. Learn what they are, how they work, and why choosing the right one matters for performance and longevity.

Ever felt lost in your engine oil's data sheet? TBN (Total Base Number) is key to making better choices for your engine’s health and longevity.

Rymax Lubricants continues its path of growth. The post-Covid year 2023 has pushed results and expansion to new countries, as well as the introduction of new products and a brand-new packaging line.

The engine oil in your engine makes sure that all moving parts within an engine are lubricated and protected. When the oil is flowing through the openings within the engine, pressure is build up. This pressure makes sure that the oil reaches all parts and corners of the engine. In the worst case your entire engine could break down and would need to be replaced. That is why it is very important that your engine has the right amount of oil pressure. 

It is indicated by their names that heavy-duty oils, which are oils used for commercial transport, agriculture or mining equipment (also known as HDDEO’s) and passenger car oils are used for different purposes.

A race car requires different products and care than a daily car. Whereas a normal car is designed for everyday use, where benefits like fuel economy and comfort play an important role, a race car is designed to get the maximum results from the car with a very specific purpose in mind. Often the chassis, tyres, engine, suspension, interior, and aerodynamics have been adjusted to obtain the best results. Usually the materials in a race car are more sensitive and require the best products available. Using a product with slightly different specifications than required can result in a bad performance or even damaged or broken parts.

​There are many discussions about whether nitrogen or compressed air is better to use in your tires. Using nitrogen is known for certain benefits such as a more stable tire pressure over the long term, less changes in pressure with different temperatures and fuel saving.

​Oil pressure is determined by the resistance oil faces when flowing through the oil passages of the engine. Oil pressure is indicated by the oil pressure gauge and should show a steady value around 20 minutes after engine start-up, when the oil has reached its operating temperature. The unit of measurement is either PSI or Bar.

Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch applications in vehicles. It is responsible for transferring force into pressure, and to amplify braking force. Simply stated, when you apply your foot to the brake pedal, brake fluid transfers this force into pressure to the front and rear brakes and stops the vehicle. It works because liquids are incompressible.
