The Performance of Diesel Engine Oil using Ashless Anti-Wear Additive and Detergent 2023-32-0027
To comply with increasingly strict emission regulations, diesel vehicles are equipped with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to capture fine particulate matter (PM) from exhaust gas. However, due to the limited capacity of DPF to capture soot, periodic regeneration processing is required to burn it off. The ash created by metal-based additives in engine oil accumulates in DPF, leading to issues such as increased regeneration frequency and decreased fuel efficiency.
To solve this problem, researchers have developed diesel engine oil with reduced ash content. However, the authors are taking it a step further and developing a diesel engine oil without metal-based detergents and anti-wear additives, for even more significant environmental impact reduction. This paper describes the development of an ashless engine oil with DH-2 performance, the effects of the developed engine oil on DPF, and the results of engine and actual field tests.
