The Science Behind Engine Oil Development and Testing |
Developing and testing new engine oils requires a careful balance: fuel economy must be balanced with product durability and the precision of laboratory testing must be balanced by evaluating the oil’s performance under real-world conditions. Consequently, every product development process is an intense and iterative cycle, from definition to deployment. The market needs to be identified in the early stages of the process, such as the requirement for a high-performance, low-viscosity, heavy-duty engine oil, drive both the formulation and the testing approach. |
