A gasoline particulate filter (GPF) is installed in a passenger vehicle for new exhaust regulation. However, ash in gasoline engine oil has a risk of clogging as well as performance decrease in the GPF. Therefore, new gasoline engine oil whose ash contents decrease to 0.8 mass% was developed in order to avoid the GPF clogging. In addition to this, our developed oil improves fuel efficiency (+0.2% from our SN 0W-16 fuel eco type oil) as well as anti-wear performance for gasoline engine, which resulted in meeting API SP/ILSAC GF-6 0W-16 official certification.
