Cleaning additives help ensure trouble-free combustion of the fuel in your vehicle's engine. SOCAR has been using cleaning additives in all its fuels for years, in everything from regular unleaded to diesel. These cleaning additives affect the fuel's quality and take it to a higher level than fuels without additives.
Unlike fuels from suppliers who do not add additives, all SOCAR quality fuels do not leave deposits in your engine. Rather, they are designed to protect against any further deposits. In this way they help to keep your engine clean so that it can achieve the performance intended by the manufacturer.
SOCAR VELVET 98 has a highly effective double-acting protective formula specially designed to ensure that the inlet system and in particular the inlet valves are kept clean:
ZIn addition, SOCAR VELVET 98 has a high knock resistance being 98 octane fuel. Modern engines with intelligent knocking sensor systems can also use the potential within fuels with a higher octane number in terms of increased performance and reduced fuel consumption.
Higher octane content fuel can be used in any petrol engine without any problems. Therefore, SOCAR VELVET 98 can be used in all cars with petrol engines.
A fuel with a higher octane content can always be used without hesitation with any petrol. We recommend the uses of SOCAR VELVET 98 for all gasoline engines.
SOCAR VELVET 98 can be mixed with other types of petrol without hesitation. This is because all types of petrol sold in Switzerland comply with the fuel standard (SN EN 228).
We recommend, though, that you use SOCAR VELVET 98 regularly so that you can enjoy the full benefit of the double protection formula and permanently protect your engine from deposits.
SOCAR VELVET 98 replaces the previously marketed SOCAR 98 unleaded premium; it contains a highly effective, new double-action formula specially designed to keep clean the intake system and especially the intake valves.
Furthermore, SOCAR VELVET 98 demonstrates a high knock resistance with 98 octane. Modern engines featuring intelligent knock sensors can also unlock the potential of fuels with high octane ratings to enhance their performance and reduce their fuel consumption.
The name SOCAR VELVET 98 reflects SOCAR’s high standards in terms of quality, signifies innovation and exudes a strong sense of self-reliance in the field of mobility. VELVET is distinctly smooth to the touch. It is a multi-layered fabric known for its fine surface. This surface must, however, be protected and maintained, just like the surfaces of the various engine parts. This protection and maintenance is provided by SOCAR VELVET 98.
SOCAR refines all the quality fuels it markets with cleaning additives in order to enhance their performance.
It is not compulsory to blend in additives in Switzerland, even though this is recommended by European, American and Japanese carmakers in the World Wide Fuel Charter. It is left up to the oil companies whether they blend these additives into their fuels. This depends on the corporate strategy regarding product quality and the marketplace.
Unleaded, sulphur-free petrol is primarily intended for vehicles which are equipped with a catalytic converter to clean their exhaust gases. This is often know colloquially as "Lead-free 95". The extremely low sulphur content improves catalytic converters degree of effectiveness and service life on both old and new vehicles.
In addition, it reduces the pollutant emissions. SOCAR also adds cleaning additives to this fuel. These are cleaning additives which ensure that there is trouble-free combustion of the fuel in the engine and that no deposits are left there.
The basis for pioneering diesel generation requires a high-quality diesel fuel combined with a scientifically precisely tailored additive package made up of the following components:
