Where Dataoil engine oil is made: the Qingdao base and its QC process

Where Dataoil engine oil is produced: production runs at our company-controlled base — Qingdao Weidu Lubricants Co., Ltd. (~3,000 m², ISO 9001). The in-house lab runs intake and dispatch testing; every batch sample is retained and traceable; key batches are verified by third-party CNAS laboratories.

In-house laboratory

The base is equipped with an in-house lab covering two critical nodes: raw-material intake testing — base oils and additives are tested item by item on arrival before warehousing; and finished-goods dispatch testing — finished products pass full batch-by-batch testing before leaving. Every batch sample is retained and traceable.

Main lab functions

Intake testing

Base oils and additives tested item by item on arrival; non-conforming raw materials are refused at the source.

Dispatch testing

Full batch-by-batch testing (key items incl. viscosity, flash point) before release.

Batch samples

Every batch sample retained and traceable; any quality query can be re-tested against the batch.

Equipment list

Viscosity meter, flash-point tester, density meter and other standard oil-test instruments (full equipment list to be updated).

QC framework (six steps)

Dataoil's QC process has six steps: raw material selection, intake testing, blending, finished-goods testing, batch sampling, and dispatch on pass. Each step is recorded and archived; key batches are additionally verified by an independent CNAS laboratory.

1. Raw material selection 2. Intake testing 3. Blending 4. Finished-goods testing 5. Batch sampling 6. Dispatch on pass
1. Raw material selection

Base oils are sourced from top-tier synthetic base oil makers; core additives use Afton's additive products. Purchase invoices are archived for verification.

2. Intake testing

Base oils and additives are tested item by item at intake by our in-house lab; rejects are refused at the gate.

3. Blending

Formulas are blended to batch standard in pulse-blending reactors; filling and packaging run on the automated/semi-automated lines at the Qingdao base.

4. Finished-goods testing

Finished goods are fully tested batch by batch (viscosity, flash point, acid value and other key items); key batches are verified by an independent CNAS laboratory before release.

5. Batch sampling

Every batch sample is retained, so any quality query can be re-tested against the archived batch with a complete trace chain.

6. Dispatch on pass

Goods ship only after full testing and batch archiving; test-report numbers are published for verification (e.g. report 202100988 for the 9000 series).

Liquid lines (AdBlue / Coolant / Windshield washer)

The liquid lines cover three liquid product families — AdBlue (diesel exhaust fluid), coolant (engine coolant) and windshield washer fluid — running blending, filling, sealing, labeling and packaging. Every batch runs the same six-step framework above: raw material selection → intake testing → blending (filling) → finished-goods testing → batch sampling → dispatch on pass. Finished liquids pass full in-house lab testing before dispatch.

ItemDetail
Products coveredAdBlue (ISO 22240 grade), coolant (all-season / summer), washer fluid (anti-freeze / all-season)
QC frameworkSame six-step framework as the oil line; same lab intake/dispatch testing nodes

Capacity dataNo specific capacity figures on this page — refer to official store detail pages

On-site photos of the liquid line are still being shot and will be added to this page as they are ready; product parameters are on the AdBlue, coolant and washer fluid categories.

Three-way verification

International additive inputs

Core additives use Afton (US) additive products — a procurement fact, with invoice records archived for verification.

Third-party CNAS reports

Key batches verified by independent CNAS labs; report numbers for oil and additives published: TBD

On-road multi-condition testing

Formulas are validated on real vehicles across road conditions, temperatures and mileage before launch; road-test records are updated continuously.
