GS OIL – Kixx

In November 2007, GS Caltex began base oil production with 16,000BPSD capacity.

As of 2010, its production capacity holds 23,000 BPSD; GS Caltex expanded its

base oil production capacity to 26,000 BPSD through revamping of its Base Oil

Plant in 2011. By using the latest cutting edge hydrocracking technology, GS

Caltex produces high quality environment-friendly base oil which satisfies

challenging specifications of lubricant manufacturers. GS Caltex has been

exporting more than 70% of its total base oil production to overseas. As base

oil demand in Asia continuously increases, GS Caltex aims to be the influential

and dominant supplier of high quality base oil in Asia through further

expansions and improvements.

The need for lubricant marketers to meet more stringent regulatory standards and

challenging specifications is growing. The ongoing shift to higher quality

automotive lubricants is driven mainly by the automobile industry’s increasingly

demanding requirements such as severe vehicle emission standards. Industrial

demand is also moving towards HVI hydraulic fluids and high oxidation stability

turbine oils. Since more than 80% of the content of lubricants consists of base

oil, higher quality base oil is essential in producing higher quality

lubricants. GS Caltex Group II/III base oil can give the optimal solution for

top quality lubricants which conventional base oils are not able to provide.

Through ingenuity in facility design, GS Caltex has the flexibility to control

the desired amount of production of Group II and Group III base oil. GS Caltex

can also produce high quality heavy grade base oil to replace white Oil and

bright stock. GS Caltex Group II/III base oil has excellent low temperature

properties and exceptionally bright white clear transparent qualities. The Group

II/III base oil produced by GS Caltex is environment-friendly with low

volatility, reducing oil consumption and improving fuel economy. And GS Caltex

offers high thermal and oxidation stability to support drain interval extension.

All these advantages are the result from the latest cutting edge hydrocracking

technology. These benefits help GS Caltex adapt more efficiently to changing

market conditions and generate greater customer satisfaction.Kixx LUBO, the new

name in base oil, is a combination of the GS Caltex family brand Kixx and lube

base oil. The Kixx name originates from the etymology of “kick” to describe
