At an engine teardown event held earlier this month, Shell Rotella engineers showed off parts from three engines used in a two-year, half-million mile test of the next-generation low-viscosity oil ...

A recent study used various gas oils and blends with residual heavy oils in order to evaluate the predictability of four different correlations. The gas oils differed substantially in their ...

The evolution in engines has required development of the next generations of oils to lubricate them — that’s the basic premise of the PC-11 (proposed category 11) diesel engine oil category in the ...

Ultra-low viscosity oils are becoming the norm for modern engines, especially smaller units prioritizing efficiency.

Viscosity the most important physical property of a lubricating oil, as determines how easily the oil circulates and its load carrying capability. Maintaining the correct balance between low viscosity ...

The pour point of an oil is an essential property that determines how it will flow at a given temperature. This is particularly useful for many systems where the temperature can fluctuate due to ...

Joe writes: Hi Sajeev, I’m sure this has been asked many times, but I was thinking about oil viscosity recommendations vs.

Stricter federal regulations are reshaping the engine oil industry. PC-12 and low-viscosity HDEOs can help with compliance and performance. As the temperatures rise and the days become longer, your ...
