What Is
GulfStar
Lubricants?
From passenger cars and motorcycles to heavy-duty engines and industrial machinery, discover the products, expertise, and purpose behind GulfStar.
Different
Journeys.
One GulfStar.
Every engine and machine depends on the right lubrication to perform reliably. From daily passenger cars to commercial transport and industrial equipment, lubricants help reduce friction, control wear, and support performance.
GulfStar Lubricants is a UAE-manufactured lubricant brand offering automotive, commercial, motorcycle, and industrial products. Supported by the manufacturing expertise of Oryx Industries, the brand brings different lubrication solutions into one portfolio.
Four Worlds. One Portfolio.
GulfStar's range is organized around real engines, machinery, and operating requirements.
Lubrication for
Every Application.
Different engines and machines require different lubricants. That is why GulfStar's portfolio covers automotive, heavy-duty, motorcycle, gear, hydraulic, and transmission applications.
The Matrix range serves compatible gasoline-powered vehicles, while Ultima products are developed for demanding diesel engine requirements.
GulfStar also offers dedicated four-stroke and two-stroke motorcycle lubricants, alongside gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and automatic transmission fluids.
Each product has its own viscosity grades, performance classifications, and intended applications. The correct choice depends on the equipment manufacturer's requirements.
Discover Four Featured Products
From Engine Oils
to Industrial Fluids.
Gasoline engine oils are formulated for compatible passenger-car engines, with performance properties supporting cleanliness, wear protection, and operation across specified conditions.
Diesel engine oils are designed for equipment operating under challenging loads, temperatures, and contamination conditions.
Motorcycle engine oils address the needs of two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Some four-stroke formulations also need to support wet-clutch operation.
Gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and transmission oils serve mechanical systems beyond the engine, where the specified fluid type is important for correct operation.
The product name tells you the range. The grade and specification tell you where it belongs.
In the product spotlight below, we have included example SAE grades and performance classifications so readers can understand each product without already knowing GulfStar's naming system.
Matrix XL
Premium fully synthetic engine oil for compatible gasoline-powered passenger cars. The Fully Synthetic variant is listed in SAE 0W-40 and 0W-60.
Ultima XT
Diesel engine oil for compatible commercial vehicles, heavy-duty engines, and equipment, including certain applications using modern emission-control systems.
4T Speed
Four-stroke motorcycle engine oil for compatible applications, including motorcycles requiring wet-clutch performance under demanding riding conditions.
Gear HP-5
Extreme-pressure automotive gear lubricant for compatible hypoid differentials, final drives, and driveline systems requiring API GL-5 performance.
The Work Starts
Before the Engine.
Producing a lubricant involves more than combining base oils and additives. Each formulation must be developed around its intended use and performance requirements.
Formulation.
Base oils and additives are selected and formulated according to the needs of different engines and applications.
UAE Production.
Oryx Industries' manufacturing facilities support GulfStar through lubricant blending and filling.
Product Evaluation.
Laboratory analysis and quality-control processes help assess lubricant properties and product consistency.
The Right Oil.
The Right Fit.
The most suitable lubricant depends on your engine or machine, operating conditions, viscosity requirements, and applicable performance standards.
Using an unsuitable viscosity grade or performance specification can affect lubrication and equipment operation. Choosing correctly starts with the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
Always verify that the product meets the required grade and specification. For example, SAE engine oil grades and ISO hydraulic viscosity grades use different classification systems.
Examples include SAE 0W-40 for engine oil and ISO VG 68 for hydraulic fluid.
Such as API SN, API CJ-4, JASO MA2, and API GL-5, depending on the application.
Consider engine design, temperature, operating load, and service conditions.
Check the actual grade and performance requirements specified for your vehicle or equipment.
The best lubricant isn't necessarily the thickest or the most expensive. It's the one that matches the equipment's requirements.
