Agip (Eni)

The Agip families and what each covers

The Agip names were reorganised under the Eni brand, but the classic industrial families remain, and still appear that way in the documentation of much of the plant installed in Romania:

• i-Sigma (formerly Sigma) - heavy-duty engine oils for trucks and machinery.
• i-Sint - passenger car engine oils, including low-SAPS grades.
• OSO - HLP hydraulic oils, the family most often cited in equipment specifications.
• Arnica - HVLP hydraulic oils, with a high viscosity index.
• Blasia - industrial gear oils, including synthetic versions.
• Grease and Dicrea - greases and compressor oils respectively.

Where Agip makes sense

Agip is a natural choice on Italian-built plant, where the OSO, Arnica and Blasia families appear directly in the operating manual, and when the manual asks for a name, the simplest thing is to give it that name. The industrial range is complete across the mainstream and well documented. One practical detail: because the names went through the Agip-Eni reorganisation, an old specification from a fifteen-year-old manual does not always map identically onto today's label. This is where it helps to send us exactly what the manual says. We will do the cross-reference, including to other manufacturers' products if availability or price argues for it.
