Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responding to increased demands from government regulators and the market for increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved engine performance and durability. The primary pathway to meet these demands was to make engineering changes to vehicle hardware. These vehicle modifications put additional stress on oils, so ILSAC GF‑6 was formulated to show a step‑change improvement in oil robustness and wear protection.
In addition, ILSAC GF‑6B offers lower viscosity oils designed to provide additional fuel economy benefits and ultimately reduces emissions.
