Description

PERFORMANCES

The API SP standard is fully backward compatible over API SN standard and all former API standards. The API SP-RC “Resource Conserving” specification is even more demanding on the energy saving requirements.API SP lubricants provide outstanding oxidation resistance, better anti-deposits protection, better engine cleanliness, antiwear protection and enhanced performance at cold temperature for Fuel Economy savings during the whole oil life span.
Besides being backward compatible, compare to API SN and API SN Plus, the API SP standard provides higher performance and especially adds protection against LSPI for downsized direct injection turbocharged gasoline engines.

Based on the API SP specification, the ILSAC GF-6a standard for viscosity grade 20 lubricants is even more severe especially on the Fuel Economy benefits performance. The requirements on the low viscosity “Fuel Economy” side of the lubricant, but also extended drain intervals, pistons/rings cleanliness, seals compatibility and reduced content of Phosphorus for after treatment systems compatibility are enhanced. The ILSAC GF-6a specification ensures perfect engine protection when gasoline containing up to 85% Ethanol is used (E85).

GM dexos1™ standard is suitable for the whole range of GM Gasoline engines from Model Year 2011 onwards requiring an approved dexos1 lubricant (except for service fill in Europe). Specification GM dexos1™ is designed for use with gasoline engines and replaces GM-LL-A-025, GM 6094M and GM 4718M. GM dexos1™ is also backward compatible for pre-2011
GM gasoline vehicles.
GM dexos1™ standard combines very stringent requirements from international standards like API, ACEA and ILSAC, together with specific GM requirements to prove Fuel Economy benefits and engine durability.
GM has developed its dexos1™ standard in order for the oils to provide a high thermal stability and insure an outstanding resistance at high temperatures to avoid black sludge and viscosity increase that soot, coming from combustion residues, may create.
Turbocharged gasoline engines with direct injection have a certain risk of sporadic pre-ignition phenomena in the combustion chambers. This type of sporadic abnormal combustion resembles metallic noise from combustion chambers and is sometimes associated with a short power loss. This phenomenon called LSPI for Low Speed Pre-Ignition, or also Rumble, generates very high pressure peaks in the combustion chamber that can lead to piston damages and ultimately to engine destruction. For their latest-generation downsized gasoline engines, which are equipped with direct injection systems and turbochargers, GM has developed the dexos1™ GEN2 standard for engine lubricants in order to guarantee the perfect integrity of these gasoline engines facing the risk of these abnormal combustions.
Likewise, the API SP standard now fully covers this LSPI requirement in order to perfectly protect direct injection turbo charged gasoline engines.
