Tata Motors on Monday launched the 5W30 synthetic engine oil developed for the new-generation BS-6 diesel engines.
According to a press release from Tata Motors, the new 5W30 synthetic engine oil has been extensively tested in varied and stringent conditions for over three years. Moreover, it has been driven for more than ten lakh kilometres in difficult terrains, clocking more than 35,000 hours at the powertrain testing facilities.
Tata Motors noted that the new engine oil uses a rich combination of high-performance polymer with a state-of-the-art additive technology blended in Group III base oil.
Rajendra Petkar, President & CTO, Tata Motors, noted that sustainability today has evolved from being just a niche engagement to an absolute necessity. An effective and efficient engine oil is one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways of reducing a vehicle’s carbon emissions, he said.
Continuing that the cumulative impact of such simple measures judiciously taken across all commercial vehicles plying on roads will result in an exponential improvement in carbon footprint reduction.
“Our team at the Engineering Research Centre (ERC) has been co-engineering and developing lubricant formulations in-house, while closely working with strategic partners from the field of additive manufacturing,” Petkar added.
