Oando Launches DOT 4, an extra performance brake and clutch fluid application
October 11, 2012, (Lagos, Nigeria): Oando Marketing PLC (OMP), Nigeria’s leading petroleum retailer, is pleased to announce the introduction of Oando DOT 4 brake fluid, an extra high performance synthetic brake fluid at all Oando retail stations nationwide. The fluid is suitable for automotive discs, drum and anti-skid brake systems, and clutch systems of all modern vehicles requiring DOT 4 applications.
The launch of Oando DOT 4 is another significant milestone for OMP, as this category of brake fluids has been the exclusive preserve of a few major international oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Oando DOT 4 aligns with OMP’s strategy to create inventive products that will increase value for its stakeholders, whilst advocating for the federal government to increase participation of indigenous companies in the Nigerian oil and gas sector.
Commenting, Yomi Awobokun, CEO of OMP remarked: “This product is the result of years of dedicated research. As an innovative company, we purposefully strive to think outside the box to offer our diverse customers products that will improve their lives, the quality of their assets, and the environment.”
Also commenting, Head of Lubricants, OMP, Jonathan Sanyalou, said: “The chemical composition we have used to create Oando’s DOT 4 brake fluid has generated a highly refined end-product that we believe will further enhance the driving experience and improve the overall safety of any motorists that uses it for their vehicle. The fluid offers several advantages to motorists: Firm braking pressure under all service conditions, excellent chemical stability and freedom from gummy deposits, high boiling points to prevent vapour forming in brake systems, protection for metals and rubbers used in hydraulic brake and clutch systems, and compatibility with other brake fluids meeting stringent standards set by the American Petroleum Institute.”
