Use of lubricants
To meet increasingly severe antipollution standards, IFP Energies nouvelles is working to upgrade lubricant formulations. On the strength of its expertise in the match between engines and fuels, IFP Energies nouvelles proposes various ways to optimize the use of lubricants in engines.
IFP Energies nouvelles makes its knowledge and know-how in lubricants available to its customers.
- Quantification of lubricant performance
IFP Energies nouvelles's teams are developing testing methodologies with which to quantify the performance of lubricants in actual use in engines.
- Selection and qualification of lubricants
IFP Energies nouvelles runs tests on engine benches to select and qualify lubricants and their additives.
- Evaluation of new generations of lubricants: Long Life Renault
Developed jointly with Renault, this method is aimed at evaluating the performance of lubricants intended for applications in which oil changes are at very long intervals. It serves in particular to characterize the new generations of lubricants having very low ash contents (low-saps oil), used in application of the Euro IV depollution standards (and Euro V from 2010).
