We don't just sell lubricants. We sell a solution - the right oil for your machines, your conditions, your uptime requirements.
Mining
In mining, an hour of downtime costs more than a week's supply of oil.
We understand mining. Extreme load, dust and, heat, demand performance that will extend equipment service intervals when required. Our upper-tier lubricants are engineered to outlast the harshest shift conditions.
Automotive
The right oil protects the engine. The wrong one voids the warranty.
For independent workshops and franchise service centres. OEM-specified engine oils, transmission fluids, and brake fluids that protect your clients' vehicles and your reputation.
Industrial
Oil failure doesn't pause production — it stops it.
From industrial gear oils to hydraulic fluids and greases, we keep your plant running at optimal levels. High-temperature performance, extended drain intervals, and lubrication programs that prevent unplanned downtime.
Agricultural
Harvest waits for no one. Neither should your lubricant supplier.
Tractors, harvesters, irrigation pumps, and farm equipment operate in some of the most demanding conditions. Our agricultural lubricants are formulated to handle the load, the heat, and the hours.
Food Manufacturing
In food production, contamination doesn't cost a batch — it costs your certification.
Food-grade and NSF-certified lubricants for processing plants, packaging lines, conveyors, and cold-room equipment. We keep your production compliant, your audits clean, and your lines running without interruption.
Freight
Every kilometre delayed is a promise broken.
Long-haul fleets need lubricants that perform across varied conditions and climates. We provide fleet owners and operators with slubricants that protect engines, gearboxes and other components increasing their uptime and extending maintenance schedules.
We don't only serve big operations. Whether you run a single-bay workshop or a bulk industrial facility, our lubricants come in the pack size your operation actually needs — so you order what you use, and use what you order.

Three roles. Three completely different pressures. One supplier who understands all of them.
When a machine goes down, nobody asks the finance team why. They ask you. You need lubricants you can trust unconditionally — products that perform in heat, under load, through the long shift and the night shift.
One call connects you to a technical specialist who understands machines. When something fails, we don't lead with a product recommendation — we work through it with you. Oil analysis, root cause identification, documented findings. So you know what caused the downtime, and you have something in writing when you need to account for it.
The cheapest oil is never the cheapest option. You know this. But the spreadsheet doesn't. Oily gives you the ammunition to justify quality: total cost of ownership models, drain interval data, and documented service records that show lubricant cost vs. maintenance savings.
We provide full pricing transparency, volume discount structures, and account terms that make approval straightforward. No surprise invoices. No switching fees. No fine print.
You didn't get here by cutting corners. Every machine, every driver, every shift supervisor — they depend on inputs that are consistent and reliable. A lubricant supplier who disappears or changes products without warning is a liability, not an asset.
Oily has been supplying South African businesses for nearly 10 years. We've been through load shedding, logistics disruptions, and supply chain chaos. We know how to keep your operation supplied when it matters most.
Not datasheets. Not bullet points. The three things our clients actually rely on — year after year.
We've been in the South African market for nearly 10 years. Our product lines don't change on a whim. If we recommend something for your plant, it'll still be available next year — and the year after.
Proven across 1,000+ active operations nationwide.
We hold stock. When you need oil, you get oil — not a lead time estimate and an apology. Emergency delivery is available across Gauteng, KZN, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
24/7 support line. Same-day emergency dispatch on request.
We put our recommendations in writing. If a product doesn't perform as specified for your application, we take responsibility. No blame-shifting, no fine print, no excuses.
Written performance commitments on all product recommendations.
"Oil keeps operations running.
Oily keeps you from having to think about it."
Every client has a named account manager. When you call, you speak to someone who knows your operation, your machines, and your history with us.
"We don't win on price. We win on the fact that we answer the phone, know what we're talking about, and follow through. Every time."
