Alternative names for Recycled base oil types
To specify the Recycle Base Oil or better saying “Recycled Base Oil” type, Some buyers may use SN categories in inquiries but this is inaccurate and a common mistake that can slow down sales procedures. Finally, we may have to ask them to use flash point categories.
To clarify, SN which stands for Solvent Neutral refers to how Base Oil is produced. This actually refers procedure of production of Group I base oil from crude oil or lube-cut that is treated with Solvent and the result will be called Virgin Base Oil (VBO).
Used oil refining is not a solvent-treated procedure so it is wrong to use SN in naming recycle-based oil but since this is a general mistake in the worldwide market for the convenience of our buyers we put a table for your reference
Please Use Flash point in your Inquiries.
KV100 means Kinematic Viscosity at 100 Centigrade degrees in centistokes (cSt)
SN 150 Recycled
To clarify, it refers to KV100 between 5 – 5.5. For instance, it can be found on our Flash 180 category with customization.
SN 300 Recycled
To clarify, this refers to KV100 between 6.5 – 8 . For instance, it is common on our Flash 180 and Flash 190 category.
SN 350 Recycled
To clarify, This refers to KV100 between 7.5 – 9. For instance, it is common on our Flash 190 and Flash 200 category.
Recycle Base Oil SN 500
To clarify, it refers to KV100 between 9-11. For instance, it can be found on our Flash 200 and common on higher categories.
Recycle Base Oil SN 650
To clarify, This refers to KV100 between 10 – 12 or more. For instance, it is common on our Flash 220+ category.
MA Recycled Base Oil Specifications
Specifications differentiator
In the production of Recycle Base Oil, the Factory will boil the used oil and evaporate water and lighter hydrocarbons in the first step therefore the more they boil or the more the temperature goes will evaporate more light hydrocarbons. Whatever remains in the boiler will have almost the same flash point as the final product however this is a black material that shall be refined in color and odor thru other steps. More flash point generally increases Viscosity, Density but lowers the odor.
Flash Point
Recycle Base Oil Manufacturers keep track of Flash Point in the production procedures
Viscosity
Kinematic Viscosity of Recycled Base Oil generally increase when flash point is higher.
Same characteristics in all RcBO Types
Color
Recycled Base Oil color increases by oxidation happening due to temperature changes or for some time passing from its freshness however it is inevitable. This change will be high for some plants which we call the unreliable manufacturer and do not deal with. it is due to their production procedure and raw materials they use.
MA Trading recycled base oils color has never changed more than 0.5 from the factory sample till it was delivered to the customer at POD.
This is because we do not sacrifice quality for more profit.
Visual Appearance
The Visual Appearance of all grades of Recycle Base Oils is bright and clear.
Water content
Water content is 500PPM (Trace) on the test method of ASTM D95 for all grades.
Odor
Generally, the Odor of higher flash points is much lesser but even on the highest flash points, a real expert can realize that it is not virgin base oil although it might be odorless to many people. In general, when regular people can not detect the odor it will be called odorless. We can provide this almost odorless RcBO on lower flash points even, but at a slightly higher price.
No matter what the seller says, since Iranian Recycled Base Oils are more or less acid treated, they can not be as odorless as Virgin Base Oil but they can be very similar with longer steam treatment.
In addition, During the current long transit time, the odor of RcBO would decrease. Hence most buyers of lower flash RcBO do not care about odor because they use for fuel production. But like other specifications, if u have concerns about odor for your use, just tell us in your inquiry. We will take care of it.
Recycled Base Oil Specification Tables
Maziar Aliabadi Trading categorizes Recycled Base Oil on a Flash Point basis because it is the actual and correct way.
Some buyers/sellers prioritize the Kinematic Viscosity of the RcBO however they use SN150 to SN650 range for naming the recycled base oil wrongly. Please read this section to see why we do not use SN categories. Certainly, You can always tell us specific needs and certain criteria in your inquiries.

Right for your needs
Trusted recycled base oil (RcBO) manufacturers necessarily do not produce the exact same products as each other. The final user of recycled base oil may produce from different lubricant ranges to fuels, as a result, each specification can be the best to produce a particular finished product.
Just tell us What and Why you need it.
We are our customers eyes
Quality Matters the most
We always believe in long-time relations, therefore, we shall provide our customers with the best buying experience. To achieve this, the product shall be exact or better than what customers expect. We understand that buyers can not see the cargo unless they receive it but it is too late to do most practical actions so we inspect cargo and report to our customers.
3 steps Inspection
Almost every buyer asks for a video/picture from the sample of cargo. However, It can be easy to take videos or pictures in different lights to show shiny stuff. Finally, the buyer is seeing the sample from their computer or cell phone which can be different from the actual cargo.
We take media only from reliable samples then We watch the sample in our hand and the media that is sent and give our buyers the most honest comparison if there was a difference.
Generally, sellers provide just sample media but we inspect cargo on all key steps and give feedback on what we see to simulate the presence of the buyer.
Factory Tankers
There can be a big difference between what is inside the tanker of the factory or the best sample they have in their hands therefore we transparently tell our customers which stage sample is taken from, relying on basis of our presence in the factory. We always prefer to take samples from Tankers because it is the final product of the factory and can have minimal changes but If all or most cargo is already produced.
Otherwise, we have to take samples on other stages like Filter Samples or previous productions. Since we were in touch with manufacturers we can have an almost accurate result of how much sample is reliable.
Cargo dispatch
When cargo is fully produced we attend the cargo departure from the factory and take samples from what is loaded on the trucks and compare them with our buying stage samples. Our buyers will receive a video in this stage too that shows them both the quality and timeline of our delivery.
Loading to containers
Some cargoes may change in color with a single temperature shock only on the other hand some unreliable trucks would swap bad cargo with good cargo that our manufacturers have loaded. Besides using reliable truck owners and best manufacturers only, when cargo arrives at the port of loading, our agent will send videos of cargo stating container numbers and filled goods. this, Not only assures delivery status but will show cargo quality, delivery time, and proper stuffing to our buyers.
We Source From
19 + base oil recycling factories
With the understanding of how recycled base oil is produced, although most production procedures are almost similar in Iran, the final quality of the product is significantly dependent on equipment and the owner’s approach to the plant about feed and outcome of the plant.
Besides production, the Financial status and ethics of the owner have a huge impact on deliverability and quality of order.
Within our 20 years of experience, we had investigated or dealt with more than 65 factories.
Today, we have hand-picked 19 manufacturers that are best among others in terms of trustworthiness, production reliability, and quality.
Adequate supply capability
Almost every manufacturer prefer to produce the minimal flash point that can be cleared from Iran customs which is 180C because lower flash point production is more efficient in term of quantity.
When the market is hot, certainly it is really hard to supply higher flash points. Prices would jump for higher flash point categories consequently price becomes unrealistic. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. As per our policy, in case we fail to agree with our buyers on the price term, we will file the request. in the meantime, we will contact our buyers with reasonable prices.
Due to possible fluctuations in raw feed, Genuine Recycled Base Oil factories as well as us, would not accept more than 400-500MT in a single proforma invoice unless the cargo is ready to dispatch from the plant. So in case, you come to us with more considerable demand, we will supply it from several factories. in addition, We always notify our buyers about our purchasing status, quality and quantity.

Recycle Base Oil Price
Due to the Iranian government’s fuel subsidy, low flash point fuel type hydrocarbons are very cheap in the local market. So the goal in Iran is to achieve heavier hydrocarbon from used oil instead of lighter ones. Therefore to achieve heavier hydrocarbon, the plant has to heat the product more for a longer period. Consequently more light material will evaporate. In short, higher flash points waste more time, energy, and raw material in the factory. For instance, since the production efficiency of lower flash points, is higher, the lower the flash point, the cheaper the price.
