More fuel:
the cost of
ash from oil
DPFs effectively reduce emissions of particulate matter by collecting and storing incombustible particles in the form of ash and soot. However, most of the ash that collects in the DPF comes from consumed lubricant. Even today’s lowest-ash oils clog DPFs, often resulting in greater backpressure, more frequent forced regenerations and increased fuel consumption.
Top 5 ways your
DPF is currently
costing you
From reduced fuel efficiency to more maintenance to increased downtime, chances are your clogged DPF is costing you in more ways than one.
Today’s 1% low-ash oils aren’t low enough
Oil specifications have changed over time to keep up with lower-emissions demands but have not specifically addressed improving the performance of aftertreatment systems. The percentage of ash-forming metallic additives in oils was limited to a maximum of 1% with the introduction of API CJ-4 specs in 2006, and this maximum has remained at 1% under the API CK-4 standard, introduced in 2016. Unfortunately, it’s still not low enough to maximize the lifespan of the DPF, meaning the technological advancement of aftertreatment systems has outpaced today’s lubricants. Until now.
