Many Popular North American Engine Oils may
be Harmful to European Engines.
European automobile
manufacturers design vehicles to use specific high quality lubricants with
specific properties and additives. Most motor oils offered in America do not
meet the demanding specifications, and the European lubricants are not
readily available. As a result, problems such as premature wear and engine
sludge develop.
"Europeans build their cars and impose higher requirements on the type of
oil than we are used to here in North America," remarks an oil industry
source. "They have more of a multi-tier system within their specifications,
whereas the API uses the lowest common denominator as a guideline. It is by
its own admission, within API 1509, a minimum Spec.,,
While the American Petroleum Institute (API) sets oil standards in America,
the Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA) sets them in Europe. "ACEA
standards reflect a wider complexity of the offering of engines on the
market right now," says Herve Blanquart, VP Automotive of Motul North
America. "On top of that, manufacturers have introduced their own standards,
most of which start with the ACEA standards, and go further in specific
tests to solve specific problems and address specific issues."
In the U.S., the API adopts one standard for all engine oils. "For example
they are working on ILSAC GF-4, and the problems they are running into is
that this oil will be too thin for a lot of older engines," explains
Blanquart. "In Europe, they decided from the beginning that they would not
adopt a linear standard - rather a standard for each type of application -
gas, diesel, turbo, etc."
European vehicle manufacturers keep tight control over which lubricants
they, allow to be used in their vehicles. Inner-company bureaucracies are in
charge of keeping the approved lubricant lists up-to-date with the latest
requirements, and a few companies apply some of the regulations to North
America. European aftermarket service stations must stock different
lubricants for different automobile brands. Sometimes different models put
out by the same manufacturer require different lubricants.
Do-it-yourselfers are less prevalent in Europe. Qualified repair shops,
franchised or tightly controlled by the vehicle manufacturers in order to
dictate the type of oil being used, typically perform most of the oil
changes.
The high quality oils used in Europe allow Europeans to enjoy longer drain
intervals. However, when European vehicles are exported to the United
States, the concept becomes distorted.
"There is in general a longer drain associated with the higher tier oils in
the European system," remarks the oil industry source, "so the thought
process is if we don't allow the longer drain in North America, consumers
should be able to get by with API spec oils - but it leaves manufacturers
open to the type of problem Mercedes-Benz recently experienced."
A recent class-action lawsuit brought forward by owners of certain 1998
through 2001 Mercedes-Benz vehicles claimed they weren't informed that
synthetic motor oil was required in order to take advantage of the extended
drain intervals afforded through the use of the vehicles' Flexible Service
System (FSS). Many using conventional oils experienced premature wear
problems, and the settlement will cost the company over $32 million.
"The long drain indicator used by Mercedes is predicated on using
Mercedes-Benz-approved oil, which is a very top quality synthetic oil,"
explains the oil company source. "When those vehicles came to the States,
somehow dealerships weren't impressing upon the consumer the need to use the
right oil. And whether or not the dealers were doing so, some consumers were
putting in regular API-spec oil, resulting in problems."
Although synthetic motor oils are generally of higher quality than
conventional oils, not all synthetics can meet the stringent European
specifications. "A good quality synthetic could solve the problem," says the
source, "but in the case of M-B, for example, you're dealing with an
extremely high-spec oil. Not every synthetic is going to meet that spec.
Some only meet the baseline API specs. Just because it's a synthetic doesn't
mean it's a top tier product.
"Shop owners must keep in mind that there are numerous special requirements
for European vehicles and that they shouldn't always be knee-jerking to the
stuff in the big tank. If you call M-B, Volvo, or VW, for example, they
should be telling you that their vehicle needs ACEA spec products."
Although it's easy to assume that the more expensive the vehicle, the better
quality the lubricant it needs, that's not always the case. For example, the
mid-priced Volkswagen TDI requires a very specific, high spec lubricant.
Formulated with top-of-the-line synthetic base stocks and robust additive
packages, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils provide superior protection and
performance over competing synthetic and conventional motor oils and meet or
exceed the most stringent European oil specifications. AMSOIL synthetic
motor oils provide superior protection and performance in both foreign and
domestic automobiles for extended drain intervals of up to 35,000 miles or
one year, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in
synthetics.............
Since
1972, AMSOIL
Synthetics have proven to be the BEST.
AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Ea Oil
Filters with Nanofiber Technology which have a 25,000 mile/1-year service life as well as
specialized filtration systems for commercial and fleet
applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks which
can filter particles down to less than one micron (a standard
full flow oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns, and at
a reduced efficiency) making oil changes virtually
unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
These filters have been proven by millions of miles of
over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet
service.
