What is Base Oil SN150?
Base Oil SN150 is a Group I mineral base oil produced by solvent
extraction, dewaxing, and hydrofinishing of vacuum-distilled crude oil residue. “SN”
stands for Solvent Neutral; “150” marks its position at the light end of the SN
viscosity ladder, below mid-range grades such as SN350 and SN500. Zumrut’s SN150
typically tests at 19–24 cSt kinematic viscosity at 40°C, with a viscosity index of
100–110, giving it strong cold-flow and blending characteristics.
Cargo is available for lifting from our Iskenderun terminal on the Turkish
Mediterranean coast, or from Jebel Ali port in the UAE, so buyers can choose the
origin that best fits their freight lane and destination port.
Key Characteristics of SN150
Light Viscosity
Approximately 19–24 cSt at 40°C — thinner than SN350, SN500, and SN650, ideal for cold-flow-sensitive blends.
High Purity
Solvent extraction removes sulfur, aromatics, and other impurities, giving a clear, bright base stock.
Stable Performance
Good oxidation and thermal stability with moderate volatility across a wide operating range.
API Group I
Conventionally refined mineral oil per API classification, compatible with standard additive packages.

Applications of Base Oil SN150
Engine Oils
Light base stock for gasoline engine oil blends, especially in cold-start-sensitive formulations.
Hydraulic Fluids
Suitable for hydraulic systems operating in moderate to low ambient temperatures.
Gear Oils
Used in gear oil formulations that call for a lighter, more fluid base component.
Industrial Lubricants
Common in general-purpose machine oils and light industrial lubricant blends.
Rubber Process Oil Blending
Used as a softener/extender component alongside RPO in rubber compounding.
Metalworking Fluids
Base component in cutting and metalworking fluid formulations requiring low viscosity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “SN150” mean?
SN stands for Solvent Neutral, referring to the solvent-refining process. 150 refers to its position on the viscosity scale — the lightest of Zumrut’s standard SN grades.
What is the difference between SN150 and SN500?
SN150 has a much lower kinematic viscosity (19–24 cSt at 40°C) than SN500 (90–110 cSt), making it better suited to cold-start engine oils and light hydraulic fluids, while SN500 suits heavier-duty formulations.
Which API group is SN150 in?
SN150 is an API Group I base oil, refined through solvent extraction, solvent dewaxing, and hydrofinishing.
What packing options are available?
SN150 is available in new or used 180 kg steel drums, flexitanks, ISO tanks, or bulk vessel liftings, depending on order quantity and destination port.
Can I load from either Turkey or the UAE?
Yes. Zumrut loads SN150 from Iskenderun, Turkey and Jebel Ali, UAE, so you can choose the origin that best suits your freight lane and delivery timeline.
Do you provide COA and MSDS with every shipment?
Yes, every cargo is issued with a Certificate of Analysis, Material Safety Data Sheet, Certificate of Origin, and packing list prior to shipment.
What is the typical lead time for an SN150 order?
Standard lead time is 14–30 days from confirmed order, depending on packing type, quantity, and vessel or container availability.
