About Us

Revolution Synthetic Oil is South Africa’s first manufacturer of premium synthetic lubricants, setting the standard for performance and innovation in the industry.

The journey began on October 31, 2012, when Revolution Synthetic Oil produced its first liter of synthetic oil. Since then, the company has never looked back, now manufacturing approximately 40,000 liters of ultra-performance synthetic oils annually.

Founder Nicolas Georghiou, with over 20 years of industry expertise, firmly believes that Revolution’s lubricants are the most advanced ever developed in Africa. His philosophy is simple: "Use the best products, and you will get the best results."

Innovative Technology for Maximum Equipment Protection

Revolution Synthetic Oil was the first in Africa to pioneer fluorescent additive technology in lubricants. This cutting-edge innovation allows users to monitor equipment for leaks, oil levels, and contamination, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Additionally, all Revolution Oil products utilize the latest advancements in additive and base oil technology, delivering unmatched lubrication performance that surpasses conventional mineral and synthetic oils.

The Performance Benefits of High-Film-Strength Synthetic Oils

Rotating equipment, such as compressors, pumps, turbines, and gearboxes, operates under extreme pressures and speeds, where proper lubrication is critical for efficiency and longevity. High-film-strength synthetic oils provide superior protection and performance in these demanding environments by offering:

  • Enhanced Load-Carrying Capacity – High-film-strength lubricants create a robust protective barrier between metal surfaces, reducing friction and preventing wear, even under heavy loads and shock conditions.
  • Superior Thermal Stability – Synthetic oils maintain their viscosity and lubricating properties at high temperatures, preventing oil breakdown and sludge formation.
  • Reduced Energy Consumption – Lower friction and improved efficiency contribute to energy savings and reduced operating costs.
  • Extended Equipment Life – Reduced wear, corrosion protection, and superior lubrication result in longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs.
  • Improved Contamination Resistance – Advanced additive technology ensures better resistance to oxidation, water contamination, and particulate ingress, keeping equipment running cleaner and more efficiently.

By using high-film-strength synthetic lubricants from Revolution Synthetic Oil, industries can maximize equipment performance, minimize downtime, and achieve significant cost savings over time.
