Rock Oil Automotive Engine Oils

Selecting the correct engine oil

The introduction of new emissions legislation is resulting in the

development of new engine designs and after treatment systems

that require a new generation of advanced engine lubricants.

Protecting after treatment systems, improving fuel economy and

providing greater durability is now the role of a modern automotive

engine oil.

Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are one of those after-treatment

systems that most modern vehicles will now be fitted with to help

reduce the level of contaminants leaving the vehicle. The high

performance engine oils required by the latest passenger cars are

premium products, (essential components that ensure the correct

operation of each vehicle by delivering the right oil durability, fuel

economy improvement and emissions performance as demanded

by each vehicle).

Many vehicle manufacturers such as: VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and

BMW have opted to use the diesel particulate filters (DPF). To

maintain the health of the DPF, Rock Oil worked closely with many

of the worlds leading additive companies to develop a range of

products specially designed not only to meet but exceed the

requirements of diesel particulate filters.

Each Rock Oil lubricant has a specific set of approvals which meet

various OEM (original equipment manufacturer) recommendations.

By ensuring you check the approval your engine requires and

selecting the lubricant that has this approval, you will be giving

your vehicle the lubricant it needs to continue to run smoothly and

efficiently whilst satisfying emission and economy requirements.
