Where It Is Used

Gem Oils Own Brand: Applications Across Ireland

The Gem Oils own brand range covers the lubricants most commonly needed across Irish farms, workshops, commercial fleets, and industrial sites — formulated to current OEM specifications and available in the pack sizes that Irish operations actually use.
01

Agricultural — Tractors, Farm Machinery & Dairy

The Gem Oils AgriPro range covers all primary lubricant requirements on modern Irish farms — UTTO for tractor transmission, wet brakes, and hydraulics; STOU for machines requiring a single fluid in engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems; agricultural engine oils for diesel and older pre-Tier 4 machinery; milking machine vacuum pump oil for dairy parlours; and greases for PTO shafts, bearings, and chassis points.

UTTO and STOU specifications differ between manufacturers — John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and Case IH all publish distinct requirements. Contact Gem Oils with your tractor make and model to confirm the correct Gem AgriPro product before ordering.

02

Automotive & Commercial Fleet

The Gem Oils PowerFleet Pro range covers heavy-duty diesel engine oils (HDDO) for trucks and commercial vehicles, passenger car motor oils for petrol and diesel engines, and semi-synthetic and fully synthetic grades for modern low-emission vehicles. Products are formulated to meet API and ACEA specifications applicable to Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, MAN, Scania, Volkswagen Group, BMW, and Iveco fleets operating in Ireland.

Contact Gem Oils with your vehicle make, model, and the OEM specification required to confirm the correct Gem PowerFleet Pro grade — particularly important for vehicles with DPF or EGR systems where low-SAPS formulations are required.

03

Industrial & Workshop

Gem Oils HydraC HL Pro hydraulic and compressor oils cover the majority of stationary and mobile hydraulic systems used in farm workshops, manufacturing facilities, and commercial sites across Ireland. ISO VG 32, 46, and 68 anti-wear hydraulic oils cover most applications. Gem DriveTrans Pro industrial gear oils are suited to enclosed industrial gearboxes in manufacturing and processing plant.

The correct ISO VG grade depends on the manufacturer’s specification and operating temperature range. Contact Gem Oils to confirm — particularly where a specific approval such as Denison HF-0 or DIN 51524 is required.

04

Off-Highway & Plant Equipment

Construction plant, quarrying equipment, and off-highway machinery require hydraulic oils, gear oils, and engine oils that can withstand high-load, high-contamination operating conditions. Gem HydraC HL Pro covers hydraulic systems on excavators, telescopic handlers, and mobile plant. Gem LubeGrease Pro EP greases are suited to exposed pins, slewing rings, and chassis points on construction and quarrying equipment.

Off-highway machinery operating on Tier 4 engines also requires AdBlue meeting ISO 22241. Contact Gem Oils with your equipment type and manufacturer specification to confirm the correct products.

05

Marine — Engines, Gearboxes & Deck Equipment

Gem Oils supplies engine oils, gear oils, greases, and hydraulic fluids suited to marine diesel engines, propulsion gearboxes, stern gear, and deck machinery on commercial and working vessels operating in Irish waters. Engine oils covering API CF-4 and CI-4 specifications are suitable for medium-speed marine diesel engines. Gear oils meeting API GL-4 and GL-5 are used in marine gearboxes and reduction drives.

Marine applications place additional demands on lubricant water resistance and corrosion protection. Contact Gem Oils with your vessel type, engine make, and gearbox specification to confirm the correct product.

06

AdBlue — Agricultural, Commercial & Off-Highway

Gem Oils supplies AdBlue (AUS 32) meeting ISO 22241 quality standards for Tier 4 tractors, commercial vehicles, and off-highway machinery fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. AdBlue must be stored separately from all other fluids — even trace contamination with diesel, oil, or water will damage an SCR catalyst and trigger fault codes that prevent engine operation.

Available in 10 litre and 20 litre containers, 205 litre barrels, and bulk tank delivery for farms, agricultural contractors, and commercial sites. Contact Gem Oils to discuss bulk supply and delivery arrangements across Ireland.

Why Source Through Gem Oils

Your Gem Oils Supplier In Ireland

Three things that distinguish ordering Gem Oils own brand lubricants from a generic catalogue or online reseller.

Gem Oils own brand products are supplied direct — not through a distributor, agent, or third-party warehouse. You are ordering from the source, with full traceability, consistent batch quality, and access to our technical team for product selection support before and after your order. ISO 9001:2015 certified operations cover every stage from procurement through to delivery.

Our team identifies the correct product for your equipment make, model, and operating conditions before you order. This matters most for agricultural UTTO and STOU selection — where OEM specifications differ between manufacturers — and for commercial fleet engine oils where DPF or EGR compatibility requirements apply. We do not leave customers to interpret specification tables alone.

Based in Ragaskin, Cavan — with the largest lubricant storage capacity of any Irish supplier — Gem Oils delivers to all 32 counties using its own transport fleet. Bulk supply available for farms, co-operatives, fleets, and industrial sites. Family-owned since 1962. Phone, email, or the enquiry form — we respond promptly and hold stock for quick turnaround.

Common Questions
