Driving Down Viscosity: A Companywide View From Infineum

摘要

The main driving force for using lower viscosity oils is the reduction of hydrodynamic friction, which improves fuel economy. As legislation to improve fuel economy and reduce CO~2 emissions is introduced or tightened across the globe, the desire to reap the fuel economy benefits that these lower viscosity engine oils can deliver means engine oils have been getting thinner and thinner.
