Transport & logistics
Long-haul corridors, distribution fleets and intercity buses running hard hours on mixed road surfaces.
Inside Engineering
Engineered for the hardest kilometres in the country.
AG Ethiopia is the authorised Ethiopian distributor of AG Lubricants® — engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids and brake fluid blended in the United Arab Emirates to ISO 9001:2015, and stocked for the conditions our operators actually work in.

01 / The range
Five families. One standard of care.
From a half-litre bottle of brake fluid to a 20-litre pail of hydraulic oil, every AG Lubricants grade comes out of the same ISO 9001:2015 certified plant.

02 / Why AG
We stock for conditions, not for a catalogue.
- Altitude and gradient
Sustained climbs at 2,000–3,000 m put engines under load for far longer than a European drive cycle. Our heavy-duty grades are specified with that thermal load in mind.
- Dust and filtration load
Detergent and dispersant levels are set for high particulate ingress, so soot and silica stay suspended instead of polishing bores.
- Real drain intervals
Oil changes slip. We build oxidation margin into the formulation so a late drain is a missed service, not a failed engine.
- Packs that suit the trade
0.5 L brake fluid through to 20 L hydraulic pails — sized for roadside sellers, workshops and plant stores alike.

03 / Who we serve
Six sectors that cannot afford a stoppage.
Different duty cycles, different failure modes. We map the grade to the machine rather than selling one oil into every port.
Agriculture
Tractors, harvesters and irrigation pumps — one universal fluid where it makes sense, dedicated grades where it does not.
Construction & quarrying
Excavators, loaders and crushers where hydraulics run hot and bearings take constant shock loading.
Manufacturing
Compressors, gearboxes, circulating systems and machine tools across food, textile and cement plants.
Power generation
Standby and prime-power generator sets that have to start and hold load the moment the grid drops.
Workshops & retail
Independent garages, fast-fit bays and parts retailers who need stock that turns and margin that holds.
04 / Quality
Nothing leaves the plant on trust alone.
01
Base oil and additive sourcing
Group II and Group III base stocks and additive packages come from established international suppliers, with documentation held against every consignment.
02
Controlled blending
Automated dosing, in-line heating and closed transfer keep ratios and cleanliness inside tolerance from tank to filling head.
03
Release testing
Viscosity, density, flash point, TBN and appearance are checked on every batch. Retained samples stay on file so any drum can be traced back.
05 / Distribution
Stock where the work is.
Nine regional hubs and an appointed distributor network put stocked lines within a day’s drive of most major corridors — so a workshop is not waiting a week for a drum of 20W-50.
Not sure which grade you need?
Answer two questions about the machine and how it is worked, and the grade finder narrows the range down to the grade that fits — with the reasoning shown, so you can check it against your handbook.
