- Two synthesized commercial engine oils have been developed and extensively evaluated to document a number of unique performance benefits. The benefits include significant fuel savings in heavy-duty diesel truck engines, excellent low temperature fluidity, engine cleanliness and antiwear protection, extended drain capability, and good oil economy.The results of standard and double-length laboratory engine tests, chassis rolls tests and confirming field tests are discussed in the paper.
