Passenger Car Engine Oil: Performance and Engine Health

What are the Properties of Passenger Car Engine Oil?

Passenger Car Engine Oil

It is a fully synthetic gasoline engine oil produced by adding high performance additives to high technology synthetic base oils. It is suitable for harsh conditions that traditional engine oils cannot overcome.

It is produced to provide excellent lubrication of new generation particle filtered diesel engines. Thanks to its low-ash additives, it provides superior protection in exhaust systems, engine and longer oil change intervals.

• Provides excellent lubrication at low temperatures, reducing wear and extending engine life.
• Protects the engine while providing long oil maintenance intervals.
• Minimizes cold start wear and saves fuel.

Importance of Engine Oil Analysis

The importance of engine oil analysis for passenger cars is highlighted in the following points:

• Performance Evaluation: The viscosity of the oil, the condition of the additives and the level of contamination directly affect engine performance.
• Early Warning System: Analyses detect potential problems such as engine wear, coolant leaks or fuel leaks early.
• Optimization of Oil Change Intervals: The current condition of the oil helps avoid unnecessary oil changes and reduce maintenance costs.
• Reducing Environmental Impact: Reusing oil in good condition reduces environmental waste and ensures sustainability.

Engine Oil Analysis Methods

The methods used in engine oil analysis have been developed to examine the different properties of the oil in detail:

1. Spectroscopic Analysis: Detects wear metals and additives.
2. Viscometer Tests: Evaluates the viscosity properties of the oil.
3. FTIR Spectroscopy: Analyzes oxidation, nitration and carbon deposition.
4. Titration Techniques: Used in TAN and TBN measurements.
5. Karl Fischer Titration: Measures the water content in the oil.

What are the Benefits of Engine Oil Analysis?

1. Optimizes Engine Performance: Oil viscosity, oxidation and additives are regularly analyzed to ensure more efficient engine operation.

2. Early Problem Detection: Problems such as wear metals or water contamination are identified early, thus preventing engine failures.

3. Extends Oil Change Interval: By analyzing the current condition of the oil, unnecessary oil changes are avoided.

4. Environmental Benefits: Less oil consumption and less waste reduces environmental impact.
