Lubrizol Completes Passenger Car ACEA 2016 Upgrade
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CLEVELAND, July 6, 2017 - The Lubrizol Corporation announces it has completed
the ACEA 2016 upgrade of its key European passenger car engine oil technologies
ahead of schedule. Finishing the ACEA 2016 upgrade and the development of a new
C5 fuel economy solutions helps ensure our customer's success.
The ACEA oil sequences make up some of the lubricant industry's most important
performance standards. ACEA's influence continues to grow beyond Europe, and the
ACEA 2016 update released in December 2016 is an important step forward for the
global lubricant industry. Vehicles manufactured by European automakers in 2016
represented up to 42% of new vehicle sales in China, and up to 33% of new
vehicle sales in North and South America.
ACEA 2016 represents a significant upgrade for European passenger car engine
oils, and includes new standards based on today's automotive technology. ACEA
2016 brings increased focus on the growing use of biodiesel fuel, and it
introduces two new tests to assess lubricant resistance to turbocharger and
piston deposits in gasoline direct injection and turbocharged gasoline direct
injection (T/GDI) engines. It also announces a new C5 category that delivers
enhanced fuel economy performance for passenger car lubricants.
"We are pleased to have completed the ACEA 2016 upgrade across our range of
European passenger car additive technologies, allowing our customers throughout
the world to manage the upgrade of their lubricant product lines 18 months in
advance of the December 2018 compulsory compliance window," said Colin Morton,
Lubrizol regional business manager for Europe, Passenger Car Engine Oils.
Lubrizol's extensive in-house testing capability and formulating expertise were
key to getting new ACEA 2016 and C5 solutions to market early. Prior to the
December release, Lubrizol engaged with the industry and testing work groups to
anticipate market needs and to accelerate test upgrade activities across a range
of technologies. Because of Lubrizol's deep involvement in ACEA sequence
development groups and with new tests installed internally, Lubrizol has been
able to stay ahead of the specification and is bringing data-backed solutions to
our customers sooner.
Morton continues, " We are also pleased to introduce new ACEA 2016 C5
technologies to the market, and are already looking beyond ACEA 2016 to the
future where low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) and chain wear performance are
becoming increasingly important for European T/GDI engines."
Success in today's automotive industry depends on higher performance, and
Lubrizol is committed to helping our partners get there. For more information on
