ENGINE OIL WITH LOW AND MID ASH CONTENT
Which engine oil for DPF and TWC?
Low ash oil and the relevance for GPF and DPF
In the development of the latest engine oil and combustion engines, the reduction of harmful exhaust emissions is an important quality criterion. Latest generation motor oils can thus make an important contribution to environmental protection. In return, they must not adversely affect fuel combustion and the functioning of modern exhaust gas purification systems.
Malfunction of aftertreatment systems without low SAPS engine oil
Particle filters of exhaust aftertreatment systems filter even the smallest particles out of the exhaust gases with the aid of very fine pores. However, if the exhaust gases contain unburned residues, these pores can become clogged with soot and ashes, causing them to lose their cleaning function. Especially engine oils with increased phosphorus, sulphate and sulphur favour this formation of residues in modern exhaust aftertreatment systems.
ACEA specifications and CO2-emissions
The Association des Constructeurs Europeens de l’Automobile (ACEA) has developed a strict European test procedure especially for this problem, and allow engine oils to be marketed only under certain specifications. The ACEA Class C specification for passenger car engine oil is aimed at diesel-powered engines with DPF and SCR and gasoline-powered engines with GPF and includes compliance with low ash-forming fractions and optimised HTHS viscosity.
Selection criteria for the right engine oil
Car owners should therefore make sure that they choose the right engine oil. Low or mid-SAPS oils have a low content of phosphorus, sulphate and sulphur and therefore have a reduced ash-forming content.

Driving is a blend of exhilaration and convenience, but sometimes, your trusty car can hit a snag. One of the most frustrating issues is a coolant leak.
Coolant, often referred to as the versatile 'antifreeze,' assumes the uncelebrated role of an automotive guardian, ensuring your engine's harmonious operation. This unassuming fluid stands as a bulwark against the scorching summer heat and the bone-chilling cold of winter. Nevertheless, when the vigilance of antifreeze wanes, and it embarks on an unauthorized journey beyond its confines, ominous troubles come into view.
