Increased demands for reduced greenhouse gases and improved fuel economy in all heavy duty vehicles, as well as passenger cars, is requiring new advanced technology in engine lubricants and engine development.
A viscosity grade signifies an oil’s resistance to flow. It takes more energy to move thicker oil around an engine. Thinner or lower viscosity oil offers less mechanical resistance so helping improve engine efficiency and the use of less fuel.
Engine oil viscosity can vary significantly
Lubricants are vital in engines and they play the essential role in reducing wear and tear and protecting all the moving parts. Engine oils manage and disperse contaminants, protecting them from building up and blocking flow passages. Additive technology in quality lubricants plays a major role in reducing the friction between moving engine parts and minimising metal on metal contact.

Advanced additives use the latest technology to clean the engines, inhibit corrosion, minimise wear and tear and enhance fuel economy. These are all crucial in keeping business vehicles working for longer and reducing breakdowns and maintenance costs.
New lower Higher Temperature High Shear (HTHS) engine oil viscosities are now available which helps squeeze greater efficiency and improved fuel economy out of Heavy Duty Engine Oils.
