API CJ-4: Most Robust Heavy Duty Engine Oil*
CJ-4 oils allow the use of EGR, DPF to reach the low emission
compliance for 2007
Low SAPs level to enable the use of after treatment system
Low ash level 1.0 for DPF protection
Higher stress on the oil due to EGR

Copyright Johnson Matthey Pic 2005

2010 Emission Regulation (no new category)


Lower NOx (SCR and EGR, or higher EGR rate)
Particulates matters stay at the 2007 limit
ULSD 15 ppm on and off highway
Oil for 2010 emission regulation: CJ-4 oil low SAPs (1.0 ash limit)
15W40 and 10W30 (fuel economy) available

First Truck Fuel Economy Standards in the World

Fully Implemented in 2015


Based on engine dynamometer test
Fuel economy assessed at various operating conditions and parameters
United States
Truck Fuel Economy Standards included Energy Independence and Security
Act of 2007
Study in progress to establish regulations and criteria not likely
simple mpg, probably ton-miles/gallon or some other measure
Likely to me implemented in 2016/2017
CO2 emissions regulations may be implemented earlier
Europe
No current Truck Fuel Economy Standard, but CO2 emissions
considered when establishing NOx and Particulate Emissions limits in

The Role of Renewables
Chevron Views
The world needs all kinds of energy
sources Oil, gas, unconventionals
and renewables To meet growing
demand in an environmentally sound
manner
Developing infrastructure to produce
and distribute new forms of energy
such as biofuels on a large scale will
be a significant challenge
Our goal is energy solutions that are
practical, innovative and enduring

Test is part of API CJ-4, as well as Mack EO-O specification

First 100 hr are at rated speed


and power

Last 200 hr are over-fueled at


peak torque to maximize wear rates

Primary purpose is evaluation of
