Lubricant supply across Germany: how Elat reaches your business

Elat is the lubricant brand of Global Tech Lubricants GmbH, and its products are made in Germany. Management and administration are based at Rheinpromenade 4a in Monheim am Rhein, while the warehouse, dispatch and scheduling operate from In den Telgen 4b in Lünen, in central North Rhine-Westphalia.

Lubricant delivery across Germany starts from Lünen: we supply business customers throughout the country. As a lubricant supplier in Germany, we stock the operating fluids that vehicles and machines rely on every day: car and truck engine oils, gear oils and ATF, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid.

You will find addresses and directions under locations in Monheim am Rhein and Lünen, and details on working with us on our page for B2B customers.

In brief

Elat lubricants are made in Germany and go to workshops, retailers and online shops, industrial companies, fleets and bus companies throughout the country. A standards finder leads from what your manual specifies to the relevant topic page. We also organise waste oil collection nationwide through specialist disposal partners.

Who we supply – and what each business needs

Requirements differ considerably between sectors. A workshop looking for an engine oil supplier in Germany needs different products from a plant that runs hydraulic presses, so our range is organised around the standards that vehicle and machine manufacturers specify.

Vehicle workshops

Workshop engine oil to common manufacturer standards such as VW 504 00/507 00, MB 229.51 or BMW Longlife-04, plus gear oil, ATF, DOT 4 brake fluid and coolant for everyday servicing.

Retailers and online shops

Branded products made in Germany, with the full label details on every product page and, where available, a technical data sheet – a sound basis for your own product listings.

Industry

HLP hydraulic oil to DIN 51524-2 in ISO VG 46, 68 and 100 for industrial and mobile hydraulics. As a hydraulic oil supplier in Germany, we look at both the viscosity grade and the pump or machine maker’s specification.

Fleets and bus companies

Fleet lubricants such as truck engine oil to ACEA E6, MB 228.51 or MAN M 3477, gear and axle oil to API GL-5, and coolant to MB 325.3, MAN 324 and VW TL 774 D/F.

Our range by product group

The Elat range is divided into six product groups. Every product page lists the viscosity and the specifications printed on the label; where available, you will also find the technical data sheet there. Our engine oils cover both cars and commercial vehicles, complemented by fluids for transmissions, hydraulics, cooling systems and brakes.

We supply everything from 1-litre bottles to 1000-litre IBCs and tanker deliveries; which of these are available for a particular product is something we clarify with your inquiry.

All topic pages by application

Each topic page explains one standard or product group and shows the Elat products that list it on their labels. Pick the topic that matches your vehicle or machine.

Standards finder: from vehicle or machine to the right standard

The table matches typical applications to the standard or criterion that matters and points you to the relevant topic page. Treat it as a starting point rather than a substitute for the manual: the vehicle or machine manufacturer’s specification is always binding.

Can’t find your standard in the table? Send us the entry from the owner’s manual and we will check which Elat product lists it on its label.

Checklist: what to include in your inquiry

The more complete your inquiry, the more precisely we can suggest a suitable product. These details help most:

  • Vehicle or machine: make, model, engine or unit – for fleets, ideally as a list.
  • Required standard: for example VW 507 00, MB 228.51, DIN 51524-2 or MB 325.3, exactly as given in the manual or lubrication chart.
  • Viscosity: for example 5W-30, 15W-40 or ISO VG 46.
  • Quantity and pack size: estimated requirement per delivery and preferred container size.
  • Delivery address: the address of the workshop, depot or plant.
  • Contact person: name, phone number and e-mail address for any questions.

Several products, one inquiry

Many businesses need engine oil, gear oil, coolant and brake fluid at the same time. Combine your requirements in a single inquiry – via the contact form or by e-mail to info@gtl-gmbh.eu.

Waste oil collection across Germany, and export

Using lubricants also means disposing of waste oil. Global Tech Lubricants organises collection throughout Germany through waste management companies holding the relevant certification, including a disposal certificate, so you can coordinate supply and disposal with a single contact. The process is described on our waste oil collection page.

For customers outside Germany, we export in full 20 ft or 40 ft containers; see our export information for details.

Frequently asked questions

Does GTL deliver lubricants across Germany?

Which pack sizes are available?

The range is available from 1-litre bottles to 1000-litre IBCs and tanker deliveries. We will tell you which pack sizes are available for a specific product when you inquire.

How do I find the right oil for my fleet?
