Oil and emissions

31 August 2016  

Vehicle emissions are regulated by the Euro standards and the latest Euro 6 is the toughest yet. Not only do manufacturers have to submit to them, but so too do aftermarket suppliers.

The new low SAPS Top Tec 4310 0W30 from Liqui Moly satisfies these requirements for vehicles from the Fiat and PSA Peugeot Citroen groups. It has a low percentage of sulfate ash, phosphorus and sulphur, making it more compatible with the new catalytic converters and DPFs uses to bring emissions down.

The oil has been a challenging development for the company, especially with the Twin and Multi-Air engines from Fiat requiring a thinner oil to run at higher temperatures.
