Sulfated Ash:
weight % of ashes – MUST be ≤ 1.5% for ECF-2 (API CI-4) and ≤ 1% for
ECF-3 (API CJ-4)
If it is too high, diesel particle filters can occur, as well as, the
development of soot in piston areas.
If it is low, DPF operating condition is optimized and warranty low
emissions. It means also low deposits, low oil consumption, best output
of the machine.
Zinc %:
Anti-wear capability – ECF2 15W-40 Zinc % is 0.146
If it is too high, a very high level of ash is created with the potential for
deposit formation.
If it is too low, anti-wear performance is negatively impacted.
Viscosity Index:
Ability to keep viscosity at low or high temperature –
ECF2 15W-40 VI is 135
The higher the VI is, the larger temperature range we could recommend
