ZIC BRAND STORY

ZIC — Korea’s first lubricant brand

ZIC is SK enmove’s flagship lubricant brand and the first lubricant brand born in South Korea, launched in 1995 on the back of being the first company in the world to commercialise Group III base oil.

Today ZIC is more than an engine oil maker: it develops fluid solutions for modern vehicles, including electric and hybrid drivetrains.

Product range

SK enmove makes lubricants for everything from passenger cars to industrial machinery.

Engine oil

Built on the very high viscosity index YUBASE stock and approved by global automakers — engine protection and fuel economy in every driving condition.

Gear oil

YUBASE plus anti-wear technology for smoother shifting and longer transmission life.

Hydraulic and industrial oil

Developed per application to protect machinery and stretch drain intervals in harsh environments — used by global construction and agricultural makers.

EV fluid (EVF)

Developed with global automakers for EVs and hybrids, where the fluid must cool and insulate at the same time.
