Gulf Oil Lubricants India, a Hinduja Group company, and a premier Indian lubricant manufacturer, takes a significant stride in enhancing its product portfolio for the Indian market by unveiling the globally acclaimed S-OIL Seven range through a strategic collaboration.

In this partnership, Gulf Oil will oversee the production, distribution, and promotion of premium OEM like KIA India dealer network. The comprehensive product lineup features a variety of Passenger Car Gasoline Engine oil variants and a Passenger Car Diesel Engine Oil variant.

Furthermore, Gulf has the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute the globally acclaimed S-OIL Seven range throughout its extensive network, actively bolstering the brand's reach and resonance within the Indian market. This marks the maiden venture where an S-OIL product line is being produced outside South Korea.

This exceptional range assures elevated technical performance and an enriched driving experience.

Our successful collaboration with S-OIL is a pioneering milestone as it marks the first time an S-OIL product is being manufactured beyond the borders of South Korea. This achievement brings advanced Korean technology to the forefront of Indian production capabilities, elevating industry standards. We are immensely delighted that the global partnership between S-Oil and KIA Motors India has materialized in India through our collaboration.
