Evolving Pressures in Passenger Car Lubrication

The global automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by stricter emissions regulations, the rise of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and the widespread adoption of downsized, turbocharged engines. These innovations place unprecedented stress on the lubricant and critical engine components.

The industry requires passenger car engine oil solutions that can combat Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI), contain lower SAPs, control timing chain wear, manage the unique challenges of stop-start hybrid operation and enable the use of ultra-low viscosity grades for improved fuel economy.
