OREANDA-NEWS. Study of retail prices for motor oils in Moscow in 2016 shows that the average price of a four-liter can of domestic semisynthetic oil grew by almost 15%, and the price of canister of imported oil fell by 8.5%.

The leaders in the price dynamics were: from the Russian side - the companies GAZPROMNEFT (G-ENERGY, GAZPROMNEFT) and LUKOIL, with the prices rising to 19-22%, and on the part of foreign manufacturers - SCT LUBRICANTS (MANNOL), BP (CASTROL ) and ENEOS with a reduction in prices by 18 - 19%.

In the midst of the economic crisis, in September of 2015, a liter of domestic motor oil for cars grew by 10 rubles for a year and a liter of imported motor oil by 100 rubles. At that time, the increase in the prices of our oils was no more than 7.5%, while the growth of imported ones exceeded 30%. Thus, domestic producers received a huge competitive advantage and a real chance of import substitution.
