VUKO Packaging: Tin and Plastic Oil Containers

The same VUKO (YUKO) oil can come in different packaging: a tin can, a plastic canister or a metal drum. The formulation, approvals and product quality stay the same; only the container changes. So you can choose the format that suits your task, from 0.5 L for a motorcycle to 200 L for a vehicle fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the oil the same in a tin can and in a plastic canister?

If it is the same product, yes. For example, VUKO SUPER SYNTHETIC C3 5W-40 comes in a 1 L tin can, a 4 L plastic canister and a 200 L metal drum. The formulation, specifications and approvals are identical; only the packaging differs. Full details are on the product page.

How can I find out which container a product comes in?

On the product page, choose a volume under “Available in:” — the photo will update to show the matching container.

Why are some products available in only one format?

The catalog shows the main formats for each product, which depend on how it is used: motorcycle and aerosol products usually come in compact containers, passenger-car engine oils in 1 to 5 L, and industrial oils in 20 L canisters and drums. If you need a different format, you can order it separately.

Can I order a product in a container that is not in the catalog?

Yes. VUKO products can be ordered in any of the packaging types shown on this page, even if the catalog lists a particular product in fewer formats. Non-standard formats and containers with your own branding are discussed individually: submit a request on the Private Label page or contact us through the contact form.

Has the labeling changed with the YUKO → VUKO transition?

Products are gradually moving from the YUKO trademark to VUKO, so you may currently see both label versions on shelves and in the catalog. The manufacturer, formulations and quality remain the same.

Where can I buy VUKO oils in the container I need?

The list of stores, auto repair shops and dealers is on the “Where to buy” page. For wholesale orders and partnerships, see the “For Partners” section.
