The range
Built for the work,
priced for the trade.
Seven ranges covering the lubricants South African workshops, fleets and resellers move every day — each supplied to a consistent specification under the Big Ace label. Below: what each is for, where it's used, and the grades and ratings buyers care about. Need something matched to an OEM spec? Just ask.
