Brand Story
Project to make my car
3 years younger and extend engine life
Extend my favorite car’s lifespan through a car care product
Story of a brand’s creation,
a CEO’s mind
"For customers who value cars, K1 LUBE’s product quality promises to extend their car’s lifespan by 3 years."

“Working at a global oil refinery company for 18 years, we realized that mass-produced engine oils were not truly meeting customer needs-especially Korean cars lacked an optimized formula.”
-
Mass-produced oil ≠ Customer-specific needs
-
No engine oil optimized for Korean car models
-
Customers experienced reduced engine lifespan & performance
To solve this, scientists from Korea and Japan joined forces to develop a high-performance engine oil formula tailored for Korean cars.

Collaboration + Global additive leader technology = Innovation
By applying global standard additive company technology plus our newly developed additives, we formulated and launched a revolutionary product.
K1 LUBE was born not simply as a lubricant oil brand, but as an innovative brand that extends lifespan and maximizes performance of vehicles.
Philosophy of CEO & Researchers
