Improved efficiency and lower emissions continue to be delivered through changes to almost every aspect of a vehicle’s design. Hardware changes typically result in engine lubricants working in hotter and more severe operating environments, and performing for longer periods between service intervals.
For passenger and commercial vehicles alike, advanced internal combustion engine hardware and state-of-the-art aftertreatment systems are being enabled by some of the highest-performing engine lubricants the industry has ever seen. Today’s lubricants have to perform in an ever-tighter operating window, satisfying the simultaneous and sometimes competing demands for lower emissions, increased efficiency and enhanced durability.
