What is RC Base Oil?

RC Base Oil typically refers to Refined Crude Base Oil or Recycled Base Oil — depending on regional terminology — and is a Group I base oil. These base oils are produced through solvent refining processes and contain relatively higher levels of sulfur, aromatic compounds, and unsaturated hydrocarbons compared to higher Group II/III base oils.

They are widely used in blending lubricants, especially for applications not requiring ultra-high purity, such as:

  • Automotive lubricants
  • Hydraulic fluids
  • Greases
  • Transformer oils
  • Industrial oils

The Importance of Using SN150 Recycled Base Oil in Macedonia

Relevance to Macedonia

As a candidate country for EU membership, North Macedonia is aligning with EU environmental policies, including waste oil management and recycling. Using recycled SN150 helps the country:

  • Meet sustainability and waste reduction goals.
  • Encourage local recycling and re-refining initiatives.
  • Strengthen energy security by reducing dependence on imports.
