Abstract
Outstanding overall engine performance has been obtained by formulating automotive engine lubricants with synthetic base stocks. This paper summarizes the performance features of an optimized SAE 10w-30 synthetic passenger car engine oil. Comparisons to premium mineral oil-based products are made in areas of fuel economy, low-temperature cranking, high-temperature deposition, antiwear performance, quality reserve capability, and oil consumption control. Supporting data are shown from tests involving U.S., European, and Japanese vehicles.
